It’s time, once again, to get into the MOOD. Our driver for the label’s latest shady soiree is the boss herself: Nicole Moudaber.

Currently cruising on the trip of her life (literally – she’s just passed her race driver test), Nicole is wrapping up 2015 at unfathomable speeds right now. Fresh from her legendary ‘Breed’ collaborations with Skin and remixing Pan Pot, Scuba and recently Black Asteroid all within the last three months, Nicole unleashes her first solo triple-tracker in a long time…

‘Silent Sigh’ commences the adventure with an unhurried build as each bar sees a new space age texture wrapping around her stoic kicks. Gradually the elements disappear until all you can see, feel and hear is black. Stark designs twist through the ether from left to right then boom: an even darker, sub-laden kick pressure ignites from nowhere. Trust us, this will do more than make your dancefloor sigh…

We proceed with intimacy as Nicole persuades us to ‘Move A Little Closer’. The beats underpin her whispers and do well to magnetise, but it’s the gradual ice blast pads that really allure. Building and building with ageless progression, the big pay-off comes with one of the most delicious, almost cosmic, breakdowns Nicole has ever crafted.

MOOD now fully established, ‘Own’ has the honour of closing the show. Relentless kicks and a scratchy snare paint the backdrop for bold splashes of colour as eastern vocals ghost through the spectrum weaving mystically around Nicole’s signature insistent percussive dynamics, escalating into shamanic oblivion. 
&nbsp; 
A MOODy way to say goodbye to 2015… And tease us for an even bigger 2016, Nicole is currently unstoppable.

Nicole Moudaber - Move a Little Closer (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.

Layton Giordani makes his Truesoul debut with a pumping, three track release. The high energy tracks showcase Layton’s youthful and fresh approach to production. ‘Unspoken’, holding a pounding kick drum and thumping techno sound, is the heavier of the three tracks whilst ‘Misunderstood’ and ‘Trusting You’ cut a lighter groove. The samples are uplifting, sounds imaginative and the percussion is tight - this EP is not to be missed.

MOOD welcomes Juvenal: a brand new project from long time label affiliate and great friend SKIN. 

Previously spotted with Nicole Moudaber on last summer&#8217;s &#8216;Breed&#8217; EP, and before that &#8216;Someone Like You&#8217;, for this release SKIN takes the reins with her debut sole production… And there&#8217;s nothing juvenile about it whatsoever. 

&#8216;Jungle&#8217; is tailor made for cavernous warehouses; the intro&#8217;s deep drones, bone shaking drums and sheet metal textures gradually build like a cinematic battle scene before the main groove kicks in from the left, sweeping the whole scene sideways. The down-pitched vocals rippling with a demonic edge and a psychedelic whirlwind on the second drop… This will blow minds when dropped at the right time. 

For an even darker, twisted trip into Juvenal&#8217;s mind, dig deeper for &#8216;Why Are You Laughing&#8217;. With a more gradual build and silk synth stabs wrapping themselves around the loose, dark-funk drums, it&#8217;s not until the echoes of chuckles start to curl around the edges that you get a sense of Juvenal&#8217;s barbed groovecraft. Slowly decaying into a paranoid pool of laughter, we&#8217;re whipped out of the sense-blurring confusion with the return of the restrained but heavyweight hook. 

Both laced with the bold, relentless house elements that really united house floors in the US and UK in the early 2000s, these truly are some killer dynamics from a musician who genuinely understands the magic and allure of deep, dark, carnal dance music. We have no doubt Juvenal will return to MOODy shores very very soon

Sinisa Tamamovic returns on his imprint with two techno groovy tunes. Addicted track is classic Sinisa's dark sound, already effecting many dancefloors and is already featured in Sharam's mix. Another track on the EP called Oscillator present something more loopy and groovy from Sinisa and is produced and created by analog gear. This year Sinisa Tamamovic started with releases on Dubfire's Sci+Tec, Sharam's Yoshitoshi Recordings and we are happy to have these two floor killers on board just after these massive releases.

Loco & Jam - The Warning (Original Mix) [Tronic]

A fresh face to emerge from the UK in recent years, Route 94 (birth name Rowan Jones) found himself being launched into the spotlight from the off when his debut track 'My Love' landed at number one in the UK singles chart back in 2014. For club focused music, this kind of exposure is rarely earned by emerging artists in such a short time frame and while it provided a huge platform to start out on his career,  Jones has opted to work backwards from commercial success down into the underground. His last, and second EP two years back, 'Misunderstood' dropped on Matt Tolfrey's off-centre house outlet Leftroom Records as a follow up to 'My Love' and was statement of intent of the direction he was moving into before he took time out from releasing his music to give him space to explore his growing hardware collection and sonic identity.

With his next Farringdon date slated for this Saturday night 11th June, we have been offered somewhat of a special privilege to break the producer's silence and share a selection of some of the productions that Jones has been working on during his transitional time in the studio these past couple of years, presenting a three track EP for download for free.
