Dina Summer is the Berlin-based collaborative band project between Kalipoand DJ couple Local Suicide, fronted by Dina. The Greek native, who lends her vocals to the act, first started performing as a teen on local radio stations, making waves as one of the first female DJs in Thessaloniki. She later moved to Berlin, meeting her partner Max to form Local Suicide. The third member is Bavarian-born Jakob aka Kalipo, who started his music career as founding member of the legendary German electro punk band Frittenbude.
The supergroup began working on music together in 2019 and have since been refining their combined sound. It is a unique blend of their influences, drawing from 80s italo disco, new wave, EBM and early 00s electro clash for a dark retro-futuristic synth/wave pop sound that is standing out with its clubby basslines, epic melody hooks and dada lyrics.
Their previous work includes the critically acclaimed 2025 Synth-Wave album 'Girls Gang', their 2022 album 'Rimini', which dives into retro disco nostalgia, as well as the 2021 EP ‘Who Am I’ and the 2024 EP ‘Hide & Seek’.
With millions of streams and international radio airplay, Dina Summer's music has been supported by DJs like Charlotte De Witte, The Hacker, Vitalic, DJ Harvey, Âme, Dixon & DJ Hell. Their releases have garnered coverage from prominent publications, including RA, DJ Mag, Mixmag, Musikexpress, Tsugi, ELLE, Penthouse, and FAZE, which hailed them as one of Germany’s most promising electronic acts.
