Nicole Moudaber 'Techno Queen' To Hit Hub

When the legendary Carl Cox hand picks you to join him in Ibiza at his night at Space, you know things are going well in you career. Nicole Moudaber has been blessed with such attention as she has risen threw the ranks of the techno community.  In addition to performing with Cox, he also selected Nicole to release her inagural release for Intec Digital in 2011.

Back in September Nicole Moudaber traveled to Boston to play in Bijou's intimate night club.  Unfortunately we were unable to make the show but, we couldn't think of a better pairing for pounding techno beats then Bijou's tight, hard knocking sound system, other then Rise.

That being said, Nicole has been hard at work in the studio since her visit to Boston.  She will be kicking off the New Year by releasing two new tracks.

First up is the title track "Roar," on which Nicole’s signature hard-hitting drums remain constant and commanding throughout. On top of this Nicole gradually adds other elements, a shimmering melody, brooding synths and an echoing vocal. All these elements build the atmosphere and tension in the track to a boiling point about six minutes in, upon which it breaks back down into it’s percussive groove - definitely one for peak-time dancefloors.

Next up on a funkier techno tip is "Brooklyn Hangover." While the track is again centred on tightly-programmed tribal drums, the overall vibe is much more playful as melodic stabs are given a prominent position, resulting in an infectious and engrossing techno cut.

The ‘Roar EP’ once again demonstrates Nicole’s considerable talents and shows why she is considered one of the leading producers on the scene. It is sure to strengthen her already solid foundations for what is set to be a landmark year for a rising star.

The 'Roar' EP will be available January 28 on Intec Digital.

In addition to the release of the two tracks Nicole will be doing a tour that will feature a stop in Boston on January 25 (yay friday!) at Bijou!
