Brazilian-born, Austria-based artist Joyce Muniz makes a stellar comeback to the German record label Kompakt with her new single, “Hack the System.” Released on Friday, July 11, the track is a collaboration with vocalist Futuradora.

Her latest single, “Hack the System,” opens with an electric progressive bassline, punchy drums, and captivating vocals from Futuradora. As the track unfolds, it builds with uplifting arpeggios and futuristic pads.
Speaking about the release, Joyce and Futuradora say: “‘Hack The System’ is ritual and resistance, shared across wires and wombs. It’s not just music. It’s a system hack. A spell. A love letter to future bodies dancing in the dark. Together, we built a ritual for the dancefloor and beyond—made in Berlin. No genre. No gender. Just transmission.”
Joyce is actively touring now. This Saturday, July 26, she’ll perform at Coal Festival in the Czech Republic, followed by Nature One Festival on Friday, August 1.
