Immersed: Inside the World Öwnboss and Scorsi Are Building Together

What began as a remix has evolved into one of the most intriguing new collaborative projects in electronic music. Immersed, the duo formed by Öwnboss and Scorsi, returns with their new single "The Last Time," the latest chapter in a rollout that has already introduced listeners to “Tantra” and “Now You See Me” ahead of their debut EP.

But for both artists, Immersed was never something carefully planned. It happened naturally, almost accidentally, when the chemistry between them became impossible to ignore.

“It didn’t start as a ‘project’ at all, it was just a moment,” they explain. “We were getting closer, hanging out more, and I had this early version of what would become the Atom remix. I showed it to Öwnboss and he instantly connected with the idea of flipping a classic, so we jumped into it together without overthinking.”

That remix, their rework of Atom by Nari & Milani, quickly found support across the scene, but the real turning point came in the booth rather than the studio.

“When we finished it, we both knew it felt special,” Scorsi recalls. “He started testing it in his sets, and at one of those gigs, he brought me into the booth just to help push the track. But something unexpected happened there, the energy between us felt different.

“The next day he texted me saying, ‘there’s something here, we should take this further.’ And that was it, that was the real starting point.”

From there, the duo moved quickly. “We kept creating, track after track and suddenly we had a sound, an identity, and a body of work. At that point, it wasn’t a question of if this was a project, it was just about what we were going to call it.”

That sense of identity sits at the heart of Immersed. Their music is designed for the dance floor, but not in a one-dimensional way. Emotion and impact, melody and weight, euphoria and aggression all coexist inside the same records.

When asked how sound design can tell a story without words, their answer reveals the philosophy behind the project.

“Different textures provoke different feelings; we just want to try and make it happen at the same time. We think big contrasts create different impacts and experiences.”

They continue: “A super saw synth hitting higher on the spectrum, completed by a fat filtered Reese, combined with a tiny snare and a big punchy kick gives you both euphoria and heaviness. It’s like you can either jump like crazy or just bounce your head with the classic bass face.”

Ultimately, they want listeners suspended in that emotional tension. “We want that experience for the crowd, feeling like, ‘I don’t know what this is, I don’t know how to react but I’m loving it.’”

Their latest single, The Last Time, may sound effortless, but arriving at that final version took patience and obsession.

“Yes, Scorsi is obsessed with the technical part,” Öwnboss laughs. “We tried a few (more like 20 mix downs) versions, it got to a point we even swapped the masters on the DSP after the release.”

Yet they insist it was never about losing perspective. “To be honest, before it got to that we tried a few different drops and vocal arrangements. It was really testing it out more than overthinking. The formula was there since the first version. It was just a matter of fine tuning it.”

That perfectionism is matched by the emotional core of the record, which is driven by the vocal performance from Julia Church.

“We received Julia’s vocal and we both were like ‘OMG we need to use this.’ Definitely inspired by the vocal to come up with the production, we could feel every bit of mood and intention variation on it and wanted to translate that into the complete record. Maybe that’s why it took us so long.”

Part of what makes Immersed compelling is the contrast in the duo themselves. Öwnboss arrives with major global recognition, while Scorsi brings years of underground credibility and genre-rooted experience.

“We come from quite distinct musical backgrounds,” they explain. “Scorsi’s roots are in bass music, with drum & bass releases dating back to the early 2000s as C.A.B.L.E., and on the last decade expanding into trap and bass house. Öwnboss, on the other hand, has always leaned toward melodic, club-focused productions, with massive mainstream success.”

What connects them is simpler than genre labels. “What connects us is the groove and a shared obsession with the dance floor. That became the foundation, merging our strengths through sound design, sample choices and a willingness to experiment.” 

Those differences also shape how they work in the studio. “Öwnboss is the good energy guy. He has a better judgement for melodies, club arrangement and always pushes it to the vibe side. Scorsi is the production madness. Obsessing with sound design and unique bits of variations.”

And rather than clash, that dynamic pushes them forward. “We both push each other with those aspects to try and have something more original. It’s super easy working together.”

For producers so focused on detail, one of the hardest parts of creating music is restraint. “It’s super easy, when you’re working on it, to just load way too much stuff and get attached to it,” they say. “You listen to it over and over and get more used to it, it’s so hard to decide later on what to remove.”

“We’re thankful for having each other. We always go overboard with elements, and there’s always one of us saying, ‘that needs to go,’ ‘that’s too much.’”

Even creative blocks are treated less as endings and more as pauses. “We never give up an idea. If it’s started one way, it’s because there’s something there. So, we just save it for a later time.”

Although both artists have successful careers individually, they see Immersed as something distinct, not just musically, but experientially. “The centre stage is the music,” they say. “It’s different from what we play individually. And we plan to create a more cohesive experience between music and visuals as well.”

There are hints of something bigger coming. “We have some tricks to be implemented, but it’s a bit soon to open that box yet.”

As for where the project belongs most naturally? They refuse to be boxed in. “We can easily circulate between dark warehouses and main stage. Our records itself range from rave energy to mainstream. And since we both were DJs before becoming producers, we can easily adapt our sets for each occasion.”

One of the most striking parts of Immersed is its visual identity, built around the colour red. For them, that choice is deeply connected to the music itself. “It represents exactly what we’re trying to create: intensity with intention. It’s not chaos, it’s controlled energy. It’s that balance between emotion and impact. What you feel and what you physically react to on the dance floor.”

And sonically? “That translates into tension, contrast, and movement. We build melodies that connect emotionally, but underneath that there’s pressure. Basslines, drums, energy pushing forward. Nothing is linear. Everything breathes, evolves, and exists with purpose.”

In one sentence, they define the entire project: “That contrast between beauty and weight is what defines our sound.”

Originally, the plan was modest. Release a few records, keep things moving and return focus to their solo careers. But the momentum changed everything. “In the beginning, it wasn’t meant to be anything big, just a space to release a few records and keep our main projects moving as usual. But the momentum changed everything.”

Now, Immersed has become a six-track debut EP, with more already waiting behind it. “The project started building its own identity, and turned into a 6-track debut EP, and we have a lot more music already in the pipeline.”

So, what do they hope that first body of work says about them? “That we’re doing this out of love for the music and for the culture. There’s so much in dance music and we love so many branches and eras of it, we just wanted to put everything in one big pot and come out with something different.”

And if the name Immersed means something specific one year from now? Their answer is immediate.

“Guaranteed fun time.”
