Joyce Muniz's single 'In Der Nacht' taken from her latest album 'Zeitkapsel' gets an update for the dancefloor by Joyce herself.
Yet it’s 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 as a DJ, singer and MC, and producer.
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 mid-2000s, when German electro house recast this heritage and Muniz was finding her feet as an artist in her own right.

Joyce Muniz -  In Der Nacht (Rework)

The 15-track release is a special edition of fabric Originals' ongoing compilation series presented by new fabric brand Love Hertz. 

The third compilation coming out on fabric Originals also marks the first melodic, deep house and groovy electronic compilation from fabric’s flagship label. SELECTS III is a celebration of a genre that has found a firm and welcome home at the club itself post-lockdown. It includes 15 fresh, new, and all-original cuts from the likes of Red Axes, Perel, Tony Y Not, Shubostar, Glowal, and Zombies In Miami. 

SELECTS III is an array of exciting new talent, established artists, and fabric club regulars alike, all contributing towards a glistening project that will transport listeners into uplifting dancefloor-ready bliss. Red Axes, who have also released a separate single ‘HEY’ ft. A.lonzo via Originals, have put forth the track ‘Super Power Powder’. Meanwhile, rising talent and one-to-watch Chloé Caillet delivers the excellent ‘Back To Self’, making a firm stamp on the release ahead of her curated night ‘SMIILE’ at Colour Factory in Hackney Wick this November. 


Other tracks include ‘Revelation’ from Kiara Scuro; diverting slightly from the compilation’s more contemplative moments, the London-based duo presents a floaty yet impactful track, that warps, ebbs, flows, and ups the tension just at the right moment. Plus, already out, ANII’s captivating ‘Just Breathe’, is a perfect instance of the dreamy euphoria that seeps throughout the all-encompassing and well-rounded selection of tracks. 

Meanwhile, Hardt Antoine’s new track takes the listener through a kaleidoscopic sonic journey, traversing the Reculture label founder’s eclectic sonic pallet. Inspired by futuristic and science fiction themes, Antoine transports us through musical dimensions but is never unrelenting in that consistent and overarching dance-floor bliss that seeps between the track's trace-inducing backdrop.
