This is Copenhagen-based producer Mikkel Meldgaard's (aka Mikkel Metal) fourth full-length release, and third for the Echochord label. Peaks And Troughs contains 11 brand new tracks by Mikkel, and four of them contain vocals by Paul St. Hilaire. On this album, Mikkel works with a vocalist for the first time, and it has always been his wish to do something with Paul St. Hilaire. Paul St. Hilaire, formerly known as Tikiman from The Caribbean Island, now lives in Berlin and is known from his own label False Tuned, and many, many productions with labels such as Rhythm & Sound, Burial Mix and Mainstreet. On Peaks And Troughs, Mikkel presents his own unique style of dub -- dark, seductive, and sometimes gritty, with the same measured and atmospheric attention to beats consistent with his previous releases. The stellar vocals by Paul St. Hilaire seem more than a natural fit and a higher-level commitment to deep dubness for which Mikkel Metal is most worthy.
