Cool Hunting: Radio Citizen: Berlin Serengeti |
 | | Weaving bright and multicolored strands of programmed sounds and live instrumentation into a lavish and virtually seamless fabric, Radio Citizen’s Berlin Serengeti, as the title suggests, is a transcontinental journey. |
 | | Fusing African, Arabic, Latin, and European 60’s-era jazz and trippy rock sounds with a modern twist, the album balances vocal and instrumental tunes with wailing horns, driving yet nuanced drum tracks and sultry vocals—all enveloped in a smoke cloud of cinematic mystique. |
 | | Niko Schabel, 27, the German musician/producer behind Radio Citizen, wears his many hats impressively well, as writer, producer, programmer, and instrumentalist, playing saxophone, clarinet, flute, keys, and percussion on the record. |
