Francis De Simone debuts on Nicole Moudaber’s MoodCollective with the ‘Good Vibes’ EP, 13th March 2026. De Simone has a background in jazz, rock, pop, funk, R&B, and Latin music, all of which feed directly into his dancefloor-focused releases on labels including Desolat, Cutting Headz, Mindshake Records, Hot Creations, and Solid Grooves.

The ‘Good Vibes’ EP by Francis De Simone starts off with ‘Difacil Rap’, which sets the pace with rolling kicks and a sun-soaked tech house groove, driven by Latin vocal lines and linear, loopy momentum. Smart filter work, squeaking synth details, and tropical percussion add texture as the energy steadily builds. ‘Hands On Fire’ loosens things up with swinging bass, hip-hop vocal snippets, and sweeping synth bursts, delivering a bold, body-moving rhythm built for peak-time fun. Closing track ‘Only Good Vibes’ leans into bold drums and bass, pairing tightly woven Latin melodies with R&B-tinged vocal hooks to round out the EP with an uplifting, outdoor-ready feel.

MoodCollective is the first sub-label in Nicole Moudaber’s InTheMood empire’s 10-year history, complementing her long-running radio show and flagship MOOD imprint. The label has so far hosted the likes of Castion, VLTRA, RSquared, and Cyava, earning heavy support from notable names such as Michael Bibi, Groove Armada, Jamie Jones, Marco Carola, Dennis Cruz, The Martinez Brothers, Joseph Capriati, and Adam Beyer.

You can now listen to the full premier of ‘Difacil Rap’ exclusively on When We Dip Radio. Enjoy!
