Made In Vienna CD

Joyce Muniz cut her teeth as a vocalist in her native Vienna during the early 2000s, appearing on countless Stereotyp records, before making her name as a house producer for labels such as 20:20 Vision and Exploited. It's to the latter she's returned on this quietly confident debut album. Mixing woozy, enjoyable house grooves - think powdery, Visionquest style deep house/tech-house hybrids, with the odd darker moment - with vocal contributions from a range of guests (Kat Vinter, Enequist, Human Life and Christa Vi all feature), it's a largely breezy and ear-pleasing concoction. There are few genuine surprises, but enough highlights to suggest that repeat listening will be rewarded.
