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.

Captain Mustache - Monkey Brains feat. Ulysses I Exploited

OUT NOW: http://lnk.to/TERRPH109

Following recent appearances on Permanent Vacation, Mute and Correspondant, Terr makes a triumphant return to Phantasy with a deeply dreamy new single, ‘Wings of Time’. Marking Terr's third appearance on the label, and her first since 2019, 'Wings of Time' is complimented by a momentous remix from Tornado Wallace.

‘Wings Of Time’ serves to underscore Daniela Caldellas’ talents as both a producer and performer, a songwriter and a master of dancefloor atmosphere. Terr’s assured vocal performance once again takes front-and-centre, a warm beckoning light through a journey made of shimmering pads, wistful chords and defined by a powerful sense of groove. An instrumental edition further highlights the arrangement, which resolves with rare, cosmic catharsis.

Tornado Wallace appears to stretch the time Terr sings of on his elastic, tunnelling remix, grinding out every inch of tension and detail from the blueprint, expanding minds and widening eyes in the process. While Terr’s original will likely send dancers to the heavens, Wallace reverses the energy source for an unexpectedly bass-heavy interpretation that generates a different, earthier pleasure.

After the great impact of the recent anniversary compilation, Playground Records continues its march at a steady pace with 'A Cow Called Belle', the new reference by the Swedish duo Elfenberg.
Viktor and Henrik propose an EP full of reminiscences of 90s house and acid rave, combining mysterious jungle elements, an intensive groove and lysergic arrangements.

On the remixes side, the album has the enchanting hand of the sorcerer from Guadalajara Iñigo Vontier who leads the original version of the track that gives the EP its name into a total trance. And the Brooklyn legend Juan MacLean, former DFA founding member and current Correspondant ambassador, who reinterprets 'Ravers Association' with just the right touch to break any main stage.

“A Cow Called Belle'' is, bluntly, a varied, balanced and forceful album. A true toolbox for the DJ's pocket.

Tracklist:

1 - Elfenberg - A Cow Called Belle (Original Mix)
2 - Elfenberg - Habanero House (Original Mix)
3 - Elfenberg - Ravers Association (Original Mix)
4 - Elfenberg - A Cow Called Belle (Iñigo Vontier Remix)
5 - Elfenberg - Ravers Association (Juan MacLean Remix)

After an edit for @Ombrainternational in their lust & fury edits 1, Mufti (@muftimix) returns to Ombra International with a full-blown track "Control"  designed with few but robust elements. This multi-instrumentalist, producer, and DJ from Guadalajara, México has shown his musical background with a melody that turns into an anthem as the track proceeds to formulate its story that is driven by its simple but powerful bassline.
