Vertigo by Captain Mustache, Third Culture
Berlin’s ever-evolving mobilee welcomes Captain Mustache and Third Culture for a bold new collaboration, Vertigo. This second single comes from Captain Mustache's new album Luz, which is a collaborative affair that redefines electro with a fresh retro-future lens.
French producer Captain Mustache bridges electro, techno and wave influences with releases on Kompakt, Permanent Vacation and Bedrock. His new album is a deep dive into a wide array of influences from the 80s and 90s and finds him exploring new styles that work at home, away from the club, as well as on the dance floor. Play Paul and Albuquerque-based rapper CS Rucker both feature, as do his first two releases on Mobilee, La Vertu with Jean Brock and La Nuit with French techno legend POPOF.
Joining him on Vertigo is Beatport Indie chart toppers Third Culture, (aka Sian & Sacha Robotti), and their sounds stretch across global bass, techno, new wave, and minimal.
Vertigo is a taut, snappy ride. Fizzing synth lines coil around jerking, EBM-informed rhythms, while cosmic pads hover above the groove like distant satellites caught in orbit. It's urgent but playful and primed for peak-time damage.
Captain Mustache’s signature synth work and Third Culture’s rhythmic punch blend seamlessly here on a sound that's at once retro-futuristic but also unmistakably now.
