Joyce Muniz’s ‘Mo Dupe’ is finally here, and it’s pure lo-fi Afro Italo fire.
Returning to Exploited after the huge success of her No.1 banger Beats & Lines, the Vienna-based Brazilian DJ and producer is showing no signs of slowing down. This time, she’s going deeper and more textured, leaning into spiritual roots with a slick club-ready sound.
The new track, ‘Mo Dupe’, translates to “I give thanks” in Yoruba, and that’s exactly the energy it delivers. Muniz samples vocals from a Nigerian ritual dedicated to the goddess Oxum, channeling vibes of abundance and reverence. But make no mistake, this isn’t some mellow spiritual trip. The track hits hard.
The bit-crushed drums snap with a gritty edge, the bassline grinds with intent, and foggy synths roll in like mist over a late-night festival. It’s lo-fi in all the right ways, raw, emotional, and totally hypnotic. Joyce Muniz knows how to work a groove, and ‘Mo Dupe’ proves it yet again.
The production stays crunchy and organic, staying true to her aesthetic. And while it carries spiritual undertones, the track is made for the dancefloor. It’s no surprise she’s a resident at FM4, her style walks that perfect line between underground and widely playable.
Following up Beats & Lines, which topped charts and brought her global attention, ‘Mo Dupe’ feels like an evolution. It’s not just a follow-up, it’s a level-up. She’s digging deeper, mixing lo-fi textures with Afro-Italo sensibilities, and creating something that’s both fresh and familiar.
Exploited Records has always been a home for genre-pushing artists, and Joyce Muniz is clearly one of their stars. The label gave her the space to experiment here, and it paid off. This is the kind of track that’ll show up in dark basements, beach raves, and chilled after-hours sets alike.
Feeling the energy of ‘Mo Dupe’? Hit play and get immersed. Whether you’re a longtime Joyce Muniz fan or just discovering her vibe, this track deserves a spot on your playlist.
