Studio 4/4: Nicole Moudaber

Nigerian-born, London-based DJ/producer Nicole Moudaber has managed to maintain a busy international touring regimen playing big-room techno without stooping to cheesy selections. For that—and for running Mood Records (Carl Cox, Joel Mull, Pan-Pot, etc.)—she deserves your respect and sweat. Seattle DJ Succubass (aka Jessica Duran) keeps opening for touring acts and continually impresses the hell out of me with her deep techno selections that keep the mood subterranean and the beats percolating at just the right temperature. About time Succubass got her own damn headlining slot… DAVE SEGAL
