AMELIE LENS PRESENTS EXHALE
OCT 19, ZIGGO DOME
A true force to be reckoned with as a DJ and producer, Nicole Moudaber's rise through the ranks of the DJ elite has been swift, purposeful and striking. Propelled by her flawlessly executed, sleazy, edgy house and tough, soulful techno sounds, she now sits at the very forefront of today's exciting international EDM scene. She's spent weeks at the top of the Beatport Techno Chart with her remix of Carl Cox's 'Chemistry' on Intec, dropped killer tracks for labels including Drumcode, 8Sided Dice, Kling Klong and Waveform Recordings, while remixing the likes of Santos, Martin Eyer, Mauro Picotto, Fergie and Bart Skills. Pretty much a perfect artist career curve to date, and a downright fantastic achievement seeing as it all began relatively recently. Hitting New York after a youth spent in Africa and the Middle East, Nicole initially explored her passion for electronic music as a promoter, bringing the NYC style parties she loved to Beirut for the first time, then booking huge acts for her Soundworx nights at London's legendary Turnmills club and running Southeast Recordings. But it was the decision to dive in and start to DJ and make music herself that was prove the most important. Once she unleashed her creativity, everything simply went 'boom'. Carl Cox identified her as exactly the kind of fresh talent he wanted to have playing at his weekly nights at Space in Ibiza, where Nicole has now DJed regularly alongside him for three seasons. Requests for guest mixes on both Carl's and John Digweed's internationally syndicated radio shows followed, as did a prestigious mix for Adam Beyer's show where she was chosen to celebrate the epic '15 Years of Drumcode' release (which features a classic slice of Moudaber techno on its high caliber tracklist). Pete Tong named Nicole a rising star on BBC Radio 1's Essential Selection, while her music regularly picks up the support of DJ royalty like Richie Hawtin, Loco Dice and Danny Tenaglia, who was so impressed when he DJed with Nicole that the two of them have been working in the studio and threw the most talked about party of the summer together at Ibiza's exciting outdoor venue Ushuaia. With further residencies in Ibiza, dates worldwide from Brazil's Rock In Rio festival to headlining at Montreal's famous Stereo and two residencies in New York City for 2012 at Cielo and Pacha NYC, Nicole's reputation for groovy main room mastery has taken hold everywhere. Meanwhile plans for launching a label of her own – to be known as MOOD Records – plus plenty more exciting releases on labels including Anja Schneider's Leena Music imprint all ensure that amazing career curve points ever upwards. myspace.com/worldbeats Facebook.com/officialpage twitter.com/NicoleMoudaber soundcloud.com/nicolemoudaber
