Egg LDN is nearly in its 12th year; Nicole Moudaber has been one of the mainstays over recent times always energizing the North London outfit with her sultry sounds. Recently in the studio with Skin from Skun Anansie and performing an epic 10 hour set in New York whilst under the weather, we chat to the legendary spinner about her productions, her love for Egg LDN and her hugely anticipated events in Miami.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How are you, how has the year been so far, what has been good, what has been bad?<\/strong>
\nAll good thanks, except I had a bad flu recently, it was mega fierce. Had to do this intravenous shot in order to stand up for 10 hours and play at Output New York that night. I have to say it worked.<\/p>\n

Musically, what is turning you on right now, what is inspiring and influencing you?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m more into musical and melodic music right now for some reason, but also into very dark sounds of techno as well. I\u2019m ready for the studio again, I was away for a few weeks on a break in Bali, I\u2019m ready to lay it down again with music.<\/p>\n

You play at Egg London a lot – why do you like the club so much?<\/strong>
\nI love that club, the crowd is brilliant and most importantly the owner Laurence Malice and his team are fantastic, Laurence is a legend.<\/p>\n

How do crowds compare around the world? Do they react differently to different sounds or\u2026.?<\/strong>
\nTo some extent I thought they did, but I\u2019m realising the opposite right now. They all want to same when they specifically go to listen to one DJ perform, and that\u2019s a reflection of their own sound. It\u2019s best not to compromise.<\/p>\n

How did you hook up with Skin from Skunk Anansie? Whats it like working with her?<\/strong>
\nWe met a year and a half ago on a flight actually, we sat next to each other from Porto in Portugal all the way to London. We chatted non stop I remember clearly, we really clicked immediately. It was then I popped the question – “will you sing on one of my records\u201d, and she said \u201cyes\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tell us about your label, what the aim is, who and what you look to release etc?<\/strong>
\nMy collaboration with Skin is coming out on MOOD. We finished the album and it\u2019s called BREED. I\u2019m currently shooting a video with her in Berlin for the first single called ‘Someone Like You’, this project is very dear to me, I\u2019ve been working on it for a year now, it\u2019s very challenging to work with such an established artist on the one hand, and on the other it was tough for me to make all the vocals work on techno. It turned out to be something completely different, not all tracks are aimed at the floor.<\/p>\n

You run your own events in Miami – why is that? How do you like playing there by pools and in the sun – does it suit your techno sound or do you play differently?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m a promoter initially so you can\u2019t take that trait away from me. MoodDAY pool party this year was a sell out during Miami Music Week – I also did MoodNIGHT at Trade Miami which was a smash as well… I went dark as hell and people loved it.<\/p>\n

You will be playing b2b with Victor Calderone this year – how did you hook up with him? Will you plan that set at all?<\/strong>
\nI did three hours back-to-back with Victor Calderone at the MoodDAY pool party at the Raleigh Hotel in Miami. The sun was just going down and we laid down the law. I couldn\u2019t believe how we gelled effortlessly, people were asking if we played together before, it was a first. And it won\u2019t be the last for sure, we\u2019re planning a New York show together after the summer.<\/p>\n

What else have you got coming up\/are you looking forward to?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m about to announce my residency at DC10 Circoloco this summer in Ibiza. As well as many shows with Carl Cox at Space. Summer is super exciting. Did I mention I\u2019m playing Glastonbury this year?!<\/p>\n

Whats the best and worst thing about being a DJ? Do you miss being home maybe, or hate eating take away food, or\u2026?<\/strong>
\nI actually do hate take away food, and filthy hotels. You\u2019d be surprised, even the 5-star hotels of the world are disgusting. I shower with my flip flops on now, I\u2019m too OCD. But all these mini frustrations go away once I\u2019m on the decks, it\u2019s all worth it.<\/p>\n
