My first single for my upcoming album “Fauna & Flora” is now out in the world.

„Don’t Forget To Breathe” was born back in 2019, in Berlin, at Âme’s studio with a rough idea from me and Jens Kuross, from that moment on I knew this was gonna be the track that pushed everything forward and set the tone for what “Fauna & Flora” was gonna become. Thanks to everyone involved directly or indirectly helping this track come to life. 

Special mention to Steffen “Dixon” that executive produced all the tracks in the album and worked tirelessly like it was his very own music and in the end it became. In the end it is.
It’s not mine anymore, it’s from everyone.

Thank you Frank for your kindness as always opening your doors to me and giving me an overwhelming source of inspiration.

Thank you Kristian for your endless knowledge and energy.

Innervisions.
Executive Produced by Steffen “Dixon” Berkhan.

Dino Lenny returns to Crosstown Rebels with his latest single ‘I’ve Learned That’, accompanied by remixes  from Shadow Child and Jonathan Kaspar - plus his own take with Fed Conti. 

A regular on labels including Afterlife, Ellum, Innervisions, and Diynamic, London-based Italian-born DJ/producer  and Fine Human Records boss Dino Lenny’s solo and collaborative catalogue continues to grow as he features as  one of the most consistent names within the worlds of house and techno. Having released his first EP on the label  in 2019, he now returns to Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels for a second outing with the release of his  touching new single ‘I’ve Learned That’ - which is one of a collection of records dedicated to his daughter - with  remixes from Shadow Child, Jonathan Kaspar, and his own interpretation alongside Fed Conti. 

“My daughter Victoria is seven years old. Since she was born, I always felt I had to make sure she knew  about me straight away. You never know how much time you have. At first, I was going to write a diary  with all my thoughts and stuff like that. But if she’s a little bit like me, she’d probably pick up the book a  few times and leave it there. So I decided to transform my thoughts for her into songs. ‘I’ve Learned That’  is one of those.” - Dino Lenny. 

Shaped by emotive piano keys, blooming strings and refined drums, ‘I’ve Learned’ showcases a rich and  heartwarming production taking cues from dance music and beyond as the track’s uplifting and inspiring vocals  carry the production across nine minutes of delight. 

Beginning the transition towards more traditional electronic spheres, his remix alongside Fed Conti utilises vibrant  guitar licks and a luminous bassline to head into a late-night discovery of disco influences. Next, Shadow Child’s  ‘Classic Mix’ is a skippy house gem as bumping low-ends work amongst hazy chords, with Jonathan Kaspar’s  remix moving deeper via surging synths for a hypnotic and thrilling ride to close.

Dino Lenny - I’ve Learned That (Jonathan Kaspar Remix)

Sacred symbols, a tool for communication with pagan gods and subtle civilizations. They have enormous power and, depending on whoever addresses them with dark or light energy, the formulas can be equally creative or fatally destructive, including for the person addressing them. Futarch is the alphabet of divine symbols, directly related to the universe, and their secret power is inaccessible to everyone who turns to them.
