::Captain Mustache – Diavola::
Captain Mustache is at the vanguard of Paris’ electro new school. Riding on a wave of incredible form, he counts to his name an album on KOMPAKT, 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 and remixed 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. In steps Captain Mustache with some final boss energy.
Diavola flexes this further as low-mid tones warble in lock step with strapping drums and an earworm synth line. The energy stays right up at a rolling boil as riffs peak and trough, quickly shunting a tense DJ tool through it’s chapters.
