Born under August sun,
in year of the dog,
brings luck for great times,
like a pup in summer.

D.Dan launches his own label, summerpup, as a home for his unique blend of deep, groovy, rolling sounds steeped in psychedelia. The label’s playful name and mantra derives from heritage knowledge from his Korean roots passed down by his mother, based on his time of birth.

Release date: Dec.03.2021

**Currently the vinyl industry is experiencing delays of 8-12+ months in production times, without solid guarantee of a release date. I find this just too long to delay getting the music out to the people, so I have decided to go forth with releasing the digital files now, with the vinyl to come next year when production has finished. I appreciate your patience and understanding! x

D.Dan - summerpup (PUP001)

Next up on summerpup is the debut release and full-length album from Berlin-based artist xupid. Tripped out diverse techno-bass hybrids, cuts and grooves. 

xupid and I first met in Berlin in 2013 and have been exchanging tracks ever since, many of which have been my secret dj weapons over the years. I'm really happy to share these with you now, as xupid's first full release. 

The album is released on 2x12" Vinyl with a beautiful printed sleeve. The silver pieces depicting 'xupid' on the cover and inner labels are individual pieces of silver jewelry metalwork, each designed, handcrafted and photographed by NYC-based artist Sam Shin. 

Release Date: Nov.17.2023
