Although she is only in her twenties, Charlotte has a considerable musical experience behind her. Growing up in Belgium, a country rich in electronic music history, Charlotte discovered electro and techno in her teenage years and was soon captivated by the mesmerizing sounds of clubs around Ghent. She began her career working at a radio station and shortly afterwards participated in a competition that secured her performance at the Tomorrowland Festival. She was only 17 at the time, and her aggressive techno kits caught the attention of Belgium’s biggest promoters.
“I met techno thanks to Len Faki and his Stranger to stability remix for Dustin Zahn. When I first heard it, I just thought – what kind of music is this … this is so incredibly good! “- says Charlotte about her beginnings. Before winning the hearts of audiences and major clubs and festivals, under her own name, the music and underground scene knew her under the alias Raving George, with whom she also had much success. Her single You’re Mine, released in 2015 for Spinnin ‘Records, hits an impressive nearly 25 million views on YouTube.
Charlotte de Witte in a short time became one of the most interesting names of today’s DJ scene, appearing in front of tens of thousands of people on major festival stages, such as Tomorrowland, I Love Techno, Awakenings, Oasis, Sonar, ADE, as well as in percussion terms across clubs in Ibiza, Amsterdam, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, France, North and South America, Asia, Australia… How did she move away from electro to aggressive techno sound, which became her trademark, in addition to performing at major festivals , followed by accolades from world-renowned DJs such as Adam Beyer. Her addictive and impressive productions show serious talent and have found a place on well-known record companies like Drumcode, Novamute, Mary Go Wild, Turbo Recordings, Sleaze Records . Her biography to date is already long: appearing on the Essential Mix series on BBC Radio 1, appearing on the Boiler Room party, DJ Mag’s cover, and continued support from influential media such as Resident Advisor, MixMag and XLR8R.
The first release for her own label, KNTXT, was released by Charlotte on September 27th. This is a Liquid Slow EP featuring collaboration with techno giant Chris Liebing, who will perform on Friday December 28th at the opening of the Central Dance Event, in collaboration with Apgrade. The idea for a joint project was born at last year’s edition of the Awakenings Festival. Charlotte developed KNTXT last year as a concept and series for traveling the world, and even had its KNTXT stage at the Tommorowland Festival. Liebing was one of the main performers at her parties and will also be joining her at the upcoming KNTXT events at this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event as well as at the Sportpaleis party in Antwerp.
Every weekend, Charlotte De Witte presents herself with her explosive sets of dark and uncompromising, aggressive techno.
“Dark music has more emotions. When I play music I try to connect with the audience and tell them the story with the music. Of course, I want them to have a good time, be free and enjoy themselves, but at the same time, they will remember my music long after my set, ”said Charlotte.
