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.

Bossman (Belgium Born, Sydney Based) has been honing his craft in the underground techno and melodic techno scene for over 15 years. Now, he’s launching a bold social experiment on a brand-new SoundCloud channel to see just how quickly it can get signed and grow, whilst attracting the biggest brands in the business.




By dropping fresh, unsigned Techno tracks and pushing raw, powerful productions, we’ll test the industry’s pulse - and your enthusiasm - to help propel this Artist to the next level. Tune in, share your feedback, and be part of the journey as Bossman shapes the future of techno. #TECHNO #SOCIALEXPERIMENT #MELODIC

From the very first beat, music has been more than a passion—it's been a way of life. I began DJing at the age of 18, spinning trance records at Le Contre Temps bar in Pau, France. What started as a local gig quickly evolved into something much greater. I became a resident at the iconic BPM Club and launched my own radio show on Paris One, where I curated and hosted a wide range of talent.
My sets and shows featured not only the local heroes of the Zona Norte scene, but also international heavyweights such as Cor Fijnman (Black Hole Recordings), Sander Van Doorn, Mark Norman, Marco V, Frank Traxx, and Mauro Picotto. A close friendship with Julius MC led to memorable performances alongside Brian Cross (Armada Ibiza) and club gigs throughout Spain and the UK.
Over time, my style evolved from euphoric trance to deeper, more progressive sounds, heavily inspired by the legendary John Digweed and Sasha. I had the chance to meet and play alongside them at Watersplash in Jersey—an unforgettable milestone.
As BPM Club transitioned into Bindy Club, my love for German electronic music found its stage. Fluent in German, I became a regular guest whenever Berlin’s underground legends came to town, thanks to Théo (official booker for Oscar Mulero). I shared lineups with artists like Sascha Funke (Kompakt, creator of Mango), Kiki (BPitch Control), Karotte, Michael Mayer, and many more. From 2010 to 2013, under the guidance of BPM Club’s Richard Fernandez, I became a key Itzela Resident DJ, performing every weekend for three years. My sets moved crowds of hundreds weekly—and sometimes thousands at regional festivals—cementing my role in the vibrant history of the Zona Norte scene.
In collaboration with Le Café du Parc (Matthieu from Le Pingouin Alternatif), I played for Kitsuné Club Nights and numerous open-air Fête de la Musique events, performing in front of hundreds. It was there I met Bruno (Xinobi), a favorite of mine, André Dalcan & Ludmila (Onirism) and Joachim Pastor, with whom I’ve stayed in touch since.
Though I never pursued music as a full-time profession, the passion never faded. My last live set was in 2014, opening for Sascha Braemer at Le Petit Bain in Paris.
My personal life has always danced to an electronic rhythm. I met my wife—an electronic music lover and longtime fan of Pulp—at Badaboum during a set by Chloé and Jennifer Cardini. In 2017, we were regulars at Concrete and Innervisions nights, vibing to Seth Troxler, Âme, Dixon, Stephan Bodzin, and Papa Sven (Väth), whom we followed around the globe.
2018 was our electronic world tour—Jan Blomqvist in Madrid, Trentemøller in London—and I proposed in New York, in front of the legendary Laurent Garnier.
Today, I still mix weekly at home, breaking my Beatport budget and diving deep into every streaming platform. SoundCloud remains my networking playground. Whenever I visit Berlin from Poland (where my wife’s family lives), you’ll find me on the dancefloor at Ritter Butzke, and in the past, Watergate for their epic closing parties.
I love music. I love people. And while this isn’t about food—just like DJing—I put the same soul into cooking as I do into mixing. Both are about creating moments that connect us.

++ booking/contact: david@smileforawhile.de  ++ I am running the Labels "smile for a while", "All that jelly" and "Edits for the common man." I'm also doing some stuff under the "Cracked Actor" Moniker. I also ran "Disco Bizarre" until 2023.
I've been listening to electronic music since 1991, DJing for 24 years now...

Hello mobilee friends! Please submit your demos to demo@mobilee-records.de
Please make sure its not more than 5 tracks in total and consider wisely which selection presents your own sound signature and production level the best. Please include a few words about yourself including your social media links and full name and contact details. We are looking for new music that fits to the general label sound but not for music that sounds like music from already established artists on the label. Think outside the box and try to find new and own directions to increase the chance to get recognition.

mobilee records launched in 2005 and quickly established itself as one of the brightest new stars within Berlin’s glittering galaxy of electronic music labels, producers and DJs. Founded and owned by Anja Schneider and Ralf Kollmann, the label boasts a sound that is simultaneously familiar and innovative. Rooted in the classic structures of house and techno, mobilee has harnessed the triple threat approach: its records reference vintage dancefloor minimalism, engage with like-minded contemporaries, and suggest surprising new directions for familiar forms. 

mobilee celebrated its tenth year in 2015. The anniversary not only highlighted ten successful years of the label, but served as a testament to the vision, passion, and love of music that continues to drive the extended mobilee team in all that they do, and all that will come. 

With a focus on label showcases, such as the annual drawcard event at Barcelona’s Hotel Silken Diagonal during Sonar, mobilee is committed to developing its roster—the core of whom are booked and managed by the label itself. The famed Sonar rooftop parties that have featured all-star casts of mobilee artists and friends are just one example of the unique, forward-thinking philosophy of mobilee, and its attendant expansion as a music and entertainment enterprise.

Thaddeus X, a Dominican DJ and music producer, has spent over ten years deeply connected to the culture of the Dominican Republic, where he has honed his distinctive sound. His music combines elements from different times and genres, merging modern electronic rhythms with echoes of the past. Influenced by the European club scene of the early 2000s, his sets are charged with the raw energy of House and Techno, yet he reaches beyond to include touches of New Wave, EBM, and the soulful grooves of Leftfield disco. What sets him apart are the subtle hints of post-punk and psychedelia, which create unexpected moments on the dance floor.

Unconstrained by a single genre, Thaddeus X's records span house, techno, trance, and more. His true passion lies in experimentation. Through his side projects, Velvet Surf and The Selenite, he ventures into the fringes of mainstream club culture, investigating sounds that are often overlooked but remain compelling. His releases on labels such as Minds Alike, Mouse Music Black, Deeplomatic Recordings, and Aletheia Recordings reflect his ongoing journey—a quest for the next surprise, the next connection, and those unanticipated moments that make music come alive.

In his work, there is a relentless pursuit of something deeper a desire to bridge the familiar with the unknown, creating experiences that resonate beyond the usual confines of the club. Thaddeus X is not just producing tracks; he is crafting narratives without words, inviting listeners to join him on a path that is as much about feeling as it is about sound. His journey is one of exploration, both personal and artistic, drawing in those who are moved by the unique mix of influences he brings to his music.
