BLIND SUMMIT EP

Blind Summit REWORKED

Skin Hunger EP

Allocated Leisure Time - (Memory Play Rework)

We are really excited to announce our next Dialogue release, Blind Summit REWORKED featuring tracks from Machine Woman, Delay Grounds, Memory Play and El Hardwick. It’s been a pleasure to hear our first EP reworked by some of favourite artists and we look forward to sharing where the tracks have been taken to! 

Today we share the first track ahead of the full EP release on Friday 3rd December!

El Hardwick is a london based musician, photographer, curator, director and writer. Identifying as trans non-binary, their work explores relationships between bodies and their surrounding environments, queer world making practices, and how we can heal on a damaged planet. 

'El has given Unlearn a beautiful, ambient, atmospheric reimagining, pushing at and exploring the space the original hinted at.’

Keep an eye out for more traxxx every Friday for the next few weeks! ✌️

Blind Summit Reworked

Blind Summit (Delay Grounds Rework)

Tears stained her cheeks, her eyes puffy and sore from lack of sleep. This room had become her sanctuary, the only place she felt safe and secure, the only four walls she'd known for weeks. From beneath her duvet she cast aside reality, the outside world now a distant memory. What had once felt like endless pain had become something altogether different — she no longer felt anything, only numbness.

Queer-friendly techno party Dialogue have long established themselves in Bristol as a space for forward-thinking music, hosting exciting artists like Loraine James, object blue and Batu over the years. Last March, the minds behind the party, ASTRYD, stepped out of the shadows and into the spotlight with their debut release ‘Blind Summit’. 

As a follow up to the EP, the pair have invited friends and favourites to offer up their own takes on the originals, namely artists who’ve played at their parties or are part of the Bristol scene in general. Among those tasked with breathing new life into the tracks are Pressure Dome and Lapsus Records alumni Delay Grounds, photographer, musician and writer El Hardwick, Dialogue co-founder Memory Play and our pick from the inimitable Machine Woman.

SKIN HUNGER

Premiere: ASTRYD ‘Skin Hunger’

Fresh from a 3 month residency in Japan, which saw a string of live and DJ sets, ASTRYD return with four new cuts. Written and recorded in London throughout 2022, Skin Hunger EP is their first release of 2023.

The EP comes out on the duo's own imprint Dialogue, the label arm of the parties which have been running in Bristol and London over the past 6 years. Dialogue has hosted a diverse and eclectic selection of artists and DJ’s over this time including Loraine James, Giant Swan, object blue, Batu, Akua, Delay Grounds and more.

Dancefloor focused 404:badpathway kicks things off, ‘This track was road tested at multiple clubs in Japan and quickly became a favourite of ours basically based on how much audiences reacted to it.’
