Nicole Moudaber ‘I’ve Been Waiting For You’ ft. MNENE

Nicole Moudaber’s debut to Arcane comes in the form of ‘I’ve Been Waiting For You’, a sultry vocal lead techno track with a slower tempo and a deliciously chunky bassline 

Nicole Moudaber – often referred to as one of the original rockstars of electronic music, has had a huge impact on the global dance music scene for decades. She has dedicated her life to music, and championing women in music, whilst building her own empire with her label MOOD Records, alongside its events and own radio show. She is no stranger to releasing timeless music, and year on year she endlessly manages to define her sound, creating massive releases that dominate the charts.

Her next release, is her debut on Eli Brown’s Arcane, and as an advocate for women in music, Nicole employs the noteworthy vocals from MNENE, who is one half of the UK duo House Of Molly. Celebrating hedonism, queerness and glamour, their alias was born after a trip to Ibiza together, have since released on Higher Ground for their first collab with Nicole on ‘Slap Back’, Three Six Zero and Nothing Else Matters.

“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” – adds Nicole. 

A crossover of Nicole Moudaber’s brand of murky, emotive techno with House of Molly vocalist MNENE’s commanding vocals makes ‘I’ve Been Waiting For You’ a different proposition from the duo’s first outing. Opening via a jittery, rumbling ensemble of percussion and oscillating low-end, the melody evolves ruggedly at each drop as the vocal elements become less authoritative the beat then firmly takes hold and rigorously cruises to a close.

The first of two singles due out on Arcane this year before the end of the summer. Nicole Moudaber’s ‘I’ve Been Waiting For You’ is out now on Eli Brown’s Arcane.
