about

The first single off ‘Zeitkapsel’, the sophomore album from Brazil-born, Berlin-based DJ, producer and vocalist Joyce Muniz, ‘In Der Nacht’ was actually the last track to be written for the release.
Its pulsing electro strut – somewhere between 80s new wave and 2000s nu rave – and German-sung lyrics about the surreal, hypnagogic state connecting dreams and reality, tie together various formative influences Muniz re-explores on ‘Zeitkapsel – an album she wrote over lockdown while reflecting on the various facets of her career.

Muniz moved to Vienna, Austria, in the mid-90s, and the larger-than-life aesthetic and tongue-in-cheek humour of hugely successful Austrian artists such as Falco, Supermax and EAV hangs large on ‘In Der Nacht’, which translates as ‘in the night’.

The lyrics arose spontaneously from an improvised session. Stylist, DJ, performer and queer activist Karl Michael, who also lives in Vienna, was in Berlin to share some new outfits with Muniz. But when she played him the track, saying she needed a rapper, the two set to work, recording Michael’s prosecco-fuelled musings on a phone.

With the stream-of-consciousness flow providing a hazy, playful edge to Muniz’s dark, melodic undertones, ‘In Der Nacht’ pays tribute to a rich vein of experimental, European electronic pop. But it also echoes the mid-2000s, when German electro house recast this heritage and Muniz was finding her feet as an artist in her own right.
