Belgian techno tastemaker Charlotte de Witte is back with the brand new Sanctum EP containing vocals of Marion Di Napoli. The release arrives the week after this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event and just ahead of her return to LA on November 2nd, where she will play a much anticipated all night long set at City Market.
Thanks to her truly distinct sound, de Witte sits at the frontline of the global electronic music scene. She is a DJ, producer and label head who has reshaped the underground with her blend of hard, dark and driving beats and trance tinged synths. Because of this, she is in demand on all the world’s biggest stages, has picked up millions of global streams, established her label and its events art as a leading source of cutting edge sounds, and hosted her own KNTXT Turbo Club during Amsterdam Dance Event, having already played across Europe, the US, UK all summer long.
This year, KNTXT Turbo Club returned to Amsterdam Dance Event with a 3-day pop-up club at Theater Amsterdam, hosting 4 different parties, featuring 11 artists, welcoming 12,000 visitors, and serving over 2,000 Charlotada cocktails and 20,000 beers. On Saturday, Charlotte de Witte was voted #1 Techno DJ for the fifth consecutive year by DJ Mag.
Her new productions continue to stand out with fresh ideas and spectacular sun designs defining each one. She proves that once more with this new EP which features the alluring vocals of French singer, DJ and producer Marion Di Napoli. “I fell in love with Marion’s voice years ago”, Charlotte explains. “She adds a very mystical touch to all her productions that have the power to bring you in a certain trance on the dance floor. I’m beyond excited about this release, on which every track her angelic voice is present.”
Sanctum kicks off with hard and heavy drums that will rattle warehouse walls as the searching synths add a futuristic feel next to twisted acid lines and the spell bound vocals of the angelic Marion. Fourth Dimension is a moody and driving techno roller with the vocals worked into hypnotic, soulful loops that add human warmth to the hypnotic drums and icy hi-hats. It’s a warm and mystical world of sound then Fugato is an evocative ambient piece with soothing and exotic vocal coos and great cinematic tension.
This is another innovative EP from the one and only Charlotte de Witte.
