Captain Mustache is at the vanguard of Paris’ electro new school. Riding on a wave of incredible form, he counts to his name a collaboration with Daft Punk-affiliate Play Paul on KOMPAKT to his name, 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.

Classic drum sounds form the crux of ‘Monkey Brains’, a hypnotic tom rhythm throbbing away amidst punchy claps and crisp claps. A buzzing synth bores a tunnel through the centre of the groove as Ulysses’ twisted vocal stylings enter the fray and echoing stutters permeate the depths of the track. Subtle arpeggios add colour as bright lead blasts cut through the mix. Each element is carefully positioned and utilised efficiently, the track building slowly to a beautiful intensity before stripping right back down again. And so it goes back and forth, undulating between rapture and darkly-tinged introspection.

Previously enlisting the likes of Adamski, Dave Clarke, Paris The Black Fu, The Advent and Keith Tucker to provide vocals on his tracks, Captain Mustache finds perfect company in New York’s Ulysses. Part of Neurotic Drum Band with John Selway, he has previously released acclaimed output on Prins Thomas’ label Internasjonal. Bearfunk, Lasergun, Guidance Recordings and Throne Of Blood.

Berlin-based Ombra International love all things post-punk and Italo disco, and they continue to represent that fusion in style on their 21st release. First up HLM brings a heavy wash of synths to 'En Ecailles' before Tony Y Not get into a twanging new wave vibe on 'How About Lily'. Kimshies has a sleazier sound to offer up, while Rees pushes all manner of vintage arpeggios at the behest of 'Lucifer's Tango'. That leaves it to Endrik Schroeder to finish the set with the atmospheric 'Rainy Days', a perfect tribute to washed out 80s post-punk with a strong dose of disco pumping in its veins.

PREMIERE: Tony Y Not - How About Lily [Ombra International]

WRD 17 /  Mala Ika - Warum Nicht (Boys' Shorts Remix) [Weirdos Records]

Real disco fans will love the sample that found its way into the new disco/indie dance banger by DJ and producer Claus Casper. But that's not all there is to say about this track: Even after 30 years in the game, Claus Casper keeps crafting new versions from old songs or creating originals that won't just shake your mama's hips.

"Hip Shakin Mama" comes with a piano dub mix by everybody's all-time favourite Gerd Janson. You can imagine Janson letting loose on the piano when hearing this remix. This EP is fun, it's a hip shaker, and it's one you won't soon forget.

Gerd Janson is one of the most highly respected DJs in the world of house and techno. Quite often, “highly respected” goes hand-in-hand with “underrated”, but over the past few years, audiences around the world have also found out what insider types already knew: Janson is a DJ that reconfigures the classics you already knew in an unexpected way –and introduce you to new classics a few months (or years) before you’ll hear them played everywhere else.

The long anticipated collaboration between Mexico City-based Theus Mago & Berlin’s Curses is finally here, bringing their punk and psychedelic rock-infused dark club music to light. The two producers joined forces when shit hit the fan during the beginning of the pandemic, eager for a return to the clubs. ‘Antídoto’ EP is a cocktail of musical styles; nostalgic and futuristic, dubby and punky, noisy and moody. Get Lost. Get Found. What dimension did we just vortex into? What planet have we landed on? It Doesn’t matter, it's fuckn’ weird but you can’t stop dancing.

PREMIERE: Theus Mago & Curses - Dafne [Optimo Music]

We’ve all experienced this feeling of awakening after a party, with a foggy mind, a pasty mouth, and hardly any memory of what happened the night before. Sometimes you don’t even know what place you just woke up in. But one thing is for sure, you had a blast last night!
With “Penser Avec Ses Pieds”, Myrddin and Alassë put some words and melodies on this peculiar feeling of awakening. Sounding like an homage to the glorious days of Chagrin d’Amour, or some other ephemeral French new wave projects, this track takes us back to the mild days of the 80s. When you could just sing about dancing and cigarette smoking.
This one comes in 3 versions so that everyone can find his favourite one. The Italo vocal mix is carried by Alassë’s voice, almost in a spoken word way, recalling the mood of the classic 80s french hit “Chacun fait (c'qui lui plaît)”. The dark mix takes a more rock and cold wave turn but still tells the same story. And for those who don’t like vocals in their Italo, we got you covered with the instrumental mix!

INCOMING : Theodora - Twist In My Sobriety (David Shaw and The Beat Remix) #TheodoraProject

Release date : 2022-11-25

Buy : https://fanlink.to/TwistTheodora

French alt-pop talent Theodora is still riding high off the success of her Too Much For One Heart album from last year. It saw her distill her love of cold electronic sounds, r&b and contemporary hip hop with her knack for catchy pop hooks and warmly human lyrics. She has done the same on various EPs since debuting in 2016 and is known for telling evocative personal stories.

Theodora heard the original 'Twist In My Sobriety' on a cassette compiled by her aunt of her favourite songs from her teenage years. It struck a chord with her so she now revisits the melancholic hit with gusto, taking the delicate melody into danceable territory as she whispers the lyrics over a newly relentless beat. The tune has been mixed by Etienne Caylou and intertwines dance, new wave and techno in a style that is Theodora's own. Her voice is the centrepiece, arousing emotion and a furious desire to move. The tune comes with a video by SuperFeat, who has been a visual collaborator on all of Theodora's latest releases.

Giving Theodora's tune an even more club-like feel, British producer and musician David Shaw and the Beat adds his own remix. It is a pulsating dark disco cut with chugging drums and snappy hits. The arpeggiated synth keeps you locked while more dazzling cosmic chords bring colour next to Theodora's intimate and alluring vocal.

PREMIERE - Roe Deers feat. Aquarius Heaven - Walking Down The Streets (DC Salas Remix) (Good Skills)

Berlin Mixed House

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)
