Captain Mustache delivers his ten-track album ‘Indigo Memories’, set for release on Bedrock this December.
With releases via KOMPAKT, My Favorite Robot and Helena Hauff’s Return To Disorder, Captain Mustache’s reputation as an artist and a producer of note continues to build. A lover of Detroit techno and Electroclash, his take on electronic music has welcomed a wealth of supporters ranging from Laurent Garnier and Dave Clarke to Jennifer Cardini and Louisahhh. His latest album, ‘Indigo Memories’, showcases this diversity in full, presenting a powerful and emotive trip through techno, electro and beyond to deliver an in-depth representation of his wide-reaching sound palette, set for release on John Digweed’s iconic Bedrock imprint.
“After years of work, I’m super happy to release a complete album on Bedrock. It’s the highest level of recognition for a techno producer, and I’m thankful to John Digweed for that. I’m glad and proud to present these ten special songs, which combine my influences between Detroit techno and electro music. Many were produced during the pandemic when I was feeling melancholic, thinking of the neon lights of the party and the colors of the night. Each track sounds like a tribute to nightlife and a love statement to dance music, with a romantic dimension and a call to dance. I’m honored to have worked on ‘Catch Me’ with Davina of the legendary ‘Don’t You Want It’
produced by Mad Mike, one of my all-time favourite songs. I also wanted to close the album with ‘Mentally Naked’ featuring Chicks on Speed, which was played by Andrew Weatherall during his last radio show, just before the beginning of party black-out. Now I’m pleased that these ‘Indigo Memories’ come with the return of the light.” - Captain Mustache.
Opening via a medley of brooding synths, vibrant leads and warping basslines across ‘Bleu Azur’, ‘title cut ‘Indigo Memories’ and ‘Paola’, the Frenchman quickly establishes his ability to fuse dark and light, playful and serious. Escalating leads throughout ‘Bleu Ciel’ add a sense of panic and unrest, while ‘Catch Me’ showcases a zipping electro production armed with tough metallic drums, softened by Davina’s captivating vocals. ‘Andromeda’ and ‘Ultra Neon’ shift towards resonant, melodic journeys, whilst the sleek ‘Midnight Man’ offers up visions of late-night drives through neon-lit landscapes. ‘Shapes & Oddity’ then interjects and interrupts the calm with a tough, dark trip, before closing via the unwinding, hypnotic wormhole of indie leaning closer ‘Mentally Naked’, featuring Chicks On Speed.

Two hot remixes here for James Curd’s collab with The Swiss’ Sidwho? from an all-star team breathing new life into the funky disco killer that dropped in the summer.

Dynamic Dutch duo Fouk go to town on their version, honing in on the arp from the original and pushing its camp Italo disco energy to the max. Their bouncing bassline stomps with attitude over swung percussion, with subtle Rhodes chords adding warmth as the lush choir of vocal harmonies descend. Taking all the swagger of the original and adding a little sunshine into the mix, they’ve done a stellar job.  "We had a blast working on the remix, the original is so much fun!” they beam. “At first we also had a change over to a more housey sound in the middle of the track. However as the arpeggiated lead from the original is super cool, we really wanted to give our remix a bit of an Italo disco feel. After adding the Italo bass we knew this had to be the direction for the whole track. The ‘80s synths, chords and solo added to the vibe!"

Parisian upstarts O.N.O. continue their excellent form on their remix which goes a little more for the jugular than the groovy Fouk mix. There’s a strong ‘80s house/boogie feel to their slinking groove, and the way they lace it with spacey arpeggios is quite scintillating. Dramatic use of the sassy vocal from the intro of the original sets up a high-impact drop, and shining with their usual sleek production values, this remix oozes fun and class.

Milio notches down the tempo, injecting the original with swathes of warm, analogue bass and glassy synths. Moving from the abrasive to the aqueous, the Dutchman delivers a flowing deep house rework that will be soundtracking warm ups and sun-ups for the rest of year.

Cada Un - Runaway (Johannes Albert Disco Mix)

Having galloped onto our dancefloors back in 2020 with his sure-shot ‘Lone Ranger’ EP, then followed up by ‘Meltin’’ our minds with his pure, high grade funk in ’21…. Renato Cohen returns to Pets Recordings with a fresh, high octane offering for the summer in his ’Benzine’ EP. 
The title track ignites the EP with its seismic bass and oscillating acid line. As the temperature rises, simmering nicely, Renato adds a hefty splash of cosmic seasoning and another twist of acid on ‘Frito’. 
Sufficiently toasted, we inhale the final Benzine fumes and embark on an hallucinogenic trip through cascading keys and echoing drums on closing track, ‘Wake Up’. 
More fuel to his musical fire, the Benzine EP completes a hot and spicy trio of Pets releases from the Brazilian maestro.

Budakid’s ‘Milestones’ gets the remix treatment from three very hot names, with very different results.

Korean hotshot Shubostar has featured on Resident Advisor’s mix series, played leading festivals like Burning Man and released on killer imprints like Robert Johnson, Permanent Vacation, Internasjnoal and her acclaimed Uju Records. Her colorful update on cosmic disco fits perfectly with the charms of Budakid’s style, with a bouncing off-beat bass line driving under heavily reverbed kicks and snares and a flurry of ascending arpeggios. The synths soar, the breakdown takes us into an epic space, and the remix develops beautifully over the course of its 8 minutes to keep you hooked throughout.

London duo Make A Dance are rapidly on the ascent, with a huge release on Classic Music Company and killer cuts on their M.A.D. Records imprint as well as sets at the likes of fabric and Club Silencio. Their rework goes deeper, building through gated snips of the vocal, pulsing pads, Latin snare patterns and subtle bleep riffs and delays to reach a heady, hypnotic place. The ethereal breakdown full of tripped out tape delays and great use of airy vocal harmonies are the icing on the cake, making their remix feel like the original as experienced in a joyous dream. Oh, and prolific guys that they are, they’ve also included a ‘Deep Acid’ mix which... I think you can figure it out?

Rising Dutch talent Milio (Atomnation and formerly one part of Tunnelvisions) rounds off the package by stripping things back to a deep, tripped-out pulse, modulating twanging acid belches in conversation with an off-beat bass bounce. The vocal is used in super-dreamy fashion—particularly in the breakdown—and slick production on that acid line and clever automation keeps it engaging despite this remix’s pared-back approach.
