by The Queen of Music, Nicole Moudaber, closes out 2025 with another standout record, teaming up with rising techno sensation ZLATA for the commanding new track ‘Report to the Dancefloor’ – out now via Drumcode.
Fusing Nicole Moudaber’s signature deep, hypnotic techno with ZLATA’s dark, seductive energy, ‘Report to the Dancefloor’ is a mesmerising, psytrance-infused weapon featuring vocals from both artists.
“I was first introduced to ZLATA via a women in music group chat. We met in Ibiza and hit it off instantly. I always find it so inspiring working with new artists, and we really bounced off each other on this one. The name of the track actually came about from a moment we had after my show at Brooklyn Mirage – although ZLATA will tell it better than me!” Nicole Moudaber
“Nicole and I were talking about another track of mine to sign and the conversation naturally shifted into creating something together.” ZLATA recalls “The room was vibrating, Carl Cox was already thundering through the speakers, and I said, ‘Should we go dance?’ Nicole leaned in with her cigarette in her left hand and said, ‘report to the dance floor.’ It was direct, effortless, and very her. I looked at her and thought, this track is writing itself. Working with her felt like stepping into a master class. Being part of this project has been an honor and a true evolution.” ZLATA
A global powerhouse, Nicole Moudaber is one of electronic music’s true legends. This year saw her expand her MOOD empire with the launch of her new imprint MoodCollective – dedicated to house and tech-house as well as add a slew of new records to her catalogue of hits. Debuting on A State Of Trance earlier this year, Moudaber has seen more releases on pioneering labels including Nervous Records and Drumcode, as well as high-profile collaborations with Armin van Buuren, Jamie Jones and Space 92 to name just a few.
Emerging as a formidable presence in global techno, ZLATA has supported Eli Brown, Bart Skils, Reinier Zonneveld, and Basement Jaxx. Her releases on Insomniac, We Are The Brave and Femme House Records are celebrated for their deep, immersive energy, and her performances – from underground clubs to massive stages like Avant Gardner, Echostage, Sound Nightclub, and Ultra Music Festival – blend intensity and unapologetic femininity, making her the perfect counterpart to Moudaber’s commanding sound.
