Artist Spotlight: TAWWA & Scorz
First of all, congratulations on the release of “Evil”! Looking back at your individual journeys, what early influences or experiences shaped the unique sounds you both brought into this collaboration?
- TAWWA: Thank you! In my case, my earliest influences came from home, where I started listening to electronic music in childhood and gradually discovered artists who shaped my groovier identity. Scorz, on the other hand, has always brought the emotional depth of progressive house. When we combined these two visions, Evil was born naturally as the fusion of our journeys.
- Scorz: That’s a tough question because “Evil” is quite different from the music I’ve been producing over the past few years. But I think the key influence wasn’t a specific genre, it was the experience of playing so many different venues, crowds, and lineups. Being exposed to all those dancefloor dynamics naturally pushed me toward trying something new, something that truly connects physically with the crowd. That desire to make the body move guided what I brought into this collaboration.
TAWWA, a big new wave of Brazilian talents is entering the electronic music scene. How do you feel being part of this development?
I have been on this journey for many years, and seeing my work gain recognition, especially with the recent releases on Armada, has been incredibly rewarding. I feel that everything I’ve built over time is finally coming together, creating the opportunities I have always hoped to achieve.
Scorz, you’ve achieved so much already across progressive and melodic house. Is there a new chapter or sound you’re excited to explore in the near future?
I’m always open to experimenting. Since I started back in 2010, I’ve produced everything from ambient to hardstyle, most of it unreleased, haha, but the curiosity was always there. So, the future is wide open. I follow what I love: music, melodies, and making people dance. That’s what matters to me. I don’t really believe in strict genre boundaries anymore; they tend to limit creativity more than help it.
How did the creative process unfold between you both, and at what moment did you feel the track had truly found its identity?
- TAWWA: Working with Scorz showed me how different production approaches can genuinely complement each other. He brought a technical precision and attention to detail that elevated the original idea. It was a very natural and enriching exchange that added new layers to my creative process.
- Scorz: The idea actually started with TAWWA right after an electronic music party we went to together. She’s really into that new hybrid tech house–minimal bass sound, and the sketch she showed me the next day instantly caught my attention, especially the breakbeat section. It was a track type I had never released before, so it felt fresh and exciting. I jumped in, added my own twist, and that’s when “Evil” really took shape and found its identity.
Collaboration often brings new perspectives. What’s one thing each of you learned from working together on this release?
- TAWWA: I’ve learned the importance of trusting even more in someone else’s creative process. Every detail my partner brought added something I would never have thought of on my own, and this blend of different influences was essential for creating something unique and arriving exactly at the track we envisioned.
- Scorz: For me, it was about stepping outside my comfort zone. I’ve been producing lots of different genres, but most of my recent work leans more toward melodic or chill vibes. Working with TAWWA pushed me toward a more dancefloor-driven direction, which was a valuable shift.
When performing “Evil” live, what kind of energy or reaction do you hope the crowd experiences on the dance floor?
- TAWWA: I hope the crowd feels the impact straight away, especially with the track’s striking vocal. I want “Evil” to trigger that instinctive reaction that makes the dance floor come alive instantly.
- Scorz: I want the crowd to let loose completely, that moment where everyone stops thinking and just goes wild.
If you could describe “Evil” in just three words, one from each of you, what would they be?
- TAWWA: Powerful, provocative, and intense.
- Scorz: Dirty, big, and fresh.
