Brazilian producers Öwnboss and Scorsi have each built successful careers in electronic music, but with Immersed, the duo has created something that exists beyond their individual identities. Rooted in groove, atmosphere, and cinematic storytelling, the project has steadily evolved through a series of releases that explore contrast-balancing melody with aggression, tension with emotion, and club energy with immersive sound design.
Their latest single, “In Rotation,” marks the darkest and most dancefloor-focused chapter of the project so far. Released via Sony Music, the track continues the rollout toward Immersed’s debut EP while showcasing the duo’s growing artistic vision. We caught up with Öwnboss and Scorsi to discuss the inspiration behind the new release, how Immersed came to life, and where the project is headed next. We sat down with them to discuss their latest projects and music career:
1. “In Rotation” is your darkest and most club-focused Immersed release yet. What inspired you to take the project in this direction with this track?
We never wanted Immersed to stay in one lane. Every release explores a different emotion, but they’re all part of the same world. “In Rotation” is probably the most direct expression of the dancefloor side of the project. It’s darker, more hypnotic, and more relentless, but it still has that cinematic tension we’ve been chasing since day one.
The idea was simple: make something that pulls people into a loop where they almost lose track of time. That’s where the title came from.
2. The idea of repetition becoming transformative plays a big role in “In Rotation.” How did you translate that concept into the production and overall feeling of the track?
We wanted the repetition to feel hypnotic instead of repetitive.
A lot of the elements barely change, but tiny details keep evolving the entire time. New textures appear, the energy keeps shifting, and before you realize it, you’re hearing the same idea in a completely different way.
That’s actually how clubs work too. You hear a groove over and over, but because the room, the lights, and the crowd keep changing, the feeling changes with them.
3. You both already had established careers before creating Immersed. What did you feel you could explore together through this project that you weren’t necessarily doing individually?
Freedom. When you already have an established project, people naturally expect certain things from your music. Immersed gave us permission to ignore those expectations completely.
Instead of asking, “Does this sound like us?” we started asking, “Does this sound like Immersed?” That simple shift opened a lot of creative doors. We could blend emotions, genres, and influences much more naturally because we weren’t trying to fit into either of our solo identities or follow anything that already existed.
4. Immersed started organically after your remix of Nari & Milani’s “Atom” began getting support from artists like Steve Angello. At what point did you realize this collaboration could become something bigger than a one-off record?
Ironically, it wasn’t because of the success of “Atom.” There was a moment when we shared the stage and felt a completely different energy between us. After that, the project almost started building itself. The music kept coming, the visual ideas kept growing, and eventually it became obvious that this wasn’t just another collaboration anymore.
The real turning point came after we started making more music together. We realized every record belonged to the same universe, even though they all sounded different from one another.
5. Öwnboss, “Move Your Body” became a massive global record, while Scorsi brings more than two decades of experience across different sides of electronic music. How do those different backgrounds influence the way you work together in the studio?
Our differences are probably our biggest strength. One side naturally pushes emotion, melody, and simplicity. The other constantly looks for tension, groove, and heavier sound design. Instead of competing, those perspectives complement each other.
The rule has always been that neither world should dominate. If a record sounds like it could simply belong to one of us, it probably isn’t finished yet.
6. You’ve now released “Now You See Me,” “Tantra,” “The Last Time,” and “In Rotation.” What have these four tracks revealed about the sound and identity you’re building for Immersed?
That Immersed isn’t a genre. Those four records are very different from each other, but they all feel connected because they’re built around the same philosophy: contrast.
Melody against aggression. Simplicity against tension. Club energy against cinematic emotion.
More than defining a sound, those releases have helped define a feeling. That’s what we’re really trying to build.
7. Your debut EP is coming together this year. What can listeners expect from the project, and is there another side of Immersed that we haven’t heard yet?
Definitely.
The songs we’ve released so far only show parts of the picture. The EP connects those pieces and introduces a few new ones as well.
There are records that go deeper emotionally, others that hit much harder in a club, and a few that probably won’t sound like what people expect from either of us.
The goal was never to make six singles. We wanted to build a complete listening experience where every track expands the world of Immersed a little further.
8. Immersed also has a very defined visual identity, particularly the use of red and the contrast between intensity and restraint. How important is the visual world to the music and the story you’re building?
For us, the visuals are part of the music. Sometimes we talk about colors, architecture, or movie scenes before we even talk about drums or synths. If we can’t imagine what a song looks like, it’s usually a sign that something is missing.
Red became a natural symbol because it represents intensity without having to explain it. But more than any specific color, we want everything around Immersed to feel cohesive. The music, visuals, artwork, and eventually the live show should all feel like they’re telling the same story.
9. You recently spent time in New York promoting the project and performing together. How has the response to Immersed changed since you first introduced the project?
At first, people were curious because it was Öwnboss and Scorsi working together. Now they’re starting to understand that Immersed is its own thing.
That’s probably the biggest change we’ve noticed. Instead of asking how the project fits into our solo careers, people are asking where Immersed is going next. That’s a great sign because it means the identity is becoming stronger than the names behind it.
10. Looking beyond the upcoming EP, what’s the bigger vision for Immersed? Where would you like to see the project a year from now?
We want people to recognize an Immersed record within thirty seconds, even if they’ve never heard it before. Not because it follows a formula, but because it creates a specific feeling.
The next step is bringing that same identity into the live experience. We want the shows to feel cinematic, immersive, and emotionally memorable instead of simply being two DJs playing great records.
If, a year from now, people see Immersed as its own universe rather than a collaboration between two artists, we’ll feel like we’re on the right path.
