wicked sounds

Renaissance - Label (2022)

Joyce Muniz crafts finely tuned electronic arrangements with laser precise sound design, the Brazilian born artist has been a fixture within the Viennese club scene since the 90s. Having released on esteemed labels including Permanent Vacation, Desert Hearts, Get Physical, Exploited, Pokerflat and Gigolo, her latest endeavour sees an awaited return to PETS Recordings. Her 'Flashes On The Floor' EP champions the future-facing house sound Joyce is revered for, fit for strobe-stricken nightclubs and colossal warehouses.

'Mindcraft' sets the tone with arpeggiator patterns intertwined with vocal processions, the energetic vibe of the track is enforced by a low-jacking bassline and fiercely driving drums. The choir-like synth occupying the breakdown provides an unmatched atmosphere, almost cinematic with its use of space. Title track 'Flashes On The Floor' bubbles to the surface with an ensemble of synths and robotic voice sampling, the extremely slick sound design gone into this track feels razor sharp and elegant. The track's main body reminiscent of classic Detroit electro, the perfect mix of futuristic aesthetic with respectful odes toward the long-established pillars of dance music.

'Friends & Benefits' is a brand-new collaboration track with Chicago's Alinka, a good friend of Joyce's, they've previously worked together on Permanent Vacation. The track explores deep tonal frequencies, minimal in its nature, the warping introduction of charged-up arpeggio melodies guides the latter end of the arrangement through glowing landscapes of distant analog synthesisers and rolling kicks drums. Dutch production duo - Fouk concludes the project with their own take on 'Mindcraft'. Higher emphasis has been placed upon the percussive elements to really establish the body- moving elements in this track, congas and shakers fill the high-end frequencies atop the luminous synth strings and tell-tale vocal sample.

Cook Strummer (@cook-strummer) has complied the latest Berlin Gets Physical (@get-physical-music)but first comes a second EP taken from it with two fresh cuts.

Berlin-born Pardon Moi and Feinstoff founder, multi-instrumentalist and touring DJ Freudenthal (@freudenthal) has a dark wave sound that is all his own. Here he pair up with DJ and producer, Nowhere People (@avivaviv), an artist who has been on the scene for a decade now, releasing on labels like Blaufield Music and Imprint Rural and playing regularly at the likes of Kater Blau. ‘Cipher’ is designed for strobe lit dance floors and comes with lashings of wave influences as this track proves. It’s a stark cut with slapping hits, rugged bass and rave lines that amp up the energy levels, as brilliantly cosmic synth patterns unfold up top to bring the light and ensure maximum impact on the floor.

Sandhog (with an upcoming release on Blue Shadow Rec) lands on Exploited Ghetto with an excellent EP that truly stands out from the crowd and which was already supported by Chaim heavily. 

‘Endless Dimension’ is a quirky, mystical track driven by a rubbery, bouncing bassline, springy hi-hats and a plump kick. The rest is left to a heady mixture of squelchy synths, Eastern flute sounds, the resonant twangs of a mouth harp and peaceful birdsong. Rolling bongo rhythms and gentle snare rolls add flavour at the right moments, while the synth modulation adds to the track’s living, breathing feel.

AIKON provides a deeper, chunkier remix, taking an almost early 1990s progressive house feel. The atmospheric feels are dialled up, and a hypnotic drive is created. Filtered electric guitar chords add another psychedelic touch, and the mouth harp is looped to brilliant effect to create an evolving pulse that undulates through the track. The reverb on the flutes also adds a lot to their mysterious feel, putting you in the mind of a wild jungle trek.

‘Penang’, named after the Malaysian state, shows Sandhog in a more dancefloor-focused stride. A snappy rhythm and monotone bass pulses underpin fizzing synth blasts. Bluesy guitar licks interplay with proto-trance synth sweeps to make for an unusual melange. Electric guitar plucks add to the swinging groove, trippy vocals add another layer of energy and the whole affair is a refreshingly different and colourful experience. It’s a unique sound indeed.
