Studio footage for the video was shot in Leeds as for previous DD videos with the shot on the left showing a moment between takes of what was an otherwise intensive shoot.

365 Radio Network Collapses
Sad to announce that the Ohio based 365 Radio Network has collapsed and pulled the plug on all of its 20+ stations last year.
365 Radio were big supporters of Derelict Daydream, in particular songs from Personality Assassin and The Theory Game received heavy rotation airplay on the majority of their stations. Their collapse is a sad loss for independent artists and exposure of independent music across the globe.
Derelict Daydream entered their charts on several occasions with several songs breaking the Top 10, including Mindslave and Animal Kingdom, the latter of which entered the top 10 chart twice.
New Derelict Daydream EP/Mini Album Goes Production
Derelict Daydream has resumed recording of a new EP/Mini Album due to be released early next year. The material shows a softer side of the artists sound with a more electro-acoustic vibe before moving onto the next album where the heaviness will return.
Derelict Daydream has entered production with 11 new songs plus a few cover versions, including an acoustic version of Beautiful Silence with the electric version being left over from the Personality Assassin sections.
DD says 'I've had some of these songs kicking around for a while now and wanted to produce them but they didn't feel like they belonged on an album as such, so hence this new project. It'll show yet another side to the multi faceted Derelict Daydream'.
More minor chart placements and re-entries for Derelict Daydream in the 365 Radio Network Charts
