DALO – GUM [TRESOR353]

Tresor Records unveil a new EP from DALO entitled “GUM”. DALO, aka Nadia D’Alo, is one of the founders of the R.i.O label and half of the duo INIT. After several years of performing as INIT with Benedikt Frey, she had her solo live debut in Berlin in 2022. “GUM” showcases DALO’s expert mastery of rising tension through analogue sound sources, as it swings in and remains with minimal changes and accentuation.

Dalo – Punch [ESP095]

DALO aka Nadia D’Alò emerged at the ESP Institute in 2018 with a brutal remix for Benedikt Frey’s Private Games. Having been floored by her sinister aesthetic and stripped-back approach to production, as well as being long time fans of INIT (her collaborative project with Benedikt), the ESP institute was compelled to commission a dedicated solo work. Across four beastly tracks, Nadia pulls from a gritty palette of instrumentation, combining ritualistic drums, industrial percussion and scratchy acid lines with a blurry montage of demonic sighs and whispers. The result is deeply hypnotic.
