LP version. Dillon's fourth LP, 6abotage, captures today's zeitgeist like few others. A work of sore desperation but also reassuring devotion. Her fourth, and perhaps boldest, album project, 6abotage, marks Dillon's first full-length since 2017's Kind. Described by Dillon herself as "a love letter, a cry for help and a consequence, all in one," 6abotage is the unapologetic manifestation of Dillon's latest artistic excursion with artist and producer Alexis Troy. Together Dillon and Troy have created a lyrically and sonically captivating and genre-bending body of work. The unmistakable soreness of Dillon's voice surrounded by and embedded within Troy's decisive and, at times, almost cinematic production defeats all genre stereotypes. Written, produced, and recorded in complete isolation, 6abotage reflects today's zeitgeist. It is sore and desperate but also reassuring and devoted. 6abotage is a successful protest. A successful protest against stereotypes and preconceptions. A protest against excessive suffering. A protest for selflove. A protest for patience and vulnerability. A protest for forgiveness and growth.

Double LP version. Includes CD. Dillon presents Live At Haus Der Berliner Festspiele. Recorded at the extraordinary Berlin theater, Haus der Berliner Festspiele. Born in Brazil, raised in Cologne and based in Berlin, Dominique Dillon de Byington, aka Dillon, has always had a clear vision of her art. Her two previous albums, This Silence Kills (BPC 244CD/LP, 2011) and The Unknown (BPC 285CD/LP, 2014), told a coherent story and together carried her live shows. Her live shows demonstrate a magical interchange between the dark-melodic songs of both albums. In 2015, she developed a unique concert with a six-piece women's choir for the Berlin Foreign Affairs Festival. The choir accompanied her and Tamer Fahri Özgönenc, her collaborator and co-producer of her first two albums, in the live performance at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele, held in July 2015. "I felt the need to work with vocals and to create an additional layer that breathes in this space between the electronic music and myself. I was very attracted to this idea, so Tamer and I wrote and arranged the choir parts together," Dillon explains. The choir injects a new physical layer into her music, which is dominated by piano and electronic sounds, and her own voice dances longingly in this space. The live recording of the concert reveals just how naturally this new element slots into her dramatically minimal music. "When I started writing my new album The Unknown, I already knew it would be a continuation of This Silence Kills in terms of both music and content. Now the two albums are being brought together as a release, as well as in the live shows. For me, this album could be called 'This Silence Kills The Unknown' ". Standard CD comes with 12-page poster booklet.

For her "A Matter of Time" remix EP Dillon has allowed four genuine masters of their trade to lay hands on the original. Planningtorock manipulates Dillon's voice in a similar way to her own productions, giving it an almost genderless breadth. Marcel Dettmann initially extends Dillon's vocals, and the industrial slipstream provides a space for a loop monster à la Dettmann -- raw, primal and dirty. Anstam applies his trademark sound design to his interpretation, lending Dillon's voice an almost reverent glow among the hectic light of IDM abstractions. Monokle begins his remix as an ambient piece, before the fat break beats transform the original into a pumping track.

First a roar steadily builds, then we hear the first piano tone of The Unknown -- along with the voice of Dominique Dillon de Byington. There it is again, the unique timbre of the young Berlin-based artist who captivated the music press and arts critics alike with her 2011 debut album on BPitch Control, This Silence Kills (BPC 244CD/LP). This Silence Kills was sweet and enticing enough to establish itself as a pop record with singer-songwriter passion and experimental enough to be taken seriously as an art project. It was described as chanson-pop, sensuous electronic music featuring a voice comparable to Feist, Björk, or Joanna Newsom. There followed two sold-out tours and numerous festival gigs all over the world -- a life on the road. For Dillon this was completely unexplored territory. "The Unknown" is not only the first song she wrote for her eponymous second album, it is how Dillon evokes that thing in life that has no name, no description, no boundaries. The unknown can be anything: longing, love, loss, transience, fear or desire. In keeping with the cover art for The Unknown, the 12 new tracks have a more direct, natural and candid feel: "The lyrics are a lot more abstract and open, although they are just as personal and introverted," says Dillon. Tracks like "In Silence" and "4ever" are sometimes pensive, they exude this profound contemplation which must not always be characterized as melancholy. Whereas the majority of the debut album, with all its melodies and arrangements, had been written before it was recorded, The Unknown came about more as a conceptual work. Yet despite the new approach, it should still be understood as a sequel to This Silence Kills. The foundation for album number two was laid within three weeks at the same studio and even in the same room of Clouds Hill Recordings in Hamburg. Once more she worked with Thies Mynther (Phantom/Ghost) and Tamer Fahri Özgönenc (Mit), and the result of these creative exchanges is a narrative gem that is eager to retain some malaise around the edges. From the ballad-like lead single "A Matter of Time" to the chamber music style "Forward" -- Dillon's impressive voice comes even more to the fore on The Unknown. The piano is not only present on almost every song, it also conveys an incredible depth that complements the playful naivety of the debut album. Although the bass drum makes its presence felt as a silhouette on "Into the Deep" and the club-infused "Nowhere" develops this electronic substructure further, The Unknown is more puristic, more enigmatic and certainly not a dance album. The Unknown is a dense, compact work from an extraordinary artist whose journey has only just begun.

The remixes showcased on Dillon's Your Flesh Against Mine EP once again achieve what appears to be the virtually impossible: six different producers including Denniz Kurtel, Lee Foss & MK, Creep and Life & Death combine Dillon's singer-songwriter compositions, all trembling with internal tension, and turn them into a whole that is as multi-faceted as it is homogenous, and which has some truly danceable tracks for both on and off the dancefloor.

Debut album for the singer and pianist Dominique Dillon de Byington aka Dillon, who has made a winding journey from Brazil to Berlin via Cologne. Dillon is inspired by Billie Holiday, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jeff Buckley, and highly recommended by DJ Koze. Everyone knows that DJ Koze has prophetic qualities, and not just since he began dropping tracks under his guru pseudonym Swhaimi. You see, many years before, he also waxed oracular about the singer Dominique Dillon de Byington, aka Dillon: "She sings comfortably imperfect and true. She has character. I like her. She has a bright future ahead of her." And that future once prophesied by the wise Hamburg resident about the young artist from Berlin is now, as Dillon has sat down at her piano many times during the past few years and written captivating, quiet songs that definitely should be heard extremely loud. This Silence Kills was co-produced by Tamer Özgönenc and Thies Mynther in Hamburg during Winter 2011. CD housed in a deluxe digipak with fold-out poster-booklet.
