Dina Summer are back with a vengeance! The international trio, a collaborative project of Greco-German couple Local Suicide and Bavarian producer Kalipo, are set to return with a new remix LP and an album reissue following the thundering release of their critically-acclaimed debut album ‘Rimini’.
Released last year on Audiolith, the album promptly sold out and received rave reviews for its effortless and refreshing blend of Italo, New Wave, Punk and Electroclash influences. Described as “the perfect summer album” and “a magnificent guilty pleasure”, it was featured in high-profile international publications such as FAZE, Groove, Tsugi, DJ Mag, and played on radio stations all over the world. The album reissue will also be accompanied by the ‘Versioni Discoteca’ LP. This sweeping new release features an exclusive track, as well as longer club versions of the album originals, now out on vinyl for the first time ever.
The first track ‘Revenge (Dark Disco Edit)’ immediately takes the listener along for a groovy journey back in time, perfectly showcasing the group’s disco influences with washed guitars and plucks and a masterfully gripping bass line. It’s followed by the equally retro-sounding ‘Rimini (Versione Cocorico)’, with its nostalgic synths bleeding through the hard beat to create a beautifully moody version of the laid-back original track. The electric ‘Mars (Mountains of Dust Edit)’ then blends the spacey leads and relaxed vocals with pulsing arpeggios and deep, driving bass lines, lending a futuristic touch to the multi-layered and complex soundscape. Coming next, the trio’s frenzied remix of ‘Girls’ by the New-York based producer Black Light Smoke combines a metallic, machine-like beat and muffled vocals with liquid notes floating overhead in an electrifying ebb and flow.
Side B opens up with ‘Revenge (SAW Edit)’, a dark, gritty version of the original, with a driving saw bass and arpeggios that unite to create an unrelenting tension. The ‘Mirage (Heat Rush Edit)’ adds a dark and driving spin to the seductive, oriental-style lead, building with a moody, foreboding intro before breaking into a dark and driving club banger. Far from letting up the tension, the grungy ‘Rimini (Spree Version)’ brings frantic sirens and a heady beat for a wired-up, edgy sound. The album closes off with ‘Amore (Dunkler Edit)’, a feverish, gritty exclusive track that loops in on itself in a vertigo-inducing frenzy which hasn’t been released yet.
From deeply retro, disco-inspired tracks to dancefloor-ready bangers, the ‘Versioni Discoteca’ LP is the perfect outlet to showcase the trio’s absolute mastery of versatile genres and influences.
Both LPs will be released on April 14th, 2023 via Audiolith and can be purchased separately or together as the ‘Editione Extra Lusso’ bundle, available via the Audiolith shop and the Dina Summer Bandshop. The Club Versions album and the bundle also come with a huge selection of digital remixes, including several unreleased tracks. Don’t miss the Berlin release party at Urban Spree on the same day!
