Belgian techno sensation Charlotte de Witte will make her rare appearance in New York at the leading nightspot, Avant Gardner this week on Saturday, April 13 from 10 PM - 4:30 AM. She will be headlining the nightlife complex for the first time ever, bringing her heavy-hitting techno style to Brooklyn. Charlotte will be joined by two of Berlin’s most exciting techno artists on the rise, Dystopian favorite Monoloc, and Brazilian-born Victor Ruiz as he makes his New York debut. With three of Europe’s most exciting underground artists performing at the vast industrial space of the Great Hall, this is a night sure to please techno taste-makers in New York.

The rapid rise of Charlotte has seen the young Belgian artist catapult to headlining slots at some of the world’s biggest festival stages in just a few short years. Having already played the decks at Amsterdam Dance Event, Awakenings, Movement, Sónar and Tomorrowland, the 26-year-old’s love for hard and powerful techno has earned her a legion of fans from all corners of the globe. Armed with a string of impressive releases that include tracks on Drumcode and among others, the talented DJ/producer will also be taking her beloved techno event series KNTXT on the road to Paris and London with more 2019 dates still yet to be announced. Known for her dance-floor first mentality, her highly-anticipated Big Apple appearance is sure to not disappoint fans of her uncompromising and headstrong sound. Listen to the playlist of Charlotte’s latest tracks to get a little taste of her talent.

1.) Space Raiders - Eats Everything (Charlotte de Witte Remix)

2.) Closer - Charlotte de Witte

"Closer goes first and is seven spooky minutes of spacious, acid-laced techno. Distant pads bring a cosmic feel and intimate spoken words make the whole thing feel personal yet unsettling as rubbery drums roll on below. Nothing pairs pulsating acid daubs with vocals drenched in reverb as slick drums drive things along. It’s a masterfully sparse yet engaging track that will cast its spell on all who hear it. Lastly, Motion is another absorbing track with deep drums and meandering pads sucking you into a cavernous sound world where alien motifs and acid gurgles work your mind as much as your feet.”

3.) Remember - Charlotte de Witte

The seventh volume of Drumcode’s annual A-Sides compilation hits with no less than 10 debuts for the label, with Charlotte de Witte, ANNA, B.Traits and Scuba’s SCB project, among the collection of topline artists to release their maiden productions on the imprint. Over two decades into its lifespan, Drumcode keeps evolving and excelling, pushing techno forward while remaining wholly respectful of its roots. This reputation for progression was further fueled this summer with its inaugural festival at the NDSM Docklands in Amsterdam, featuring a long list of heavyweights including Nicole Moudaber, Joseph Capriati, Amelie Lens and Ida Engberg, among others. As ever, the A-Sides compilation provides a timely opportunity to showcase the full range of its sonic repertoire, with Adam Beyer scrupulously selecting 22 unreleased tracks that have taken prime position in his sets over recent months. Outstanding all-round talent ANNA kicks off the compilation with ‘Portable Paradise’, a pulsating cut that sets the tone for the top-shelf club cuts to follow. Also entering the debut field with their first ever Drumcode dalliances are B.Traits and Charlotte de Witte. The esteemed Canadian selector offers up ‘I Feel The Music’, a euphonic track that’s been sought after since spring, and the Belgian ballista unlocks a thick-edged club bomb in ‘Remember.’ Leaders of Drumcode’s new brigade, exciting Brazilian Wehbba and British techno alchemist Boxia set out to impress. Wehbba’s straight-talking ‘Just’ hits with an immediate sense of urgency before neck-snap claps strike with force, and Boxia’s ‘Final Call’ elicits physical engagement with mellifluous vocals and soaring pads. Continuously looking to bolster the profiles of emerging talent, Berlin-based producers Weska and Juliet Fox are brought into the fold with equally engaging razor-sharp tracks that are primed to do lasting damage. Other notable highlights include an exhilarating workout from Reset Robot - the most released artist on Beyer’s imprint Truesoul – as he lands on Drumcode for the first time. And tastemaker’s favourite Jel Ford makes a welcome return as he ushers in techno rhythms with bustling breaks in ‘Nightshade.’ Elsewhere, support from label mainstays comes in from Bart Skils, who offers a work of consummate skill in ‘West Of The Moon.’ Alan Fitzpatrick, who’s been heavily featured across the A-Side series, joins forces with Scuba as he operates as his uncompromising alias SCB. The result is a propulsive floor-gripper that testifies to their masterful deftness as co-producers. Formidable duos Dense & Pika and Pig&Dan also contribute with powerful compositions.

4.) The Healer - Charlotte de Witte

@charlottedewittemusic continues to establish herself as a driving force on the contemporary techno scene with The Healer, her second EP on seminal British imprint @novamutenovamute.

Charlotte’s fresh and innovative sound is immediately laid bare on opener ‘The Healer’, with eight minutes of spine-tingling, hypnotic techno. The sleek drums and icy hi-hats soon cast their spell, as well-crafted synths unfold up top to bring real emotion. Released on 12" June 8th Tracklist: 01. The Healer 02. Silence 03. Kuda 04.

Also entertaining the night is one of Berlin’s most respected producers, Monoloc. Having charted releases on Afterlife, CLR, and Dystopian, Monoloc has also played some of the world’s most iconic venues and festivals including fabric, Awakenings, and Melt, among many others.

Up and coming rising DJ and producer, Victor Ruiz will be making his New York debut.
