ASTRYD soundtrack a desperate ascent with ‘Blind Summit’
A collaboration with filmmaker Elisa Cucinelli and dancer Justin Thomas-Smith.
ASTRYD, the duo behind Bristol’s beloved Dialogue parties, translate the adventurous, forward-thinking ethos of their night into elegant, propulsive techno with ‘Blind Summit’, the title track from their forthcoming EP.
To mark the project’s release the duo have collaborated with filmmaker Elisa Cucinelli on an atmospheric visual accompaniment, shot at an open mine in Austria and on location in Berlin.
The video stars writer and dancer Justin Thomas-Smith in a feverish and desperate ascent up to the titular blind summit and, according to ASTRYD, mirrors the driving sounds of the track, which explores “our human relationship to, and violation of the earth.”
