It’s been a few years since Captain Mustache took a ride with Kompakt – 2021, to be exact, when he released the “Everything” single, and subsequently made an appearance on that year’s entry in the Total series. But this visionary French producer has been busy, indeed fiercely productive, ever since, appearing on Helena Hauff’s Return To Disorder and John Digweed’s Bedrock, collaborating with Dave Clarke, Popof, The Advent, Paris The Black Fu, Keith Tucker from AUX88... and two beautifully eloquent albums, Tourbillon Nocturne and Indigo Memories. But with The Super Album, Captain Mustache returns to Kompakt with his most sublime collection yet.

On The Super Album, the Captain soundtracks an imagined “whole day for party people.” He welcomes friends old and new on board: opening with the poetic club banger of “About Love”, with guest appearance from Speakwave (aka dynArec), The Super Album shifts gears into the lush, sunny “Shifting Basslines”, where Captain Mustache’s pulsing electro-disco is the perfect fit for a third collaboration with electroclash pioneers Chicks on Speed.

After the deep techno pulsations of “Laser Me” and the glitzy pop shine of “Gimme Ya Mustache”, more guests arrive: Arnaud Rebotini of Black Strobe on the slinky “I Love Watching U”, and then a spoken cameo from the truly legendary French disco diva Amanda Lear on “Mustache Of The Universe”, a glitzy glitterball of a song that’s shrouded in ghostly synths.

For the third installment in his remix series, soundcloud.com/subsetdubs cast his ears globally, enlisting the talents of soundcloud.com/davidharrow, soundcloud.com/robhenry, soundcloud.com/tormaindub, soundcloud.com/suddenreverb, and soundcloud.com/mcthfg, who reside respectively in America, England, Mexico, Germany, and South Korea.

The remixes are equally as wide-ranging, encompassing the full range of the bass music spectrum: Rob Bong's drum & bass take on Journey to Tayrona, Tor.Ma In Dub's psychedelic steppers version of Aximal, David Harrow's spaced-out trip down Whipbird Dub lane, mcthfg's downbeat groove of Advanced Fizziks, and Sudden Reverb's rolling dub of Dialectic, featuring additional live bass and guitar.

"I couldn't be happier with the latest edition to the series. It's great to hear where this amazing set of remixers have taken these tracks, with such a wide variety of sounds and approaches to my originals, exploring tangents I would never have thought to explore myself."
