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.

Bryan Kessler has made a point of not toeing the line in terms of the sometimes mono-thematic world of electronic dance music. Hailing from Cologne, Kessler started his musical life as a lead singer in an indie band, before discovering the pleasures of the dancefoor for himself. Having released a number of superb tracks on Comeme, Numbers and Get Physical, he now drops a killer 5 tracker on hafendisko.
The new EP is also the fourth volume in the Sisters & Brothers series, curated by Sexy Lazer and Kasper Bjørke. ‘No Go-Go’ also has a grimey, rock swing to its electronics, with a swung, jagged bassline and crisp,  ring percussion. Kessler adds his unique vocals late in the track, heavily treated and moducalted for maximum effect.

Erol Alkan invites two much-loved talents work their own familiar magic on ‘Spectrum’. Mano Le Tough takes the track on a blissful trip through deep space, finding wormholes of sonic pleasure around an elastic bassline, waving bells and Moroder-esque synth. Finally, Istanbul's premier edit-master and renowned crate-digger Barış K takes the krautrock drums that drove Alkan's original track and engineers a dense, understated remix that utilises sounds inspired by the equally innovative heritage of Turkish rock and disco.

Brazilian-born, Berlin-based DJ-producer Terr makes her debut on Erol Alkan's Phantasy with a superb new single titled 'Tale of Devotion'. A wide-eyed exercise in pure synth-pop bliss that channels the spirit of Giorgio Moroder's early disco musings, the glitzy track sees Terr deliver a stupefying vocal performance which lays the foundation for a contagious arrangement of cosmic electronics.

Terr's 'Tale Of Devotion' - which comes paired with a ‘Discomiks’ and dub rework from Norwegian maestro Prins Thomas - drops via Phantasy on May 10.

Juan MacLean and Man Power debut as Juan Power for Life and Death

Life and Death continue to serve up brilliantly unpredictable releases with a new one that brings together American DFA stalwart Juan MacLean with the UK’s Me Me Me label head Man Power, plus an edit from the boss, DJ Tennis. 

Juan MacLean is a multi-faceted artist who has a history of everything from playing in post hardcore bands to producing some of DFA’s most celebrated releases. He does classy house bangers with synth pop and disco layers like no one else. Man Power, meanwhile, is someone who is fantastically eclectic in what he does on all fronts as a DJ, label boss and producer. He’s made corrugated acid, hands in the air house and machine disco and plenty in between on his own label, but also cult outlets like Correspondent and ESP Institute. The coming together of these two undoubted studio wizards, then, is a fascinating prospect. 

And so it proves right from the off: opener ‘Crescendo’ is a nine minute masterpiece with rickety house drums making you move while the shuffling percussion builds the pressure. Gorgeously warm chords eventually join the fray and have a blissful effect that sets you off dreaming and keeps you in a trance until the end. 

DJ Tennis himself then steps up with an edit of ‘Excuse Me Daddy’ that is deep and cavernous. Next to the suspensory pads is an intricate synth line that takes you in on yourself in perfectly melancholic ways. 

Closer ‘Praise The Toad’ then picks up the pace with more live sounding drums and a sparkling lead synth that rises and falls to cosmic effect. Drawn out over the full length of the track, and in amongst some chattery claps and smart effects, it makes for a journey to the stars that will cast a real spell on all who hear it. 

This is an innovative collaboration between two masters of their craft.

Tour dates
22nd June: Juan Power @ Topaz Deluxe, Mexico
26th July: Juan Power @ Elsewhere, NYC
