Safari Explorer - Kent Install (2020)

Kent Install is the debut record from Safari Explorer, a solo project by Dilian, musician/producer based in Brooklyn, NY. Safari Explorer is an exploration / exercise in creating pop melodies that pull influence from Cumbia, he often heard growing up in Mexico City, and from Dilian’s worldwide travel.

The album doesn’t function as a concept album, instead focusing more on found meanings in novel combinations and a pop approach. Recorded mostly on 4 tracks and with minimal gear, the album is an emotional tour of Dilian’s interior world + a world where access is immediate and global in the data age.
