Nicole Moudaber’s debut to Arcane comes in the form of ‘I’ve Been Waiting For You’, a vocal lead techno track with a slower tempo and a chunky bassline. Nicole has been part of the global dance music scene for decades and has dedicated her career to music whilst building her brand with her label MOOD Records, alongside its events and radio show.
This release marks her debut on Eli Brown’s label, and as an advocate for women in music, she features vocals from MNENE, one-half of the UK duo House Of Molly.
Celebrating hedonism, queerness and glamour, their alias was born after a trip to Ibiza together, and have since released on Higher Ground for their first collab with Nicole on ‘Slap Back’, Three Six Zero and Nothing Else Matters.
Nicole: “This is a special one for me. I played it as the outro during my visual show at Brooklyn Mirage: Ankh Unveiled last year, and it really slapped, so I decided to make it into a full track. The vocals are from MNENE, and they’re epic. I wanted to create some heavy, hard-hitting sounds that would really build this sense of magnificence.”
A crossover of Nicole’s brand of murky, emotive techno with MNENE’s vocals makes the track a different proposition from the duo’s first outing. Opening via a jittery, rumbling ensemble of percussion and oscillating low-end, the melody evolves at each drop as the vocal elements become less authoritative. The beat then takes hold and cruises to a close.
Nicole Moudaber ‘I’ve Been Waiting For You’ is out now on Arcane.
