Dina Summer - Children Of The Night Dina Summer

Dina Summer is the Berlin-based collaborative project of Greek-German dark disco couple Local Suicide and Bavarian electronic producer Kalipo. The supergroup began working together in 2019 and have since been refining their combined sound. It is a unique blend of their influences, drawing from 1980s Italo disco, new wave, EBM and early 2000s electroclash for a dark retro-futuristic synth/wave pop sound that stands out with club-ready basslines, epic melodic hooks and lyrics ranging from dadaist abstractions to empowering, thought-provoking themes.
The trio return with their new mini album, ‘Children Of The Night’, bringing together all the elements that have defined their sound so far. From the disco-infused synth pop of ‘Burning Heart’ and ‘Bats In Paris’, recalling their debut album ‘Rimini’ (2022), to the dark club driven tracks ‘Fuel’, ‘Komodo 3000’ and the title track ‘Children Of The Night’, which echo the atmosphere of ‘Hide & Seek’ (2024) and the dark wave-influenced indie songs ‘Rat Race’ and ‘On The Road’, which would have felt right at home on ‘Girls Gang’ (2025), the release showcases the full spectrum of the band’s musical identity.
The nine-track record takes its title from and pays homage to Bela Lugosi’s iconic line in ‘Dracula’ (1931): “Listen to them. Children of the night… what music they make.”
