Salin Records

2018 saw the beginning of a special journey for Daria and Christophe Salin. Sharing a deep love for music and visual art, they decided to further devote themselves to their passions and subsequently founded the music label Salin Records. Every release, accompanied by the visual art of Daria Salin, is intended to take the listener on a journey through electronic music. 

Their story began with the release of Christophe Salin’s trilogy of EPs; ‘Sweet Memories’, ‘Here and Now’, and ‘Will You Be There’. Soon afterwards, other artists joined the couple’s journey: Sable Blanc, Michael Diamond, Flabaire, Iron Curtis, Tour-Maubourg, Saint-Paul, Gledd, Eddi Shkiper and Roger Gerressen. 

There is something which all the label’s releases have in common – whether it be in the form of a sonic journey through New York in Sable Blanc’s album ‘Homecoming’, or a cryptic poem written to accompany Michael Diamond’s ‘Silk Road EP’ – they each tell their own story. 

Whilst the Salin sound is known for its special positive mood, often inspired by jazz and disco, the couple recently founded the sub-label Salin Deep to focus on even deeper, rawer and more dub-influenced music. Following the release of his ‘Duophonie EP’ on Salin in 2020, the Parisian and label friend Tour-Maubourg teamed up with Christophe Salin to work on a collaborative EP which will be the inaugural release on the sub-label. 

There is much more to be said about past and future projects but ‘’Music speaks louder than words, and a picture says more than a thousand words’’. 

Christophe Salin

Ever since his first exposure to House music in the 90s, Salin has thrown himself into producing, DJing and all facets of hardware discovery. His initial work on white labels and edits blossomed into the formation of Salin Records, which he has used as an outlet for his recent creative expressions. His sound is firmly established in house traditions, with expert groove lines and melodic sequences being utilized to full effect, but it is his love of equipment which has continued to fuel his desire to explore his sound to the fullest. His tunes are fun, fresh and emotive, bringing together the very best of the genre, with his own personal twist on things riding front and centre throughout his enriching discography.
