Kompakt and Return to Disorder affiliate Captain Moustache makes a welcome return to the Exploited catalogue and invites you to join him on a clean, cosmic quest down the Autobahn soundtracked by his latest offering Ballerina. A misty Italo loop circulates, mobilised by a propulsive thud and a concise, crispy synth snare. Archetypal tones capture the spirit of German pioneers as lucent melodies are interlaced in a braid of gently rousing emotion that recalls classic Flügel. Drums keep things tightly pinned while rich pads pilot progress until the end of a beautifully executed exercise in the raw materials of Synth Pop and Italo Disco.

After two albums released on the legendary Kompakt and Mobilee labels, along with outstanding collaborations with Arnaud Rebotini and Dave Clarke, this accomplished producer now joins the Mélopée family. An arrival that feels only natural: its hard to imagine a better artist to embody and launch the labels new dual musical and visual identity. With his new single Colors, he unveils the CLAIR side of Mélopée — a finely crafted electro track driven by an obsessive melody that lingers in the mind and stirs the heart. A true reflection of his influences, blending Electro, EBM, and synth-pop, the track explores a rich emotional palette, showcasing the many colors that define his distinctive sonic universe.
