THE DROP: Introducing Joyce Muniz!

8 Nov
Joyce Muniz is an excellent Brazillian MC, vocalist and DJ based in Vienna, Austria. Alongside Shanti Roots, she has begun to forge a career as a vocalist after starting a career as a teenage female DJ to much fanfare. As a vocalist, she released an EP alongside Shanti Roots in 2008, with such names as old school legend Dorfmeister (of Kruder and Dorfmeister fame) as remixers.
You want to be aware of Muniz because she’s featured on the Dave Nada and DJ Sabo Sol Selectas moombahton EP alongside collaborator the aforementioned Shanti Roots on Sabo’s “Cumbia Lifestyle,” given a smooth moombahton edit by Dave Nada on the release.
As a producer in her own right, Muniz has been busy blending elements of Afrobeat, Chicago house and electro for quite some time, and releases her latest track, “Party over here, party over there” on Exploited Records on November 12th. The video for the track, which has been cosigned by the likes of rising South African house head Spoek Mathambo, Crookers, Skream, Azari & III and a plethora of other major hitmakers, was released last week, and is now here for your viewing pleasure.
As the moombahton movement grows, one of the most thrilling parts of the evolution will be noting how existing dance progressions in existing Latin sounds, much like the explorations of those like Sabo, Joyce Muniz and a plethora more are adjusted by or incorporated into the moombahton juggernaut. 
Enjoy!
