Joyce Muniz & Namito EP, Me & Da Beat, brings Desert Heart’s Mikey Lion in on the Fun

Joyce Muniz & Namito EP, Me & Da Beat, brings Desert Heart’s Mikey Lion in on the Fun

After first releasing her own music in 2010, Joye Muniz’s underground fame spread worldwide like wildfire. DJ Namito ran the underground scene in Berlin, until most recently releasing a double LP entitled Letting Go which garnished national acclamation. Recently, the two elite musicians hailing from Deutschland, came together to deliver a classic EP Me and Da Beat.

The German DJs start strong with a fire track featuring Quinta Jones over crazy synths and a slap-happy bass line.

They reached deep in their toolboxes to bring to life “Beside My Beat”. A fever dream sound created by combining cutting tones and sharp percussion with hollow progressions, strings, and vocals.  

They paint the final stroke of their portrait as powerfully as the first,  drafting Desert Hearts lead, Mikey Lion, to craft a salacious tech house rinse.

New DIRTYBIRD Release from Rebūke is a fresh take on tech-house

New DIRTYBIRD Release from Rebūke is a fresh take on tech-house

The Irish-born DJ, Rebūke, is all about challenging the classic tech-house we know and love. DIRTYBIRD gets behind his movement and offers a new EP titled Jump Ship that showcases the artist’s unique style.

This two-track EP pushes the boundaries for a DIRTYBIRD release, and the result is a success. The EP opener, aptly named Jump Ship, is a departure from a typical house track and calls for the listener to pay attention. Rebūke wakes us up from the methodic head-bop of house music and adds unexpected djembe-like drums while playing with different rhythms and beats per minute. This high-energy track will have you gyrating from head to toe. The second track on the EP, The Pipe, is no different in the sense that it’s unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. The whole EP has a jungle-beat vibe to it and The Pipe hits the listener with flute-like synths that serve to transport the mind.

Since stepping on the scene, Rebūke has worked to make an original sound, and Jump Ship seems like a metaphor for departing from typical mainstream rave music and inviting us on his journey. The EP is unique and a pleasure to listen to, and accomplishes the artist’s goal of originality.

New EP Release on Desert Hearts featuring Matt Tolfrey and Lee Curtiss

New EP Release on Desert Hearts featuring Matt Tolfrey and Lee Curtiss

Desert Hearts Records has released a new EP that is guaranteed to keep us dancing well into the New Year. Suprised? Neither are we. With Matt Tolfrey and Lee Curtiss to thank, The EP, aptly named For Your Mind, maintains the staple Desert Hearts house beat we know and love. Who Said That, the EP opener, serves steady percussion and inlays of soft vocals and differing samples throughout. The EP finisher is a bubbly house track and mimics the style of vocals present in the opener. A classic Desert Hearts release, For Your Mind is the perfect reminder for why we love house music.

Both Curtiss and Tolfrey are heavy hitters when it comes to experience. Curtiss is known for his ability to add diversity from different eras into his tracks, while Tolfrey’s success as a DJ has led him to be the owner of his own label, Leftroom. Both artists has a knack for enticing us to the dance floor, and this collaboration will find us hard-pressed to ever leave.
