Great music doesn’t age, it evolves. Almost a decade on from its release, pioneering electronic music duo Deep Dish have combined forces with Music Queen Nicole Moudaber for a modern-day rework of ‘Love Someone Else’ with Skunk Anansie. Deep Dish x Nicole Moudaber x Skunk Anansie’s ‘Love Someone Else’ is out now via Factory 93 Records.
Originally released in 2016 on MOOD Records, Nicole’s revision of ‘Love Someone Else’ marked a distinctive creative chapter for Moudaber. Following her initial collaboration with Skunk Anansie frontwoman Skin, which resulted in their ‘Breed EP’ opus, the techno temptress turned her hand to reinterpreting one of the band’s original singles.
Not a remix in the traditional sense, ‘Love Someone Else’ was conceived as a revision: a reimagining that translated the emotional intensity of the original for the underground club scene. A truly genre-defying production, with this collaboration Moudaber challenged the traditional boundaries between electronic music and alternative songwriting. It wasn’t a crossover designed for impact but instead the product of genuine chemistry and a desire to create without constraint. The result was a record that not only stood apart but stood the test of time.
Nearly a decade on, the track’s resonance has only grown as long-time admirers of the single, Deep Dish requested to license it again – a rare move that is testament to its lasting emotional and musical weight. Rather than simply revisiting the past, Moudaber stepped back into the project, re-engaging with the record from a contemporary perspective and instinctively reshaping it for today’s dancefloors.
“Skin and I first connected completely by chance on a flight, and that meeting led to our initial work together on the Breed EP. ‘Love Someone Else’ came afterwards, as my own interpretation of her original track. It was always about instinct and emotion rather than genre. When Deep Dish reached out all these years later, it felt natural to return to it again, to add a new touch and a new dimension.”

The resulting Deep Dish rework is not a reinvention, but a continuation. Their signature blend of futuristic melodic house fuses seamlessly with Nicole’s dark, driving sensibility for an infectious rhythm that allows Skin’s vocal to take on renewed intensity while preserving the spirit of the original collaboration.
