Paco Wegmann (@pacowegmannofficial) and Jungle Jack link with Brazilian vocalist Rincon Sapiencia on “Mais Forte,” which landed on July 24, 2026, via Loco Dice’s SB Recordings. The track has been floating around as one of those unreleased records that DJs notice before the release plan is fully public, with Loco Dice playing it in his own sets for years before finally bringing it to the label. That kind of slow build gives the single a different kind of context, because this is not a record trying to manufacture urgency around a rollout. It already had a life in the room.
Wegmann comes into the release with more than a decade behind him, a catalog shaped by jacking grooves, and support from Jamie Jones, The Martinez Brothers, Marco Carola, and Pete Tong. Jungle Jack, meanwhile, has been carving out his own lane with music on Organic Pieces, Edible, CUFF, Mood Child, and Circus.

Together, they build “Mais Forte” around rolling, jungle-inspired percussion, crisp rhythmic layers, and Sapiencia’s vocal performance, giving the track enough movement for peak-time sets while still keeping its identity tied to the vocal.
In the interview below, Wegmann and Jungle Jack talk about long-term thinking, sustainable success, and how to stay centered in a culture that rewards speed, metrics, and short-form visibility. Their answers fit the release well, because “Mais Forte” is basically the opposite of a disposable track pushed out for quick attention.
It is a record that stayed in circulation, kept being tested, and eventually landed where it was supposed to.
Interview With Paco Wegmann
How do you keep a long-term perspective in mind when making creative or career decisions?
I try to make every decision from the viewpoint of my future self.
Trends come and go, but identity stays. So I focus on building a sound and a career path that still feels true to me in ten years, not just next month.
Longevity comes from intention, not urgency.
Have there been moments where choosing a slower pace strengthened your trajectory?
Absolutely.
Some of my most important steps happened when I slowed down, refined my ideas, and waited for the right moment instead of rushing releases or gigs. Taking my time has often led to better music, better collaborations, and better opportunities.
What does sustainable success look like to you within this culture?
For me, sustainable success means consistency without burnout. It is about evolving creatively, staying curious, and maintaining a healthy relationship with the industry.
If I can keep making music I am proud of, play shows that energize me, and still feel grounded in my personal life, that is real success.
What habits help you stay grounded beyond short-term validation?
I stay connected to the process rather than the outcome.
Daily studio time, listening sessions, digging for inspiration, and spending time offline all help me stay centered. When you enjoy the craft, you do not depend on numbers to feel confident.
How do you remain centered on your own direction in a metrics-driven environment?
I remind myself that metrics measure attention, not value.
I focus on my artistic direction, my community, and the people who genuinely connect with my work. If I stay aligned with my vision, the right audience always finds me.
Has the rise of short-form content influenced how you shape or release your work?
It has changed how I present my music, but not how I create it.
Short-form content is a useful tool to share ideas and reach new listeners, but the core of my work still comes from long-form thinking: full tracks, full stories, and full experiences.
What insight would you share with artists who want to build something lasting?
Build slowly, intentionally, and authentically.
Do not chase every wave. Choose the ones that align with who you are. Invest in your craft, protect your mental space, and stay patient. Longevity is a marathon of small, consistent steps.
