Endless Summer

CONTENT PROVIDER– Endless Summer
Out June 6th (Cassette/Digital via Drowned By Locals & Bokeh Versions)

• Dali de Saint Paul—Bristol's experimental firebrand—reimagines herself asCONTENT PROVIDER, a producer flipping the script.Endless Summeris a cassette-shaped escape hatch from techno-capitalist decay: warped reggae beats ("E-System"), lovelorn electro ("Overdrive"), and dread-laced poetry ("Close Ur Eyes") collide in a DIY odyssey.

• Recorded on an Octatrack with guest raps fromFranco Franco,Manonmars, and more, this isBristol's underground heartbeat: gritty, hopeful, and defiantly romantic. Imagine dancing through a nuclear sunset, clutching a mixtape of shattered pop dreams.

For fans of: Kode9 & Spaceape's noir, Young Echo's bassweight, or anyone craving music that's syrupy, sultry, and sublimely damaged.


Love in the time of collectively assured techno-capitalist-nuclear holocaust! It's the endless summer the Brits have been harping on about since they think they won the World Cup. The soundtrack is the debut album of the Content Provider; where Octatrack illbient and industrial chanson mesh in a singed postcard addressed to the UK Border Force and co-signed by aliens plucked from the petri dishes ofYoung Echo,Cold LightandAvon Terror Corps.

It's a name she tried to keep anonymous, but Drowned By Locals and Bokeh Versions are breaking contract to reveal that the Content Provider is in fact the shock production alias ofDALI DE SAINT PAUL. Patron saint of Bristol's self-destructive improv idolsEP/64as well as post-feminist chamber collectiveViridian Ensemble, avant-terror duoHarrgaand constant collaborator with the likes of *breathe*Moor Mother, Valentina Magaletti, Mariam Rezaei, Vincent Moon, Maxwell Sterling, Ossia, Ben Vince.

And isn't it such a strange release? And won't people be surprised? Endless Summer is grubby and heartfelt, defiant and hopeful, with flecks of warped reggae on E-System nudging the freeform dream balladry of A Feeling and Sunday Morning, Kode9 & Spaceape-worthy dread poetry of Close Ur Eyes next to anthemic electro-crush of Overdrive. Even to those that know her well, and EVERYONE with their belly in the Bristol underground knows her, Endless Summer is a revelation. Perhaps the apex of the known Dali-verse……where her live gigs have boiled with an experimental volcanic vocal force, Endless Summer is twisted, syrupy, sultry, POP.

In the words of the Content Provider herself:

"The CONTENT PROVIDER project is the way I thumb my nose to the music industry using an alias as producer. I'd like to show that I'm not only a vocalist but a musician and that I can produce beats too, asking a few vocalists/ MCs to do featuring - I like the idea of being the woman who is making men sing, (when for so long, they have been making me do the singing)."


Recorded and mixed by Franco Franco, Matt Light and Dali in Bristol, 2023-2024.

Mastered by Dylan Mallett.

All music by Dali de Saint Paul.
