CAPTAIN MUSTACHE RELEASES

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 and remixed 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.
In steps Captain Mustache with some final boss energy.

Diavola flexes this further as low-mid tones warble in lock step with strapping drums and an earworm synth line. The energy stays right up at a rolling boil as riffs peak and trough, quickly shunting a tense DJ tool through it's chapters.

WL//WH Premiere: VALANAÏS X BlindÇhild "Appeal" taken from VALANAÏS' upcoming digital EP "Réminiscence," scheduled for release on November 29, 2024, via Silent Ground's Bandcamp.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The dramatic visceral narrative of VALANAÏS meets with the EBM/Industrial-charged dark electronic project, influenced by Darkwave and Post-Punk, from Karim Bornaz (aka Nasty Habits), aka BlindÇhild. 
"Appeal” is an autobiographical track that recounts the harrowing story of my (VALANAÏS’) grandparents during the bombings of Berlin in 1945 wherein, following an evacuation to the countryside, Grandmother gave birth to Father whilst Grandfather was a prisoner of war. Analogies are drawn between the smoke and the atmosphere of Berlin’s destruction and the lights in the misty night of the Berlin countryside.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Paris-based DIY label Silent Ground keeps on delving into equally intoxicating and disturbing obscure electronic soundscapes, strained by Darkwave, EBM, Industrial, and Post-punk inflections, through the new collaborative 5-track digital EP "Réminiscence," by French polymath artist, spoken word vocalist and lyricist Valérie Hendrich aka VALANAÏS.

Captain Mustache & Mel E. Logan & Drop Empowering New Anthem "Pen Weapon"
Following their previous collaborations ("Mentally Naked" and "Good Weather Girl"), Mel E. Logan (formerly of electro-pioneers Chicks on Speed) and Captain Mustache reunite for their latest sonic gem—"Pen Weapon."
A happy, melancholic tinged celebration of artistic empowerment, the track champions the unifying force of language and creativity—proving that words and music can forge bonds stronger than the weapons industry and the oppressive systems running rampant today.
With lyrics like “Hold me friends, I got your back / A curtain falls, take a look—it hung from a tiny hook,” the song reminds us that even seemingly unshakable structures can be toppled
departure from CoS:
Mel E. Logan steps boldly into her solo era, teaming up once more with Captain Mustache for a track that’s as uplifting as it is rebellious.
"Pen Weapon"—out now—is a call to arms (or rather, pens!) for unity, resistance, and the transformative power of art.

Captain Mustache & Play Paul "The Pathetic“
The Pathetic

Captain Mustache is back with the third release on Mobilee from his Luz album, this time with Play Paul, the brother of Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo collaborating on one of the tracks, “The Pathetic”.

French producer Captain Mustache bridges electro, techno and wave influences. He has put out music on Permanent Vacation and Bedrock, while his last outing on Kompakt 'Everything' marked his biggest tune to date with top-tier DJ support and more than 300K plays. His upcoming album Luz is a deep dive into a wide array of influences from the 80s and 90s and finds him exploring new styles that work at home, away from the club, as well as on the dance floor.

The Pathetic is at the heart of the album and is a sleek, futuristic electro-techno sound with sultry indie vocals. Bright arps flash across the face of the tune as the drums surge on and the moody bass adds great weight.

Dancing Like Muffins keeps the pressure on with bright synth lines jangling above the well swung groove and some lush claps. Sparkling arps explode to bring more light and lift up to what is a majestic cosmic odyssey. Add in some vocoder vocals that bring a melancholic edge and you have a transcendent dance floor gem. 

These are two more irresistible tastes of Captain Mustache and his superb new album Luz. 

I WANNA FEEL THE MAGIC
OF SOMEONE CHARISMATIC
I WISH I WERE MAGNETIC
A LITTLE LESS PATHETIC

I WANNA KNOW SOME GLORY
AND STOP LOOKING SO SORRY
I WANNA LIVE A MORNING
WITHOUT FEARING A MOURNING

I’M LIVING AN ILLUSION
THAT LEADS ME TO CONFUSION
I’M LIVING THROUGH A PASSION
THAT TRIGGERS MY EMOTIONS

I WANNA TRUST SOMEBODY
WHO DOESNT WANT TO BREAK ME
I WANNA TRUST MY BODY
AND STOP LOOKING SO EDGY

I WANNA KNOW SOME GLORY
AND STOP LOOKING SO SORRY
I WANNA LIVE A MORNING
WITHOUT FEARING A MOURNING

I’M LIVING AN ILLUSION
THAT LEADS ME TO CONFUSION
I’M LIVING THROUHG A PASSION
THAT TRIGGERS MY EMOTIONS

I WANNA TRUST SOMEBODY
WHO DOESNT WANT TO BREAK ME
I WANNA TRUST MY BODY
AND STOP LOOKING SO EDGY

[RND.R027] 

Misery… 

Through emotion, energy is born. 
With force, the energy is filtered through sound. 
Distorted fragments with a desire to shift through space, frequencies that intertwine and become what is. 
A profound journey, capturing moments through sound. 
You can never re-capture a moment, a recording will always be different and the feeling will be changed or lost. 

In this EP, 4 originals tracks by Wvalaam Klous.


Written and produced by Wvalaam Klous. 
Mastered by Diapason Mastering.

Shir Khan started Exploited in 2007. Exploited Rec now plays host to some wide-ranging and innovative electronic talent - including Adana Twins, Claptone, Budakid, Joyce Muniz, James Curd, Shir Khan (to name a few) - and its artists have been receiving numerous supportive spins from the likes of Solomun, Pete Tong, Soul Clap, Wolf&Lamb, Azari&III, Jesse Rose, Axel Boman and A-Trak.
This is serious dance music at it's most cutting edge with all the juice to really get you going. It's totally contemporary, innovative and has a chunky dirty feel. "Exploited" take you on an invigorating roller coaster ride back to your youth when you first listened to dance music with all the thrills and spills you so enjoyed about clubbing. It's heavy, exciting and special.
'"Exploited Records" is a seamless melting pot of varied styles that simply can't fail to please even the most discerning ears. Highlights here are plentyful. Not to be missed at any cost.' (Clash)
'Musical hybrids are truly the flavour of today, but few have managed to capture the atmosphere of an unpredictable microcosm of a night out on a recordlabel - until now. Shir Khan's label "Exploited" bottles the zeitgeist's giddy thrills with plenty of style and substance. This is dance music hybridism in all its most glorious forms, and Shir Khan is an expert at making square pegs fit round holes.' (DJ-Mag)
'"Exploited Records" boss Shir Khan has been gaining a lot of acclaim recently, and deservedly so - as he has shown us the high quality, diversity and forward-thinking nature of his label. Engaging, riveting and diverse.' (Data Transmission)
