Gorgeous by Nicole Moudaber x Risa Taniguchi

"Gorgeous" is the newest single from Nicole Moudaber and Risa Taniguchi, joining forces for the first time to kickstart 2025 for the former's MOOD imprint. It follows Taniguchi's "Look At Hatred EP" on the label, which won support from artists like Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, Joseph Capriati, Truncate, and Lady Tazz.

Nicole Moudaber and Risa Taniguchi's "Gorgeous" features tight, pounding kickdrums perfectly mixed with rattling lasers above. A hypnotizing vocal sits somewhere between past and future as dystopian atmospherics echo through the warehouse. Acid bubbles to the surface, while snappy percussion keeps the rhythm speeding forward - this is another prime-time offering from the MOOD label.

At the forefront of the Japanese techno scene, the Tokyo-based Risa Taniguchi has had an incredible 2024. She became a core member of Chris Liebing's CLR via a series of releases and Nicole Moudaber's label later in the year. In her productions and mixes, she blends dark, lo-fi sound, distorted textures, and a slow-burning energy that always hits the mark.

Nicole Moudaber launched MOOD Records in 2013, accompanying her award-winning weekly InTheMood radio show for over a decade. MOOD has become a haven for top-end DJs and producers whilst also providing a home for emerging talent to flourish, championing artists such as Ida Engberg, Carlo Lio, Pig&Dan, Dense & Pika, Juliet Fox, and The Southern.
