CONTENT PROVIDER–Endless Summer(Drowned By Locals / Bokeh Versions | June 6th)


Artist: The debut production alias ofDali de Saint Paul—Bristolian experimental icon (EP/64, Harrga, Viridian Ensemble) and collaborator with Moor Mother, Valentina Magaletti, andMariam Rezaei.


Sound: A dystopian love letter fusingillbient grit,industrial chanson, and warped pop. Think Kode9’s dread poetry meets syrupy electro-crush, with flecks of reggae and freeform balladry.


Features: Guest MC turns fromFranco Franco(Avon Terror Corps),D. Ham,Manonmars(Young Echo), andBirthmark(Cold Light)—flipping gender norms as Dali commands production.


Production: Crafted on an Octatrack (2020–2022) using only built-in samples; raw, spontaneous, and Bristol-born. Mixed by Franco Franco/Matt Light, mastered by Dylan Mallett.


Format: Cassette + postcard—a tactile artifact for fans of analog underground.


Established Artist:Dali de Saint Paul is a celebrated force in experimental music, lauded byThe Wire, andThe Quietusfor her work and collaborations.


Ideal for: Shops stocking experimental electronics, Bristol scene devotees, and collectors of Young Echo, Kode9, or industrial pop.



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 of Young Echo, Cold Light and Avon 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 of DALI DE SAINT PAUL. Patron saint of Bristol’s self-destructive improv idols EP/64as well as post-feminist chamber collective Viridian Ensemble, avant-terror duo Harrgaand 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.
