Dimitri Pike "escape"

DIMITRI PIKE
"escape"
LP

Coming early 2023...


Since the release of Awakening in 2017, my life has undergone many changes and evolutions, both wanted and unwanted. Through the people I've met and the places I've visited, I've been able to observe and deeply analyze how the world around us works and moves. And it's moving fast.

Unfortunately, I've noticed that while many people chase an elusive idea of happiness, many others suffer from very profound traumas and wounds that have little or no cure.

In 2019, I took and completed a sound design class and started working hard to create my own business. Then, in early 2020, COVID-19 entered our lives. Lockdowns, masks, social distancing, closed restaurants, bars, clubs, and festivals, banned travel, and then the variants and the collective hysteria about vaccines made it feel like DJing, music production, and everything else I loved was behind me and would never come back. I entered a long but rewarding period of introspection and faced my own traumas and wounds, realizing how big and destructive some of them were.

I started practicing Muay Thai, which helped me to develop my fighter spirit through discipline, effort, and pain. It's hard to explain, but suffering can be pleasurable for those who are used to it.

In early 2022, the war between Ukraine and Russia made COVID-19 a thing of the past. It was like magic. I started paying more attention to the news, looking for alternative information, and seeking the truth by looking at facts rather than opinions.

My desire to produce music returned like a thunderstorm, and I found a new fight, a meaning for my ideas that I can't find words to describe.

Music has always been my escape, and from now on, I will use my tracks as loaded guns to fight submission, totalitarian ideas, unlawful acts, political dominance, and anything else that goes against human freedom for as long as I am allowed to remain on earth.

"escape"

Escape lies and embrace truth.

The désillusion of a child who used to dream

The désillusion of a child who used to dream

"escape" is the next coming LP from Dimitri Pike, and its first preview is a melodic techno track that evokes the memories of a child who used to dream about the future. This song captures the innocence and imagination of youth, before the harsh realities of the adult world inevitably intrude and shatter our expectations. It is a nostalgically bittersweet tribute to the power of imagination and the longing for what might have been.

The lone journey of becoming a man

The lone journey of becoming a man

"escape" is the next coming LP from Dimitri Pike. It is here that I am most conscious of being, here that wonder comes upon my blood, here I want to live forever; and it is no matter that I must die. The journey to becoming a man is a long and arduous one, and only the strong can survive it. Universe has crafted some of us to be strong and resilient, emotional but firm and wild. I will never forget the feeling of loneliness, the challenges, the pain of losing those I love, and from my own experiences, I have embraced and cherished every moment that has made me who I am today. I have never given up, I have always risen up to the challenge and fought again and again, no matter how difficult it may seem. This is my journey, my story, my life - and I am proud of who I have become.

Life 3.0 - New Horizons

Life 3.0 - New Horizons

“escape” is the next coming LP from Dimitri Pike. Changes are a constant in life, and it’s important to embrace the unknown and accept that nothing is fixed. The flow of time is always moving and evolving, and we must adapt to it in order to avoid getting lost and alone. What was once familiar may no longer be, and even the present is just an illusion. Instead of trying to imagine what’s to come, we should ask the universe and have confidence in the moment and the journey. Remembering past experiences and lessons, both the successes and the mistakes, can help us find balance in what we already know and what we have yet to learn. It’s important to keep an open mind and look as far into the future as possible, leaving the past where it belongs.

Northopolis

Northopolis

Year 2877, the world has undergone a transformation beyond recognition. After multiple nuclear wars and impacts from unidentified objects from space, the survivors of humanity face a harsh existence. The poles have become the last bastions of life, sustained only through advanced technology. The towering buildings have been retrofitted into spacecrafts, ready to launch at a moment's notice in the face of a new alien threat. Devastating events have shifted the planet from its axis, resulting in lethal temperatures and air full of toxic particles. The once abundant wildlife is now extinct, with limited cloning technology providing the only source of new creatures. The Moon's destruction by a meteorite has altered ocean currents and made water a source of death. The worldwide government, based in Northopolis, formerly Novaya Zemlya, exerts strict control over the remaining population, which has dwindled to less than a billion. Human procreation is no longer allowed, with limited embryons produced in government labs to regulate population growth.
