Children Of The Night / Bats In Paris by Dina Summer

Dina Summer is the Berlin-based collaborative project of the Greek-German dark-disco duo Local Suicide and the Bavarian electronic producer Kalipo. The supergroup began working together in 2019 and has since been refining its combined sound. It is a unique blend of their influences, drawing from 80s italo disco, new wave, EBM, and early 00s 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.

On October 9, 2026, the trio will return with their new mini album, "Children Of The Night," bringing together all the elements that have defined their sound so far. The nine-track record pays homage to Bela Lugosi's iconic line in Dracula (1931): "Listen to them. Children of the night… what music they make."

The title track emblematizes a new era for Dina Summer, which sees the band take their popular dark disco style and turn up the intensity. High synths fire out like warning shots over propulsive basslines while Dina cries out, summoning an army to the dancefloor. Its lyrics are a call to arms for all night creatures, an invitation to step out of the shadows and forge a new world together.

Calling all misfits, goths, and nocturnal creatures, the new single "Bats In Paris" is the perfect soundtrack for stalking moodily through the night. The track begins with a crisp synth intro that forms the foundation for Dina’s sultry vocal line. With its spoken-word lyrics oozing cool, the track evokes the band’s popular single "Girls Gang", this time leaning more into pop stylings as Kalipo joins Dina to sing a chorus that’ll have you tapping your feet.

On the Children Of The Night Tour, the trio will perform at renowned venues and festivals, including Berghain, Wave Gotik Treffen, Amphi Festival, E-Tropolis Festival, Grauzone Festival, Out Of Line Weekender, Katzenclub Festival, Extramuralhas, and Baroeg before embarking on a series of headline shows in Berlin, London, Paris, Athens, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago, Buenos Aires, and many more.

The mini album will be released on October 9th, 2026, digitally and on vinyl via Iptamenos Discos, with editions available on black vinyl and blood-red/black-marbled vinyl.
