CAPTAIN MUSTACHE DROPS HIS LUZ EP ON MOBILEE RECORDS

Following a series of standout singles, Captain Mustache finally unveils his new album Luz on the legendary mobilee. This genre-defying journey through light, darkness and electro nostalgia arrives on 12th September 2025 as a deeply personal yet collaborative statement from the French producer. 

stream/download: Captain Mustache 'LUZ'


Following acclaimed releases on Kompakt, Permanent Vacation and Bedrock, Luz marks a new chapter for Captain Mustache. Inspired by his love of the album format, he uses this long plane format to break away from the constraints of club functionality and embrace a freer creative spirit. As such, the record embraces retro-future electro, EBM, techno, wave and rap on a hugely textured album that’s just as at home on the dancefloor as it is in headphones. 

Luz means ‘light’ in Portuguese which reflects how this album explores both the light of day and the shadows of night. The 11-track record includes standout collaborations with friends and kindred spirits: Play Paul, Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel’s brother reappears after their hit 'Everything' on Kompakt on opener 'The Pathetic. It's a sleek, futuristic electro-techno sound with sultry indie vocals. Mel. E. Logan of Chicks on Speed returns on the moody 'Pen Weapon' following previous fan-favourites like 'Mentally Naked' and 'Good Weather Girl', and the powerhouse duo of Sian and Sacha Robotti aka Third Culture bring their rhythmic firepower on lead single 'Vertigo' which is an arp-driven electro workout. 

Solo cuts come with the chugging astral ascent of 'Dancing Like Muffins,' a real standout at the heart of the album. There is also Detroit electro jam 'Luz' and slinky rhythms and retro-future melodies of 'Black Light'. Alongside these are the starry melodies and sleek late night grooves of 'La Vertu' with Jean Brock and cosmic vibes of 'La Nuit' with techno icon POPOF. Both are tracks that previously lit up global DJ sets from the likes of Claptone, David Guetta and Paul van Dyk. Also featured is CS Rucker, an Albuquerque-based rapper who adds yet another unexpected texture to the backlit trap and broken beat fusion that is 'No Retreat' with its neon synths and smart bars. 

Rooted in 80s and 90s synth nostalgia but always pushing forward, Luz redefines electro through a modern, emotional lens.
