Austin-based artists MajestyofDivinity and Provider have teamed up for their latest single, “Let Me In,” a moody and personal techno track that balances vulnerability with dancefloor energy. The collaboration marks a new chapter for both artists, combining Majesty’s freestyle lyricism with Provider’s minimal production.

In our interview, the duo reflects on the unexpected chemistry that shaped “Let Me In”—from the first session in the studio to the shared experiences that guided the track to the finish line. They open up about the balance between tension and release, the influence of Austin’s underground scene, and what it means to make dance music that feels both authentic and created for those 3 AM dance floors.

First off, this track is a personal one—what was it like bringing those vulnerable themes into a collaborative setting for the first time with Provider?

MajestyofDivinity: It was honestly refreshing to feel so safe and comfortable exploring anything and everything I was feeling, without worrying about judgment or how I might be perceived. If anything, Provider was really helpful in guiding those emotions and finding different ways to express them through melody.

I also feel like we’re both very familiar with these feelings in our ways, so it was really beautiful to see the alignment of our worlds come through in the music.

As the instrumental came together before Majesty arrived, what drew you to that stripped-back, groove-forward sound, and how did it evolve once vocals entered the mix?

Provider: In general, I think my tastes have been shifting over the past year, from hardgroove techno and dub techno to more stripped-back, restrained, and psychedelic-sounding techno. I’ve been working on creating instrumentals that take the best parts of hardgroove (like swung basslines and percussive elements) and deliver them in a more minimal form, without feeling boring or too compromised.

It’s a good challenge for me, because I’m usually a bit of a maximalist. As soon as Majesty’s vocals entered the mix, I think we both heard the track’s potential, and that motivated us to keep going. I also knew I wanted to use the vocals to create big builds and releases in tension, which helped shape the structure of the song.

“Let Me In” came together in a single studio session. Can you walk us through what you remember from that day?

MajestyofDivinity: I literally remember coming in and telling Provider I was lowkey not feeling it that day—but I was determined to make the session happen, lol. We caught up on life for a bit, and then he started showing me some tracks.

I think it was the first one he played—I immediately started hearing melodies in my head and just went for it. We tweaked the beat a little bit, but I was itching to get on the mic, so we jumped right in. It all happened so fast, especially for something that took us so long to start.

Provider: Before Majesty pulled up, I remember getting the studio set up and firing up Ableton to warm up. I actually started writing the bassline and initial loop and was feeling it, but I also thought it might be too techno-heavy, and figured we’d go in a different direction.

After catching up, I played it for her and could tell she was into it, and we pretty much immediately started adding more elements and building the track, lol. It was definitely one of those sessions where it felt like the song was writing itself. I just wanted to capture as much of that energy as possible.

How did you write the lyrics to match the tension in the production?

MajestyofDivinity: I love freestyling, and I get a lot of my lyrics that way. So when I sat in front of the mic and just flowed with the beat, it kind of guided what I wanted to say.

At the same time, I let my real-life experiences—especially those from the dance floor and life in general—flash through my mind in the background. That allows whatever needs to come up to do so, under the influence of the beat. It gives me space to rewrite those stories in a way that aligns with what I’m hearing and feeling. Following the progression of the beat feels like going on a smooth ride that I get to steer with my voice.

You’ve said the phrase “out of body, skin to skin” was a turning point. What about those words felt so directional?

Provider: I love techno with vocals, but it’s easy to end up with something that feels corny if the lyrics aren’t right. When I heard Majesty sing those lines, it felt like they captured that experience of losing yourself on the dancefloor, without being too obvious or cliché.

I also think those lyrics have this cool, dark, almost sinister undertone that balances well with the sweetness of the harmonies that come in during the second half of the track.

As this was your first time working together, how did your different backgrounds complement each other, and what do you admire most about each other as creatives?

MajestyofDivinity: Provider has always had a deep knowledge of the sounds that inspired me, which I think is what brought us closer in the first place. But beyond that, he has so much technical knowledge—things I’m still learning—that I appreciate.

I feel like we were able to fill each other’s cups through this experience. Provider is very clear about what he wants and when he wants it, and I love that! As a Gemini, I tend to let things chill a little longer than necessary, but Provider saw the vision immediately and jumped on it, which was super inspiring for me.

Provider: Majesty has this bright, warm energy that I felt from the first time we met. That energy shows up in everything she does musically—from her DJ sets to her singing and production.

It’s obvious she has a ton of passion, personality, and drive. That passion and warmth added so much to this track. Sometimes techno can feel sterile or lack that human element, and while that can be intentional, for this one I wanted something emotional and deeply human.

She brought that. On top of that, I’ve always loved Majesty’s ear for music. We actually first bonded over our shared love for UK bass music.

With so much emotion in the track, how did you find the right balance of tension and restraint without losing its 3 AM club energy?

MajestyofDivinity: For me, when you really witness how fluid emotional expression can be, the line between emotion and energy blurs—and that’s what I kept in mind while creating the vibe.

I go to the club to release tension and transmute my emotions, so that gave me the foundation to naturally cultivate the energy while still keeping that club-like atmosphere.

Provider: What I love about this song is how it starts and ends with a lot of restraint. For the first two minutes, it feels almost like a techno tool—super minimal, with a big, pumping bassline.

Then it gradually opens up into this warm, expansive build that kind of transports you—it feels like seeing a sunrise. And just before the sun fully rises and gets too bright, everything falls away again: it’s dark, stripped back, and the party continues.

I think the track holds onto those 3 AM vibes by not being overly generous with the sweetness—it always returns to that raw, minimal core.

On a grander scale, how does “Let Me In” reflect your vision for what dance music should feel like?

MajestyofDivinity: Dance music has always, and will always, be my biggest form of release. “Let Me In” feels like another reflection of that truth.

From the relief I get by erotically moving my hips and feet on the dance floor, to the emotional release of letting go of everything I’ve been holding inside, in a room where the only things that really matter are the music and the movement. “Let Me In” sets the stage for reliving that experience, over and over again.

Austin’s underground scene must have played a role in shaping the sound of “Let Me In.” How has living in Austin impacted your sound, as well as your approach to music collaboration?

Provider: Living and participating in the Austin scene has completely fueled and shaped everything I’m doing musically. There are so many artists and DJs here who’ve inspired the music I make and play.

Seeing a Point Reyes set at Kingdom had me thinking, “Damn, I need to dial in on some minimal groove techno,” and then catching Lucía Beyond closing a party at Eternal had me like, “Alright, I need a chord progression and a key change in my next track,” lmao.

Over the past year or so, I’ve made it a mission to collaborate more and get real reps in the studio with other artists. I feel honored and excited to be working alongside so many talented people here—it motivates me to put music out with folks from the scene and show the world what’s happening in Central Texas. And just being able to play at underground parties all the time is a gift.

It lets me test out tracks and see what’s working in real time. Shout out to Immediate Rush and True Step for letting me test this one out in a tunnel under a highway a few weeks ago for a crowd of 100+ people. That was wild.

Now that “Let Me In” is out in the world, what was the biggest lesson you learned from making and releasing this track?

MajestyofDivinity: This process showed me how much I can gain by letting go and just allowing something to be. Perfectionism doesn’t equal “good enough.” If it feels good, let it. Don’t be afraid to share that. I think I needed this lesson to move forward into the next stage of my music journey.

Provider: Echoing what Majesty said—it felt amazing to finish this track in just two or three sessions. I tend to drag ideas out or get caught up in endless variations and details. But the truth is, we all have limited time to practice our art in this game of life.

So, if I can work toward being more efficient in the studio and finishing and sharing more music, that’s a win. Also… I learned that I want to work with Majesty again in the future!
