Speaking to the heart of every ’80s and ’90s kid, artist Cool Customer drops his long-awaited “Inspector Gadget Flip!” Officially live Wednesday, February 12th, fans have been eagerly awaiting this single’s release. Teasing us at the end of his Customer Service mix Vol. 1, Cool Customer has been pushing the boundaries of bass music with his unique sound and artistry.
Kicking off his spring tour next month, Cool Customer is rising through the ranks of bass music at sonic speed. Supporting the likes of Zeds Dead, Tape B, and Jade Cicada, the Customer Service man has been on everyone’s radar. Debuting at Secret Dreams Festival in 2022, 25-year-old William Alloca is making a name for himself in the underground bass scene.
If you’ve never had the pleasure of listening to his Customer Service Mixes, you should definitely take a look. He takes listeners on a journey with a theatrical style of mixing, opening each mix with that ever-annoying telemarketer putting you on hold for an allotted amount of time. But his mixes are anything but annoying; gladly keeping the phone to your ear, the wonky rhythms of his style easily groove you through a 15-20 minute wait time, making you beg to stay on the line for more!
Run the Track
Counting the days for this ID to finally drop as a single, the infamous Inspector Gadget Flip does not disappoint! Opening with the notorious “doota doota doot… doota doota doot… doota doota dot… doota doota don don…” the beginning of the track slowly builds as Inspector Gadget is delicately whispered eerily in the background. Almost around the first minute mark is when things start to get a little weird, and Cool Customer’s signature style radiates through in supreme wonkiness. Taking the listener on a nostalgic, spacey journey through one of Nickelodeon’s premier Saturday morning cartoons, Cool Customer’s bouncy bass lines easily become the anthem of this spring’s tour season.
