Mood Records are proud to present this excellent 3 track EP from Nicolas Bougaïeff titled ‘Interview With The Dancer’.

After remixing Nicole Moudaber’s ‘Common Dreams’ for us a few months ago we couldn’t wait to get this talented producer back on the label.

Fresh from blowing our minds on Great Stuff, the unstoppable Jil Tanner touches down on MOOD for the first time with 'Ravenergy': a boost to the dancefloor senses we need but totally don't deserve…

Two tracks, two slinky, rolling hypnotic grooves: Jil's understated tech house elan is showcased beautifully as she takes us on two very different types of journey. 'Ravenergy' is all about the warm-up. That subtle, undulating vibe and how it opens out into a wider, warmer groove mid-way. Loaded with her purring spoken word that revels in that shared mindset we all have at those perfect moments of dancefloor abandonment, there's a slight trace of jazz in all aspects of the delivery here.

'Flames In Me' isn't quite so delicate about its message. Euphoric, emotion-led and laced with a lavish star-bound riff, this one smoulders with a synthy epicity that's ideal for show-stopping intros, tear-jerking outros or vibe-changing mid-set moments. Once again loaded with Jil's own vocals, these flames aren't set to go out any time soon. See you in the rave…

See it through… And through, and through again. MOOD's thorough taskmaster Nicole Moudaber takes us right to the very edge with the final part of her 'Seeing It Through' remix series.

Following the inaugural versions from Nicolas Bougaïeff, Magdalena and Marino Canal come two more exceptional refixes. First up, Jonas Kopp gets in the MOOD with a relentless pneumatic techno twist. Thundering with loose, rolling abandon, it's the juggernaut we've come to expect from the Barcelona-based craftsman.

Next up: Scuba returns to the label under his deeper, journeyman SCB guise. The perfect progressive foil to Kopp's unabashed mix, here Scuba takes Nicole's last single on much more of a dynamic trip, letting the original elements breathe and suck you deep inside the machine… Which is where you'll stay until the next dispatch as Nicole takes us beyond the edge with brand new material. See it through, see you soon.

Release number seventeen for MOOD and a label debut for precocious young Spaniard WADE. Relatively fresh on the scene the young producer has wasted little time in making an impact with releases for the likes of Suara, Inmotion and Moan. With an ever growing list of big name support and strong chart placings, the musical future is blindingly bright for WADE.&nbsp; 

That future starts right here with the release of the Check Point EP and a title track that thunders straight out of the blocks with its steamroller kick drum and mighty bass synth. WADE then strips things back, rolling out pulsing bass and percussive vibes on Dark Shadows before dropping more imperious drum work as he closes the EP with Sunday In The Sky.

Wade - Sunday in the Sky (Original Mix)

PAWSA - 168 (Original Mix)

I’ve had so much love from everyone this year so it’s time to give something back. I know how much my fans love my music, so I’ve decided to giveaway one of my tracks. I’ve never done this before as my music is very, very precious and normally I don’t like to share free music but I’ve had so much love from my fans and this is the least I can do for those who appreciate my work - Nicole

MOOD now fully established, ‘More Ways Than One’ has the honour of closing the show… And it does so with industrial strength techno funk. Cement slab kicks persist while a wood block snare grapples with your soul, dragging you deeper and deeper into the dance. Undiluted techno arranged in such a way just the smallest element has the biggest effect: when those hi-hats enter on the final twist, it’s game over.



Nicole Moudaber - More Ways Than One (Original Mix)

Fresh from their huge remix of Florian Kruse &amp; Hendrik Burkhard on Noir Music, Pleasurekraft steam into 2016 with a huge two-track debut on Nicole Moudaber&#8217;s MOOD. 
With MOOD releases featuring heavily in the US/Swedish duo&#8217;s sets and Pleasurekraft bombs ignited by Nicole most weekends, it was only a matter of time before a release of this magnitude hit us&#8230; And it&#8217;s a match made in rolling techno heaven. 
&#8216;Defiler&#8217; is wonderfully wrong from the off; even the title suggests the sleaziest, slinkiest, sweatiest late night sessions. By the time the vocal sample murmurs its intent over a slippery, spacious, star-gazing bassline, we&#8217;re locked. Cue tight textures of percussion - rollers and shakers a go-go - it&#8217;s a heads down hypnosis session until sun-up with all the right dynamic elements to keep us twisting. 
&#8216;There Is No Safe Word&#8217; takes us deeper into Pleasurekraft&#8217;s devilish playground. A thunderous, unrelenting drum arrangement takes the lead here with demonic down-pitched vocal textures and vortex shredding swoops and FX adding colour, character and suspense before a precision build-up proceeds to tear a new hole in the spacetime continuum. Safe words? Where we&#8217;re going we don&#8217;t need safe words&#8230; 
Just weeks into 2016 and already MOOD and Pleasurekraft have delivered something to the last the whole year through. Sleeping on this is impossible.

Pleasurekraft - There Is No Safe Word (Original Mix)

After the release of their collaborative &#8216;BREED&#8217; EP at the end of last summer, Nicole Moudaber and Skin have unveiled the highly anticipated remix package featuring a long list of respected producers. Carl Craig, Fur Coat, Jamie Jones, Jerome Sydenham, Paco Osuna, Pan-Pot and Scuba are just some of the names which have turned their hand to the project. Originally born out of Nicole and Skin ofSkunk Anansie&#8217;s desire to fuse their rock and techno backgrounds, this is a true for a collaboration project with a difference. 
 
First, techno legend and remix master Carl Craig provides the only remix of &#8220;Someone Like You&#8221; featured in the EP. A powerful kick drum alongside the original chords take center stage, whilst Skin&#8217;s vocals come to the forefront in a series of tension-filled breakdowns. The EP includes two remixes of &#8220;Don&#8217;t Talk To Me I&#8217;m Dancin&#8217;.&#8221; Jamie Jones&#8217; take involves a thudding, heavy bassline, including the Zebra Katzvocals sampled over the top, whilst Jerome Sydenham takes the track into faster, heavier territory. 
 
Paco Osuna&#8217;s jacking, percussion-filled remix of &#8220;You Like This&#8221; is currently one of Nicole&#8217;s favorite tracks to play out - featuring a surprise buzz-saw synth drop mid way through, it&#8217;s easy to visualize the effect this would have on a dancefloor. In his remix of the same track, Berliner Hector keeps the strolling rhythm of the original, adding sub bass and synth touches before bringing the vocals in more than halfway through. MJ Hall, Nicki Minaj&#8217;s producer - uses the original as a hip-hop sample, with rapper Luz Wang featured on the track. 
 
Pan-Pot takes on &#8220;These Walls Are Made Of Water&#8221;, adding the duo&#8217;s characteristically stomping touch as well as dramatic new synth melodies. This remix is another Nicole favorite, often featured in her sets and her In the MOOD radio shows. French emotive techno specialist Paul Ritch turns in an atmospheric, driving remix for this track as well. 
 
Lastly we see remixes for the most conventionally &#8220;techno&#8221; track of the original EP. &#8220;Organic Love&#8221; is treated to a melodic yet industrial remix by Scuba, whilst Fur Coat remixes the track into a more dark and dramatic affair. 
 
&#8216;BREED The RMXS&#8217; EP is the latest incarnation of Nicole and Skin&#8217;s collaboration since the original project&#8217;s release in September last year. The pair have since been sharing the stage with each other at high-profile slots such as Space Ibiza and Coachella. Furthermore, the original EP was submitted and accepted into the Grammys for consideration - the remixes ensure that there now is a version of each track to fit into any set.

Nicole Moudaber & Skin - You Like This (Paco Osuna Remix)

Stephan Hinz may be making his debut on Nicole Moudaber’s imprint but he’s by no means a debutant in the game. With a body of work dating back to the late 2000s featuring labels such as Watergate, Intec, Second State, Drumcode and more, it was only a matter of time before his dancefloor-tailored, mix-optimised dynamics found themselves on MOOD.

Armed with a restrained sense of funk and space, Hinz’s strong groove craft is established across three very distinct arrangements. We ignite with ‘Outreach’, a track that builds drama with relentless drums before being stripped right back for a humanised loop to flicker and falter through the rising drama. Heightened by every
strike of the succinct two-note riff, it’s guaranteed to leave the floor putty in your hands before the main breakdown.

We stride forward into the techno unknown with ‘Phantom Move’ where an ominous analogue texture takes the lead with the persistence of a foundation electro cut. Raising in velocity and sheer breadth, it teases with a bigger riff potential on every fill. Powered by a thunderdome drum set, peppered with dubby overlays, Hinz is on a real trip… And everyone is invited.

Finally we hit ‘Resonant States’. Here we find Stephan somewhere deep in warehouse mode with a dynamic that’s fat enough to justify clinical classification and a loop-driven groove that’s persistent enough to warrant an injunction. Infectious to the core and coded with the same ingredients from the sonic spice rack shared by
Berlin and Detroit, it’s a climactic closure to a pivotal chapter from Hinz. With sounds as strong as these we suspect MOOD will happily welcome him again in the near future…

Stephan Hinz - Phantom Move - Preview Snippet

Florida 135 Resident, Mixmag one-to-watch this month and all-round man of the moment Andres Campo continues to smash his name all over 2017… This time with his debut release on Nicole Moudaber’s mighty MOOD – ‘Blind Call’. 

The only cold caller you’d ever really want to receive, Campo dials deep into our personals with a tightly poised groove. Weighted with his resounding rounded warm kicks and sparkling percussion, we’re soon swept away into another world as the sombre vocal textures and smouldering keys ripple, reflect and gradually envelop us in a way that complements all techno and house styles. Restrained, subtle and timeless – it’s one of Andres’ moodiest compositions to date.

Remix-wise MOOD welcome the legendary Pig & Dan on board for an equally exceptional version. Retaining the restraint but refocusing the momentum through an acid arpeggio, added layers of texture and a rolling techno dynamic, Pig & Dan’s signature controlled heaviness and latent funk is coded deep into every element.

One deeply atmospheric original, one killer remix - two remarkable moments for your sets this season. MOOD are kicking off the summer in style right here. Call us!

Now this is how you celebrate your label's 50th release! To celebrate MOOD's half century of dispatches since launching almost five years ago, Nicole Moudaber has revisited her monolithic mind-melt with the don of all dons, Carl Cox. An unabashed dark drama workout originally released in 2014, the cheekily-titled 'See You Next Tuesday' is considered a classic by many and still elevates floors to insane highs to this day. As will these remixes…

Commissioned to highlight the label's milestone release, MOOD have pulled out every single stop possible with some of the most exciting and innovative names of all time and every shade of the techno palette is splashed across this epic eight track trove. The one and only Danny Tenaglia takes us back to Twilo with his hip-swinging bassline and hypnotic prowess; the unstoppable tech house duo Solardo get twisted with just the right levels of jack attack; Truncate fixes our focus on the visceral physical techno energy; Trunkline get carnal with a tribal rawness; Black Asteroid super-charge the groove with a palpable electric sizzle; Raxon flips the groove into a driven, warm techno roller that doesn't quit from here till next Tuesday.

Complete with both original versions, this eight-track odyssey between two kindred spirits doesn't just celebrate MOOD's 50th release but revels in everything that's exciting and thriving about techno past, present and future. Here's to the next 50 MOOD dispatches!

Celebrating the milestone of 50 releases on MOOD Records, label boss Nicole Moudaber has put together this special mix from the MOOD catalogue alongside releasing a remix pack for her collaboration with Carl Cox.

'See You Next Tuesday', the collaboration from Moudaber and Cox originally released in 2014, will now be given new life in the form of remixes by Danny Tenaglia, Solardo, Truncate, Black Asteroid, Raxon and Trunkline. As one of the most popular releases on MOOD, it's an ideal time to reimagine the material.

Following the 'See You Next Tuesday' remixes, 'Mood50: The Best of Mood' will be released with 17 tracks mixed and compiled by Moudaber herself. The compilation features label favorites Pan-Pot, Victor Calderone, Scuba, Gregor Tresher and more.

Moudaber expressed her thoughts on having her esteemed label reach the 50 release milestone in just five years:

"It's been a labor of love and looking back at our 50 releases I feel an immense amount of pride and joy that all the releases can stand the test of time. It's a great platform and creative outlet for me -- if the music is good, then it needs to be heard. If I'm playing it during my sets or on my radio show, then I would release it. I'm excited to share what we have in store from both industry veterans and undiscovered new talent making an impact on the dancefloor where it counts."

Following their epic 50th release – a supersized remix bundle, repurposing label boss Nicole Moudaber and Carl Cox’s ‘See You Next Tuesday’ from the likes of Danny Tenaglia, Solardo and many more – MOOD return with a sterling technoid schooling from a modern day French master.

With over a decade of releases to his name, Parisian Popof is no stranger to the dark art of the dancefloor. Here he makes his MOOD debut with three timeless constructions; ‘Confusion’ takes the lead with a deep pneumatic driving groove, nerve-tingling acid bubbles and bass cannon blasts that sweep you off your feet. It’s backed by ‘Alone In The Dark’ a warped and wonderful weave of palpitating textures and a stripped back hook that writhes with a minimal charm that glistens in the shadows.

Finally we’re bid au revoir with a slinkier side to his sonic spirit as ‘Twilight’ takes a bumping, rolling house groove and switches up into an intense acid jam that rises and rises with unabashed abandon. Thank you Popof…. Confusion has never felt so crystal clear.

MOOD051 1. POPOF - Confusion

After kicking things off with Gregor Tresher and the first edition of the Moodcast we are very happy to present the second instalment with a fantastic mix from Popof.

This follows on nicely from his recent MOOD Records release, which is available here on Beatport https://www.beatport.com/release/confusion-ep/2203477

Bonjour, Hola, Zdravstvuyte. Nǐn hǎo, Salve, Guten Tag, Konnichiwa… Wherever you 'Hale' from, this outstanding slice of techno from Japanese kindred spirits Sudo and Hito is something you're going to want to say hello to.

Sudo's return to Nicole Moudaber's MOOD since last summer's thumping 'Abstract' EP, 'Hale' sees him rolling in esteemed company as good friend and Richie Hawtin's Enter resident and MoodRAW regular, Hito, joins the fray. And what a fray it is… Tailored for the silly season ahead, 'Hale' is a super-charged roller laced with a rainbow of salutations and powerful harmonics that loop and twist in a similar immersive and addictive fashion to Underworld's gamechanging anthem 'Rez'. The producer and DJ brought together both of their creative talents and 'Hale' features the voices of various friends from all over the world celebrating the Japanese spirit for global diversity.

Remix-wise we remain in the land of the rising sun as Japanese techno OG Ken Ishii lays down two superb versions; one that makes amazing creative use of the global 'hello' montage in a real fun and funky way, and one that strips things back to the bare rhythmic bone. Finally we head to Montreal as Johnny Trika follows up his recent appearance on Hito's 'Deeperfect' collection with a much darker, pranged out twist where the bassline spirals into the ground and the vocal textures aren't all that they seem.

One hypercharged original, three precision remixes; MOOD, Sudo and Hito are getting us in the right mindset for another insane summer right here. Say hello.

Batten down the hatches: MOOD deliver the debut collaboration from two exceptional rising French techno acts - Camille Luciani & duo In Anima - and the whole EP pays homage to mother nature's most formidable forces.

'Maelstrom' takes the lead. Every bit the sonic whirlpool its name suggests, it sucks you right into its vortex with its rising arpeggios, vast sense of scale and momentum and crisp, breath-taking production. 'Huracan' maintains the natural drama. Like any storm it whips up subtly before cloaking you in heavy gusts as gale force organs and pads blast your senses and a rolling beat shifts anything that's not tied down.

Black Peters brings this perfect storm to end with his remix of 'Maelstrom'. Extending the track by two minutes and rearranging the dynamic, the whirlpool becomes inversed. Rather than sucking you right in, it hurls you right out. Ready to start all over again. Bon voyage.

Following his massive 'Magnetik' EP on Diynamic earlier this year, Italian polymath Malandra Jr makes his debut on Nicole Moudaber's Mood with two more outstanding pieces of melodic dancefloor noir.

Cathedral-like in their structure and dramatic in their goosebumping aesthetic, both tracks take a left turn from his previous release as we hear a heavier techno element in the Italian artist's driving narratives. Two tunes that truly capture the imagination and a wry slice of dancefloor mischief, 'Detuned' is an outer planetary leap with its psychedelic synth spirals, pulsating bassline and sense of pure fantasy that whips up and up and up in intensity with every twist, turn and build-up.

'Gestures' follows suit with similar motifs but a little more introspection and restraint. The bassline struts rather than charges, the lavish synths tell more of a mournful tale that opens out into a fully blown novel comprising steel strings and melting brass before the subtle pianos hit with the bassline like thunder.

Two more epic slabs of timeless electronic music that will whip your whole crowd away to universes they didn't know existed. It's time to turn on, detune in and drop out… Malandra Jr can do no wrong right now.

We're now chest deep into 2019. We're still moving. We're still pushing. We're still seeing things through… And right now we're doing it to the sound of three remarkable remixes.

Taking off where Nicole left us with her EP early this year, this is the first of two remix packages of the MOOD boss's 'Seeing It Through' release and, trust us; not one single stone has been left unturned by the remixers. Nicolas Bougaïeff takes the lead with his outlandish take on 'Common Dreams'. One of those rare re-rubs that takes the original to various new places; expect some impeccable switches and tempo turbulence along the way!

'The Sun At Midnight' receives its first of two reworks from the always on point Magdalena. Percolating with emotion, her melodic refresh delivers both power and poise in equal measure. And it's followed by a beautiful salute from one of the label's most consistent and much-loved regulars Marino Canal. Gently twisting the drums in a more tribal direction while preserving those soul-stirring pianos, it's another on-point twist to end this stunning volume. Stay tuned for more… Including even more new original material from Nicole later this year. We ain't through with this yet!

Pitched down a little tempo-wise, but still packing all the right punches – that addictive vocal and the wild relentless build up that's been driving crowds crazy this year – Nicole gives 'Dirty Rocking Bassline' the maximum boost it deserves, ensuring it continues moves our waistlines well into the new decade Power to see guaranteed, this is massive.
