Radio Citizen - Lost & Found

"Lost & Found" presents unreleased material from Bajka and Niko Schabel, famous for their hits "The Hop" and "Summertime" with fans all over the world. And it features two unheard collaborations with MPC wizard Masajjaa.

This record is a dive into the history of Radio Citizen´s early Berlin days and in spite of all the time gone by this album sounds as edgy and fresh as "Berlin Serengeti" and "Hope and Despair" from the years 2006 and 2010.

Radio Citizen is a project by mastermind Niko Schabel and a group of musicians from Berlin and Munich, including Marja Burchard (Embryo), Wolfi Schlick (Express Brass Band) and Johannes Schleiermacher (Training, Shake Stew with Shabaka). Musically diverse, it had been tagged:
deep krautjazz dubecho clubculture electric arcadia free soul. So far so good.

Bajka is a vocalist and aritst born India with a distinctive voice that reminds in some ways of Billie Holiday and Erykah Badu. Apart from Radio Citizen she worked among others with Beanfield (check out the Carl Craig remix), Dissidenten and Bonobo. And Bajka released records under her own name, check out her wonderful single on Jazzman Records, Bajka in Wonderland and Bajka with Rejoicer.
