NICOLAAS (@nicolaasmusic formerly known as Muneshine) is a producer/remixer from Canada. Not too long ago, he released a nostalgic nu-disco tune, “(Baby I) Need Your Love,” featuring Detroit hip-hop artist, eLZhi (formerly of Slum Village).
NICOLAAS – “(Baby I) Need Your Love” single
“For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved the mix of R&B and hip-hop, especially from the early ‘90s. It’s definitely nostalgic for me. I grew up on hip-hop, and when R&B artists started featuring rappers on their tracks it felt like a perfect fit and a natural progression. I wanted to embody that energy, but wrap the whole thing in my vibe, which is also a mix of retro and contemporary sounds.” – NICOLAAS explained
‘(Baby I) Need Your Love’ contains a relatable narrative and ear-pleasing vocalization that will resonate well with fans of OLIVER, Breakbot, and Louis La Roche. The infectious summer tune possesses groovy instrumentation which walks the line between contemporary electronic, nu-disco, vintage ‘90s R&B, and hip-hop elements. Furthermore, “(Baby I) Need Your Love” is NICOLAAS’s first original song released since dropping his remix of Hall & Oates’ “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)” song in summer 2021.

To date, NICOLAAS has worked with Tom Waits, Pete Rock, Buckwild, Sean Price, F**ked Up, and The Herbaliser. Also, he remixed Portugal, The Man’s “Purple Yellow Red Blue” song that accumulated over one million streams online.
NICOLAAS’s single, “Venus & Mars (Freddie Joachim Remix),” which premiered on Majestic Casual, gained nearly one million plays on YouTube and nearly 800K on Soundcloud. Since then, he has broadened his creative horizons.
