How did the collaboration between the two of you for Humanity come about, and what inspired the creation of the track?
The journey of this track has been a long one. Arude found a small vocal snippet online and started with a small scratch the idea immediately. Within a few hours, the foundation was ready, but I couldn’t fully envision how the final version would sound.
Anton (Arude) set the idea aside indefinitely until We met in his studio one day. Sincz liked the idea and he said that we should finish this thing together. In a surprisingly short time, we managed to finish the track. However, I was still unsure about it. It sounded a bit unusual and still somewhat raw, even as Sincz had already started testing it in clubs.
Later, we shared the track with Denes Toth. Thanks to his persistence and professional approach, this track is finally ready to see the light of day on his label Moodyverse.
How do your individual styles complement each other when working together in the studio?
Our styles complement each other in a really interesting way. Arude tends to focus on creating deep, atmospheric textures and intricate sound design, while Sincz collaborator brings a strong sense of rhythm and structure to the table. It’s a balance between emotional depth and groove, which I think gives the track a unique character.
When we’re in the studio, it’s less about dividing tasks and more about feeding off each other’s energy. Sometimes one of us will start with a simple idea – maybe a melody or a bassline – and the other will build on it, adding layers or reshaping the direction. It’s a fluid process, and I think that’s what makes the final result feel cohesive yet rich with different influences.
There are some high-calibre remixes on the release – which artists are included and what feelings did you have when you heard the new interpretations for the first time?
We had several artists in mind whose sound we liked and in the end, we settled on such cool artists as Losless and Baime.
We want to express our deep gratitude to these guys. They tried their best, each remix has its own character of sound. In each work, you can feel the freshness and a very original approach to work.
We both think that our team managed to create a very powerful and diverse release and that in each of the works, the listener will hear something new.
As artists from Poland, does your local scene influence your music, or do you draw inspiration more from international trends?
Poland has a growing electronic music scene with a lot of passionate artists and underground events, which creates this raw and authentic energy that’s hard to ignore but we’d like to say our inspiration comes from a mix of both local and international influences. Being part of that community pushes us to stay creative and experiment.
The beauty of electronic music is that it’s so connected across borders, and platforms like SoundCloud or Spotify allow us to stay in tune with international trends and emerging styles.
At the same time, we’re constantly exploring what’s happening globally – whether it’s the evolving sounds coming from Berlin, London, or even further afield. The beauty of electronic music is that it’s so connected across borders, and platforms like SoundCloud or Spotify allow us to stay in tune with international trends and emerging styles.
Can you tell us about the creative process behind the track? Were there any specific challenges or breakthroughs during production?
The creative process behind the track was very fluid and intuitive. We didn’t go into it with a rigid plan – instead, we let the ideas evolve naturally. It started with a vocal sample as I said before.
One of the challenges we faced was striking the right balance between the emotional depth of the track and its energy on the dancefloor. We wanted it to feel intimate and personal but still have that drive and groove that would resonate in a club setting. It took some back-and-forth to fine-tune the dynamics, but I think that process ultimately made the track stronger.
A breakthrough moment came when we introduced some subtle vocal textures and organic sounds. Plus we used some AI things to make additional layers of the vocal to make the sound more rich and powerful. It added a human element that tied everything together, giving the track its final identity. Those small details can transform a piece and elevate the overall mood. Looking back, I think the key was trusting the process and allowing ourselves the space to experiment. Sometimes the best ideas come when you’re not forcing them.
What does the title Humanity signify for you, and how do you see it resonating with listeners?
The title Humanity reflects the emotional core of the track – it’s about the shared experiences, struggles, and beauty that connect us all.
We wanted to capture that duality in the music – the light and the dark, the fragile and the resilient. For us, Humanity represents both vulnerability and strength, something that feels deeply personal yet universal.
We hope listeners can find their meaning in it. Whether it resonates as a moment of introspection or as something that drives them on the dancefloor, the goal was to create a space where people can feel connected – to themselves and to others. In times when the world feels chaotic, music has this unique way of grounding us, and we wanted Humanity to embody that feeling.
Ultimately, it’s a reminder that even in the electronic space, which can often feel mechanical or distant, there’s always room for emotion and storytelling.
How important is storytelling in your music, and does Humanity reflect a broader narrative in your work?
Storytelling is at the heart of our music. Each track is like a chapter – expressing moments, memories, or ideas that shape our experiences. Humanity reflects a broader narrative in our work. It touches on themes we explore often – connection, introspection, and the balance between light and shadow. We try to craft music that feels cinematic, where listeners can close their eyes and visualize their own story unfolding.
For us, storytelling through music isn’t about being literal but about creating a mood and inviting listeners to interpret it in their way.

What’s your take on the role of community and connection in electronic music culture, especially for platforms like TANZGEMEINSCHAFT?
Community and connection are the backbone of electronic music culture. This scene has always thrived on shared experiences – whether it’s on the dancefloor, in the studio, or through platforms like TANZGEMEINSCHAFT. There’s something unique about how electronic music can bring people together, transcending borders and backgrounds.
Platforms like Tanzgemeinschaft create spaces where artists can share their work, listeners can discover new sounds, and conversations about the music can flourish.
Platforms like TANZGEMEINSCHAFT play a huge role in fostering that sense of belonging. They create spaces where artists can share their work, listeners can discover new sounds, and conversations about the music can flourish. It’s not just about the tracks – it’s about the relationships and the collective passion that drive the culture forward.
For us, being part of that ecosystem feels essential. It reminds us that we’re not creating in isolation – we’re part of a much larger, global movement. That connection fuels creativity and inspires us to keep pushing boundaries, knowing that there’s a community out there that resonates with the same energy and vision.

Rebellious, defiant, deeply meaningful. Thank you very much!
