Cactus Face is the sonic alter ego of Dresden-based Australian composer and multimedia artist Michael Mortlock. Blending downtempo beats, trip-hop rhythms, and cinematic textures, Cactus Face crafts immersive soundscapes that transport listeners to surreal, dreamlike realms.
Inspired by artists like Bonobo, Flying Lotus, and DJ Shadow, Mortlock’s compositions fuse analog warmth with digital experimentation, resulting in a unique auditory experience. His debut single, “Those Hot Summer Nights,” offers a sultry, nocturnal journey through a sweltering urban landscape, setting the tone for his evolving discography.
Released under his independent label, Succulent Music, Cactus Face’s tracks are meticulously produced by Mortlock and has expanded to include various collaborations with friends including Raindrop, Clemens Christian Poetzsch and Annie Chops. With a growing catalog of evocative pieces, Cactus Face invites you to explore a world where music and imagination intertwine.
His new single ‘Work In Progress’, co-written with Berlin-based Annie Chops, is out NOW!
Stay tuned for more succulent beats… and a debut Album later this year!
