We’re still ways away from November, but Belgian Techno Goddess Charlotte de Witte gives us a little treat before the release of her debut album. Now available on her label KNTXT, the lead single ‘The Realm’ is an initial taste of what’s to come from the artist. Besides the new music, she will be coming to New York from May 21st to May 24th – details to follow. ‘The Ream’ is beautifully muscled and put together, skilfully controlled, swift, and decisive like a thoroughbred racehorse. The tightly woven techno beats and acid-spiked synth you can feel in your teeth usher in anthemic spoken lyrics packed with promise – “enter the realm of the unknown”. “The lyrics capture the essence of what I believe music can do. Techno, and by extension clubbing, has always been about more than just dancing for me. It’s about connection, transcendence and exploration. It’s a way of accessing something unseen, something powerful. There’s a tension and release in the structure that mirrors the feeling of letting go, of stepping into something bigger than yourself.” Charlotte de Witte The LP announcement and new single release follow a strong start to the year after hosting events at Belgium’s Flanders Expo, selling over 70.000 tickets across 3 nights – and her spontaneous hometown street party, attended by many thousands.
