Dashi Stardust: A Journey through Music and Emotion

Dashi Stardust, a multi-talented artist, began her artistic journey as a ballet and contemporary dancer. Hailing from Slovakia, she sought to expand her performance horizons and found herself at The Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. However, her artistic evolution took an unexpected turn in 2016 when she discovered her innate gift for singing and songwriting.

Collaborating with the brilliant jazz pianist and composer Jakub Tokoly for over two years, Dashi honed her musical skills. This journey cultivated her passion for the live gig experience, propelling her into the world of music. In 2018, she shared the stage with the phenomenal percussionist, Hearn Gadbois, renowned for his work with icons like Patti Smith and Suzanne Vega. This early journey, playing in intimate music bars across Prague, prepared Dashi for the presentation of her original music in a confident and captivating manner.

"Safety Match" EP - Exploring the Depths of Human Emotion

Dashi's latest release, the "Safety Match" EP, is a testament to her growth as an artist. The EP seamlessly connects with the themes she previously explored in her singles, "You" and "Once I Cut The Rose." Each track on the album provides insight into the complex layers of the human psyche, delving into the duality that resides within our minds.

A portion of the EP reflects on the retrospective exploration of unfulfilled love and the journey of her soul in coping with these emotions. "Helen Of Troy," a standout track from the EP, carries a strong feminist undertone, born during a time when societal perceptions of women weighed heavily on her thoughts.

The Creative Process Behind "Safety Match"

Dashi's inspiration for "Safety Match" came from the title track, a reflection of her own stagnation and a gentle, poignant realization. It serves as a reminder that one must strike their own match to ignite the flame within.

Authorship and Musical Style

Dashi Stardust, also known as Daša Horváthová, is the creative force behind the lyrics and music of the EP. For "Safety Match," she and producer Geoff Tyson remained loyal to predominantly acoustic instruments. Drawing inspiration from her solo performances with the guitar, Dashi wanted to infuse the vibe of her live concerts into the tracks. Additionally, the album features collaborations with notable musicians like David Landštof, Tomáš Jochmann, Zack Slouka and Robert Skorpil, all intertwined by Geoff Tyson's invaluable guitar expertise.

The Recording Journey and Production

The recording of "Safety Match" EP was a cross-city adventure, spanning various studios in Prague. The EP was brought to life in Sub Studio, Baracca Records, and predominantly in Mango’s Lair on Vinohrady. Geoff Tyson assumed the roles of producer, mixer, and master, ensuring the EP's sound was pristine. The striking cover art for the album was crafted by the renowned illustrator, Barbora Idesová.
