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.
Our pick here falls on ‘The Silk Road’ which picks up the eastern trail and sweeps us deep into the desert on a flying acid carpet.
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.

PREMIERE | Krokakai - The Silk Road [Higher Hopes] 2021

E.L.I. lands on MRT shores and pollutes them with all sort of filth. The label second last instalment takes us to Britain and it is one of the most aggressive so far. The distorted screams, the ultra darkness, the violent atmosphere it creates is tinted in black and white by the stroboscopic lights of underground clubs. A perfect mixture of relentless basslines and straightforward rhythmic patterns for the dancers with no cause, with no hope for tomorrow. Places made famous by death and disaster.

Violence is Bliss

CRYPTOCHROMA is a one man project from Sint-Niklaas (Belgium). Jan Vinoelst started composing in the early nineties and performed in bands like Cluster M13 and Messier 39. The music is heavily based on analog synths, obscure atmoshperes and darker contemporary themes. Often inspired by new wave music from the eighties CRYPTOCHROMA makes his way in a wayward and lonely fashion.
