Brazilian by birth, but by now well embedded with Europe's clubbing scene, Joyce Muniz returns to Ibiza this weekend. The respected DJ and producer is lining up as a guest of Claptone for his Saturday night spectacle The Masquerade at Pacha on 3 June.
Known for a slew of releases on respected labels such as Exploited, Permanent Vacation and Get Physical, as well as her self-titled Joyce Muniz Music, she is increasingly hard to pigeonhole. Her productions cover House, Deep House, Indie Dance, Melodic Techno and always with a Latin influence. It means that attendees to Pacha are in for a treat on Saturday.
Ahead of her appearance, we invited Joyce for a playlist takeover and provide a glimpse into her record bag.
Joyce Muniz's Melodic Techno playlist takeover
Sandhog | Accent - (Renato Cohen Remix) | Exploited Club
"Great remix by Renato Cohen. I have been playing this one a lot. Some of the drums reminds of New Order's big hit Blue Monday."
Joyce Muniz | Dressed In Secrets | Pets Recordings
"This is my latest track on Pets Recordings and I am really happy the way this one turned out. It's a very electric, progressive tune. Very untypical for my other productions, that's why this tune became so special to me."
Terr | States of Minds | Phantasy Records
"Super nice tune by my friend Terr. It has a very nice acid line on it and it's still very dreamy."
Oliver Koletzki & Niko Schwind | Stay until the Light (Biesmans Remix) | Stil Vor Talent
"Biesmans did a great job on this remix. Great tune for open airs and festivals. Dark bassline with good vocals."
HEO | Love Stimulation (Ben Gomori's Brotherly Love Reboot) | Hooj Choons
"Big tune with '90s vibes. I love the dreamy piano on it. The perfect summer tune."
Joyce Muniz | Arrivederci Bella | Joyce Muniz Music
"Arrivederci Bella came out on my latest album. The track has a mix between Samba & Electro.
It has a great groove and the percussion brings a little bit of a carnival flavour."
