Power Of Thought EP
Power Of Thought - (6:10) 138 BPM
Pria - (7:00) 137 BPM Hot
Review: For the latest release on her own label, Charlotte de Witte returns to her underground roots. The title track is a dense, rolling techno track peppered with insistent acid lines and a hypnotic vocal refrain. "Pria" also features the sound of the human voice. On this occasion, it's in the form of a chant that unravels over an acid-trance backing that calls to mind 90s classics like "Desert Storm". In a release full of surprises, de Witte leaves the best one to last. "Abada" is an evocative piece of ambient music featuring a spellbinding vocal - further proof of the KNTXT owner's musical evolution.

High Street Remixes EP
High Street (Astrix remix) - (8:24) 138 BPM Hot
Review: Hot on the heels of her Overdrive release, Charlotte de Witte drops two fine remixes of the EP's highlight, the high-octane "High Street". First up is the Amazingblaze version, where acid lines are integrated into epic synth builds and the busy vocal narrative. De Witte has been a supporter of Astrix's tracks in her sets, so it's no surprise that she lent on his talent to deliver the second remix. More understated than the Amazingblaze reshape, it resounds to a pulsating, throbbing groove and a buzzsaw acid riff. Already road tested by de Witte in her sets, like the original, these new versions are sure to have maximum dance floor impact.

Overdrive EP
Overdrive - (6:48) 138 BPM Hot
High Street - (6:11) 138 BPM
Review: Drawing on the influence of hardcore and grounding it in a raw style, "Overdrive" is a stomping, techno affair. The use of breathy vocals also makes it Charlotte de Witte's most accessible track to date. It may indeed be the track that ultimately projects the techno DJ into the mainstream arena. Of course that doesn't mean de Witte has forgotten her underground audience, and this is audible in the inclusion of "High Street". Powered by stomping kick drums and continuing her love of hardcore, she drops the kind of insistent hoover riffs that are sure to light up any dance floor.

Apollo EP
Apollo - (7:00) 138 BPM
Mercury - (7:38) 135 BPM
Review: Apollo provides a reminder that when it comes to big room techno, Charlotte de Witte has few peers. The release gets off to an epic start with "Missing Channel", where pounding drums and acrid 303s provide the backdrop for a ponderous vocal sample - like a fusion of Pump Panel and Jam & Spoon's vocal trance. The title track is similar in approach, with de Witte fusing ghostly vocal samples with distorted kicks and relentless percussion. "Mercury" also features vocals, but this time they augment a menacing undercurrent that de Witte conjures up with grainy 303 lines. Following these intense club tracks, the Belgian powerhouse brings the release to a close with a haunting, outer space-themed ambient jam, "PPC".

Universal Consciousness EP
Satori - (6:19) 136 BPM
Kali - (7:01) 138 BPM
Universal Consciousness - (6:40) 137 BPM
Ahimsa - (6:34) 137 BPM Hot
Review: For the fifteenth release on KNTXT, owner Charlotte de Witte takes the helm. "Satori" is somewhat different to the sound that de Witte is known for; while still commanding the dance floor, the chanting samples and accompanying acid blips stand out from typical big room techno tracks. Similarly, "Kali" draws on the legacy of 90s dance, with de Witte mining the Goa sound to create a buzzing slice of tech-trance. The Belgian producer continues in this vein on "Universal Consciousness", where breathy vocals are fused with squelchy 303, while "Ahimsa" sees de Witte draw on ebm influences to deliver an acid-heavy banger.

Asura EP
Asura - (7:49) 136 BPM Hot
Soma - (7:30) 138 BPM
Stigma - (6:39) 138 BPM
Review: Charlotte de Witte recently remixed the 90s classic, The Age of Love and its influence looms large over her latest EP. The title track has echoes of that sound, with epic trance melodies entwined with tough drums and mesmerising filters. In a similar vein is "Soma", although this sounds like de Witte was inspired by the deeper end of the sound, with dreamy, Eye Q-style hooks fused with a high-paced rhythm. "Stigma" is the toughest track on the release, as the Belgian techno superstar drops a banging drum track, but the trance sound is still audible and its looped melodies sound like a slightly more reserved version of the timeless "Orange Theme".

Formula EP
Doppler - (7:13) 135 BPM Hot
RPM - (6:45) 135 BPM
Formula - (7:39) 135 BPM
Review: Techno powerhouse Charlotte De Witte did not let the pandemic put her off, and she bounces back with a huge new EP. "Doppler" is a pounding, peak-time affair that resounds to dramatic rave hooks and a relentless bass. On "RPM", the KNTXT boss takes influence from 90s acid techno to deliver layer upon layer of gurgling 303 lines that unfold over a pounding rhythm. While De Witte's focus is entirely on the peak time, her approach is more nuanced than most producers in this field - an approach that is audible on the title track's combination of searing acid and intense kick drums.

The World Inside - (6:40) 135 BPM
Common Era - (6:45) 135 BPM
Review: Techno superstar Charlotte de Witte returns to her KNTXT label for a banging release. The title track sets the tone for the EP with its wild, tweaked acid lines and insane rave stabs unfolding over rough kicks, while on "The World Inside", there's a variation of this sound with a ponderous vocal sample set to wild 303 lines. On "There's No One Left to Trust", de Witte channels the energy and intensity of Frankfurt Trax in a contemporary setting, with repetitive stabs combined with bruising kicks. Meanwhile on "Common Era", she drops another banging acid workout and the drum-led "Wahr Ist Sie Dann" confirm her status as big room champion.

What's In The Past - (2:49) 136 BPM
Review: Charlotte de Witte returns to her own KNTXT label with another big room release. Both in its title and sound design, there are dystopian undercurrents at play; "Sgadi Li Mi" features an apocalyptic mixture of gritty acid lines and tribal chants - playing out over one of de Witte's typical tribal rhythms - while on " Return To Nowhere" she fuses haunting looped vocals with a similar rhythmic backdrop. While "Emsemble" appears to summon up lost spirits thanks to its fusion of snaking rhythm and ghostly chants, the closing track, "What's In The Past" offers hope for the future thanks to de Witte's use of mesmerising choral loops.

Vision EP
Out Of Balance - (6:55) 135 BPM
Review: Vision is Charlotte de Wiite's debut on Len Faki's Figure imprint and follows on from her trio of releases in 2019 on KNTXT. The title track echoes the popular techno DJ's club sound, resounding to rough, visceral beats and ticking percussion, while on "Out of Balance", she drops a throbbing, hypnotic groove that pulsates against the backdrop of atmospheric filters. "Unthoughtful" reveals another side to de Witte's musical personality, with slow-motion beats providing the basis for dreamy textures. Figure has tapped Kangding Ray for a remix and he drops a dreamy but powerful take on "Unthoughtful" that steps and swaggers majestically.

Sehnsucht
Sehnsucht (Melodic Theme) - (2:39) 139 BPM
Review: You might have heard Charlotte De Witte under her previous alias of Raving George, but her new solo project under her own name is a harder, more military take on techno. In fact, "Sehnsucht" itself is about as direct and penetrative as you can get with a techno missile, and the same goes for "My Feeling" and "Enough", the latter addinig in some fine vocal chops for added effect. "Den Ganzen Abend" is a muscular Berghain belter, and you also get a beatless, "Melodic Theme" remix of Sehnsucht"; Coyu remix of "My Feeling" adds to the techno beatings.
