MILLHOPE
TRUTH & DARE
Release: 7th March 2025
(Hey!blau Records)
a hypnotic journey that pulses between Chillwave, Ambient Rock, and
Downbeat.
millhope is the brainchild of Thomas Mühlhoff, a musician and
producer with a passion for crafting immersive, textured soundscapes
that linger long after the music fades. Born in 1984, Mühlhoff honed his
skills in guitar, jazz, and pop during his studies, and spent years carving
out a name in bands and projects like the duo Tom und Jenny,
producing for artists such as Susanne Dobrusskin, and founding the
Cologne-based label Hey!blau Records. With millhope, Mühlhoff dives
into a world of dreamy, layered sounds. His debut album, Truth and
Dare, invites listeners on a hypnotic journey that pulses between
Chillwave, Ambient Rock, and Downbeat. Enveloping synths and
haunting guitar lines meet driving drums and deep bass, while
distorted field recordings add a layer of mystery and texture. Blending
music with visual elements, Truth and Dare becomes more than an
album—it’s a full sensory experience, radiating a sense of hope and
beauty that’s both calming and thought-provoking. millhope isn’t just
about sound; it’s about the kind of art that’s felt as much as it’s heard.
MALIKI WORLD ORCHESTRA
Prima die tornare a casa
Release: 20th September 2024
(Hey!Acoustics/Hey!blau)
„We believe in diversity; we celebrate it through authenticity.“
This is the motto of the Malikì World Orchestra, the newcomer band of
the year, which is now bringing its ‘multicoloured grooves’ to the world.
Only recently formed, the band has already toured throughout Europe.
‘Prima di tornare a casa’ is the result of several musical souls who have
decided to express the essence of their lived experiences, loves and
joys through the language of music. This harmonious blend brings the
songs to life by colouring them with different moods, languages and
musical styles. The result is a colourful mix of Afro & Latin rhythms,
Balkan beats & gypsy jazz. They sing in Italian, Spanish, English and
Greek. Powerful, sweet and dreamy.
Cultural diversity - this key concept characterises the eight-piece,
diverse band. It is about respect, charity and reflection. Live and on
record - impressive!
