2026 - WEEK03

Stil vor Talent presents 'Maphupho', a special cross-continental collaboration by TOWNSHIP REBELLION and CIOZ, joined by South African vocal collective Onset Music Group and songwriter Zandimaz. Rooted in connection and movement, the track bridges electronic club culture with soulful African vocal traditions, creating a moment that feels both deeply human and primed for the dancefloor.

At the heart of 'Maphupho' are the unmistakable voices of Onset Music Group. When their acapella performance spread across social media, it didn’t take long for TOWNSHIP REBELLION and CIOZ to take notice. What started as a viral spark soon transformed into a fluid studio collaboration, where powerful vocals and electronic energy merge into togetherness.

Parisian producer Captain Mustache returns to Iptamenos Discos for a stellar intergalactic collaboration, joining forces with the elusive underground legend dynArec.This time, he takes us on a journey through time with his upcoming single ‘Cracks In The Glass’, accompanied by a remix from Berlin-based PRZ.

Captain Mustache has built a reputation for his genre-blending sound over the last years, and the new single is no exception. The release moves between dark disco, electroclash, and electro, following seamlessly from his recent single ‘Camera Lens With Vaseline’ in collaboration with Third Culture and Victoria Rawlins.

The track features a haunting vocal performance by french underground legend dynArec which is alienated by a vintage vocoder. The mysterious Vaporwave label founder who’s active since the 90s has been supported by the likes of Helena Hauff & Dave Clarke.

The EP also features a remix by PRZ, a Berlin-based DJ and producer known for his celestial melodies and dusky, energetic beats. His version takes the original into darker territory, layering high-hats, moody pads, and punchy basslines to build intensity. Futuristic synth lines add a contrasting lightness, turning the remix into a sublime, sci-fi-tinged journey.
