InTheMood - Episode 515 - International Women’s Day 2024

Follow Nicole Moudaber: SUBSCRIBE: Full episode available on Apple Music - I’ve been putting together mixes for International Women’s Day since 2017 and it’s always something I put extra special thought into. It would be too easy and boring to just select the fiercest techno queens around right now. Instead I like to shine a spotlight on some of my own heroines and mix up the genres - we go from classical to 140bpm in 60 minutes - prepare yourself! I say it every year but women in music is not a new thing despite what we are led to believe - my sisters have been smashing it since the very beginning of electronic music history and this mix is my attempt to make sure no one EVER forgets this. The mix starts with someone I believe is the most important female electronic artist alive today -Wendy Carlos - not only has she composed some of the best iconic electronic scores for movies like A Clockwork Orange, The Shining and Tron (which opens the mix) - she was the first trans woman ever to win a Grammy - in fact she won THREE in 1970. FIERCE!! Other legends featured include Anne Clarke, Madonna, Beyonce (together with all my favourite Afro girls ) and a BEC remix of Sonique - the original female superstar DJ with her timeless ‘It Feels So Good\ They appear alongside some of the newer artists I’m so excited about in 2024 including SUCHI, Polygonia, Desna, Elisa Elisa and Cosmicat.
