Introducing Higher Hopes, a brand-new label from DC Salas.
A deeply personal project for the Biologic Records co-boss, Higher Hopes is inspired by the deep immersive, unconventional and left-leaning underground music he loves to play in clubs.
Music like Krokakai’s. An emergent Glaswegian producer with a penchant for hardware – largely using an MPC2000XL, SH09, MS20 Mini, TT-303, Roland Alpha Juno and other trusted tools – he’s already turned heads on labels such as Invisible Inc and PowerStation Records. Right here he lays down the label’s parameters with four unique, far-reaching escapades.
Moody, leather-clad synth magic with a hint of eastern promise, ‘Afterburn’ sets the electro and Detroit inspired scene. It’s backed by more dark matter; ‘Horn Please’ is a globule of a track that oozes out of the speakers, ‘The Silk Road’ picks up the eastern trail again and sweeps us deep into the desert on a flying acid carpet before the dreamy electroid finale ‘Final Warning’ floats us back home lucidly.
Music to dance to, music to dream to, music for brighter times. Higher Hopes is vinyl-focused and distributed by Brussels record store Crevette Records. More transmissions will follow very soon.
