DiN is an ambient music label that was started by Ian Boddy in April 1999. With a focus on electronic and experimental music, DiN has become known for releasing innovative and boundary-pushing albums.
Since its inception, DiN has been dedicated to showcasing the work of talented artists from around the world. The label has released albums from renowned musicians such as *Robert Rich*, *Tetsu Inoue*, and *Erik Wøllo*, among others.
With a commitment to quality and artistic integrity, DiN continues to be at the forefront of the ambient music scene. Their releases span various subgenres within ambient music, including dark ambient, space music, and glitch. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the genre, exploring the diverse catalog of DiN is sure to be a captivating journey into sonic landscapes like no other.

Surface 10 is the moniker of Californian electronic musician Dean De Benedictus. He has previously released albums on the DiN label with In Vitro Tide (DiN8) &amp; Surface Tensions (DiN24). Finishing a hiatus of over a decade, which saw him pursuing several film projects, he returns to DiN with a stunningly original new album, A Stray Ending (DiN77). The DiN label has always actively encouraged the blurring of genre boundaries and with this new opus Dean has certainly done that with influences as far flung as electronica, ambient, IDM, Berlin school, glitch, progressive jazz fusion, world and cinematic music. Such a heady mixture is immediately apparent on the opener “Neverheart” with its achingly beautiful and haunting chordal themes overlaid with an intertwining tapestry of percussion and glitched out effects. The album rises and falls through layers of dazzling sound design and compositional complexity to reach its apex with the freak-out intensity of “Azz”. This new album from Surface 10 is almost beyond categorisation and is full of so many inventive and detailed sonic and musical elements that it will give the listener something new to focus in on each and every listen. Another truly unique addition to the DiN catalogue.
