It’s been a few years since Captain Mustache took a ride with Kompakt – 2021, to be exact, when he released the “Everything” single, and subsequently made an appearance on that year’s entry in the Total series. But this visionary French producer has been busy, indeed fiercely productive, ever since, appearing on Helena Hauff’s Return To Disorder and John Digweed’s Bedrock, collaborating with Dave Clarke, Popof, The Advent, Paris The Black Fu, Keith Tucker from AUX88... and two beautifully eloquent albums, Tourbillon Nocturne and Indigo Memories. But with The Super Album, Captain Mustache returns to Kompakt with his most sublime collection yet.

On The Super Album, the Captain soundtracks an imagined “whole day for party people.” He welcomes friends old and new on board: opening with the poetic club banger of “About Love”, with guest appearance from Speakwave (aka dynArec), The Super Album shifts gears into the lush, sunny “Shifting Basslines”, where Captain Mustache’s pulsing electro-disco is the perfect fit for a third collaboration with electroclash pioneers Chicks on Speed.

After the deep techno pulsations of “Laser Me” and the glitzy pop shine of “Gimme Ya Mustache”, more guests arrive: Arnaud Rebotini of Black Strobe on the slinky “I Love Watching U”, and then a spoken cameo from the truly legendary French disco diva Amanda Lear on “Mustache Of The Universe”, a glitzy glitterball of a song that’s shrouded in ghostly synths.

'If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him. We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.” John F Kennedy no less; but a fitting mantra for these troubled times.

Selador continues to strain every sinew to play their part. This year, Selador have toasted ten rotations round the sun at parties in London, Berlin, Denver and Amsterdam… The label have birthed magnificent merch, special editions of ye old magic black plastic and musical firecrackers a-plenty…and of course atop the whole b’day cake, has been their Decade series, which throughout the last few months has commemorated this significant milestone.

A fitting finale to bring down the curtain on Selador's Decade Escapade, this UK-France-Portugal tag team sees boss man Steve Parry in tandem with label debutants Mario ‘n’ Mustache concocting a rare beauty. Lose yourself as its soul stirring keys and instantly memorable motifs ride serenely over an acidic soundscape.

The other exciting collaborations on Selador’s final instalment of their 10th Anniversary celebration EPs, Selador Decade EP5, comes from Timo Maas X Robert Babicz ‘Eine Reise Zu Zweit’, Bebetta x Smash TV 'Hold On’, and Charles Webster x Ursula Rucker ‘Begin Anew’. '

Premiere: Steve Parry, Mario Franca, Captain Mustache - Nuvem [Selador]

As its name suggests, "California Wang" is a joyful mix of cosmopolitan musical influences, ranging from surf music to traditional Asian melodies, including reggae and acid house.

Captain Mustache (Kompakt, Bedrock,...) delivers a hypotonic and captivating remix of the song. For its part, Vantage (Neoncity Records,...) offers a funky version in homage to the OSTs of 90s video games.

Hot on the heels of his recent “The Super Album”, our favorite seafarer is back with a delicious round of remixes. Frau Blau head honcho KADOSH takes “About Love feat Speakwave” to darker disco territories. Rome’s WHITESQUARE gives “Shifting Basslines feat Chicks on Speed” a powerful 90s progressive house inspired spin. Last but not least, the Las Vegas duo THIRD CULTURE (aka Sian & Sacha Robotti) are taking a swing at “I Love Watching You feat Arnaud Rebotini”, emphazising the noir EBM vibes of the original.

Captain Mustache is at the vanguard of Paris’ electro new school. Riding on a wave of incredible form, he counts to his name an album on KOMPAKT, a collab with Chicks On Speed on Permanent Vacation, an EP for Helena Hauff’s Return To Disorder label, an album on Bedrock and an outing on Les Yeux Orange with remixes from electro gods DMX Krew and Legowelt. Defining his sound as ‘romantic and burlesque’, he takes his cues from electroclash, ‘80s electro and synth pop and Detroit techno.
