In Interview from Quarantine with Joyce Muniz

/in , , /by

Joyce Muniz, a DJ, producer and singer from Vienna with Brazilian roots, has been making waves around Europe for a number of years, so it was only time we got the chance to interview her.

Now relocated to Berlin, Muniz has a string of amazing releases on the likes of Exploited, K7!, Get Physical and 2020 Vision. On Steve Bug’s flagship Poker Flats label, Muniz now drops What’s Your Name with the hugely talented Demetrius on vocal duties (available HERE). The full version is a tough tech house groover, the bumps and swings via a sick rhythm section and thick, rolling bass pulse. Demetrius’s low slung vocals add to the sleezey, edgy vibe of the track. The instrumental offers DJs a vocal-less version that really lets the bass come to the fore.

2020 hasn’t been easy on any touring artists, and she isn’t an exception.

We organized to have this interview with Joyce Muniz virtually, both of us quarantined on opposite sides of the world.
