Radio Citizen is the brainchild of composer, producer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist Niko Schabel, playing anything from woodwinds to keyboards and percussion, and handles an MPC like no one else.

He creates a fierce sonic amalgamation of organic-infused electronic music, with soundscapes ranging from dub, kraut, hip-hop, and soul, to blaxploitation soundtracks, ethno-jazz, afrobeat, funk, and world music.

Everything he produces has an overarching cinematic feel that effortlessly leaps dozens of genres in a single bound. Because of this unique sound, series like “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Californication”, and numerous Hollywood movies have featured his music.

Dive into Radio Citizen’s back catalog to go on a musical trip guiding you through dark and light atmospheres, krautrock groove loops, furious free-jazz solos, vigorous drums, and hushed Rhodes pianos. You can thank us later.
