Listen to Nicole Moudaber live in Bulgaria and enter to win a chance to see her live in Brooklyn
Adam Bayer's Drumcode live radioshow was taken over by Nicole Moudaber last week from Bulgaria. Spinning an hour of her sex-fueled bass lines on the coast of the Black Sea, the techno goddess entranced listeners and led them down a rabbit hole of gripping percussion and hollowed-out effect work. Setting the stage for Bayer to follow, Moudaber's Bulgarian opening set is a smooth and drum-laden drive into darkness. Primal and sensual with an industrial grit, Moudaber manages to pack emotion into a dreary techno backbone - a talent that places her at the top of her game as one of the genre's most forward thinking talents.

Nicole Moudaber kicks off her 2013 with yet another solid EP, this time as her second release on Carl Cox's rebirthed Intec Digital label (formerly Intec Records). In 2012, Moudaber released material on Drumcode, Leena Music, and Kling Klong, so it's no surprise to see her turn around and offer her techno talents to yet another quality label.
