about

‘Zeitkapsel’, the album from which ‘Bangalore Girl’ comes, isn’t Joyce Muniz’s first – the Brazil-born artist, who grew up in Austria and now lives in Berlin, released ‘Made In Vienna’ on Exploited in 2016. It is the first, however, to draw together all the strands of her musical DNA, fittingly finding its home on her own imprint that was founded specifically for this project.

Written after touring India, the tabla drums and sampled vocal of ‘Bangalore Girl’ came from Muniz’s desire to capture the sensory memories that lingered on after the magical experience. But its drum and bass underpinning harks back to her early DJ career playing drum and bass as resident DJ at Vienna’s famous Flex Club – a time when Brazilian d&b stars such as Dj Marky and Dj Patife were revolutionising the genre by bringing in elements of samba and other more traditional sounds.

Best known as a house producer, ‘Bangalore Girl’ displays all the finesse of an artist raised on d&b, a moody dancefloor roller loaded with catchy ethereal vocal hooks. As an outlier in Muniz’s career, however, the prospect of finding a home proved tricky.
It proved a blessing in disguise. Reawakening her to parts of her musical identity that had fallen dormant, from a formative love of 80s Austrian pop through roots MCing in Portuguese to her rise in the era of French electro, ‘Bangalore Girl’ proved the first step towards ‘Zeitkapsel’, an album connecting all the dots in her journey so far.
