Nora En Pure evokes tranquility with her brand new single ‘The Other Side’

By
Metodi Gogovski

Following the release of her club-ready record Invasion Of The Believers, world-renowned DJ and producer Nora En Pure delves back into the softer side of her sound with a reflective original The Other Side on Enormous Tunes.

Conjuring a soothing and blissful soundscape, this restorative creation expertly blends signature piano chords with undulating pads, and floats across a slick percussive arrangement. Completed by smooth vocals, this track provides a breath of fresh air in sonic form.

Speaking about the release, Nora En Pure mentioned:

“In the fast paced world we live in, it’s this peaceful atmosphere that makes me feel a little more at ease. The softer music often comes to life after a heavy few weeks of touring. It gets so busy at times, and hard to keep up with everything, so it’s key to maintain a sense of tranquility inside.

It’s no secret that I think we have gone too far with technology, the way we have become connected non-stop and are constantly available for everything, our views and thoughts influenced by things that often aren’t a reality, let alone of relevance to our individual lives. Remind yourselves often what truly matters in your life, how you spend the most valuable commodity – your time – and what you can be grateful for.”

Nora En Pure – The Other Side

Celebrating her homecoming with two incredible shows, Nora En Pure returned to South Africa for Timeless Festival in Capetown and hosted her first South African edition of Purified in Johannesburg. Touching down in Japan, she is set to play at Club Joule in Osaka and Raise in Tokyo this weekend.

Closing the month back in North America, Nora En Pure will play at The Orange Peel in Asheville, NC on 25 April, a Cenote Sanctuary [venue TBA] in Tulum, Mexico on 26 April, and Project Glow 2024 in Washington, DC on 27 April. Next up on the Purified calendar, Nora En Pure is set to take over Ritterbutzke in Berlin on May 17 and Studio 338 in London on May 18.

Charlotte de Witte unveils adrenaline-fueled track ‘Roar’ via her KNTXT imprint

By
Alex Gelevski

Today, techno’s undisputed titan, Charlotte de Witte unveils her next high-octane, boundary obliterating new single that signals the next evolution of the wildly successful 2023 Overdrive Campaign and tour – “Roar”.

A thunderous rallying cry, “Roar” offers a symphonic emulation of the exhilarating, heart pounding rush at the intersection of breakneck speed and unbridled adrenaline. Out now via the phenomenon’s KNTXT imprint, the techno-banger sets the stage for what promises to be de Witte’s most epic year yet and arrives tandem with her Coachella performances on Saturday, April 13 and April 20th.

An explosive, turbo-charged anthem that pulses with raw power, “Roar” delivers a sonic surge that ignites the senses through its relentless tempo, driving beats and infectious hooks.

Propelling listeners into a captivating listening experience that is as intense as it is enthralling, this fierce masterpiece demonstrates de Witte’s masterful ability to blend genres with a visceral energy that commands attention – the ardent catalyst in her meteoric rise from Belgium’s underground to global phenomenon status.

Charlotte de Witte – Roar

Here’s what Charlotte had to say about the release:

“Roar stands for power, action, adrenaline and a sense of letting go. There is a certain energy that is unleashed every time I play this track. “Roar” quickly became one of the highlights of my sets, and I’m very excited to release it.”

An unstoppable force at the helm of a global movement, de Witte is not just a DJ; she is an icon in a category of her own, overhauling the very fabric of the electronic music scene with unparalleled influence. Harnessing a distinct brand of artistry that knows no categorical bounds, the DJ, producer and record label head has cemented herself as one of the music industry’s most in-demand names at nothing short of breakneck speed.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2010, de Witte has earned a cult-like following and critical acclaim, consistently selling out shows around the world with unprecedented fervor. de Witte is also the founder of KNTXT, a multi-hyphenate, experiential platform that includes a record label, live event arm, apparel label / fashion brand and more.

Through category-blurring collaborations, enthralling performances and unexpected activations around the world, de Witte has built an immersive empire that captures the essence of the underground in a way that resonates with a new generation of consumers, leaving an indelible mark on the industry as a whole.

This was evident through a dynamic campaign and tour for her “Overdrive” EP, which kicked off in NYC with a pop-up shop at Extra Butter, two sold-out nights at the Brooklyn Mirage and a guerrilla-style surprise performance that shut down Orchard Street for hundreds.

Culminating the campaign to Los Angeles, she hosted her first all-night-long, sold-out solo show on the West Coast at the iconic Shrine Expo Hall. Wrapping up the year at Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), she celebrated her latest EP, “Power Of Thought,” with a 3-night KNTXT Turbo Club pop-up, featuring the Charlotada – a daytime hangout in collaboration with Tequila Don Julio.

“Roar” sets a powerful precedent for its corresponding campaign for de Witte as she continues to build on the momentum of a massive 2023 for de Witte that saw several professional milestones for the titan of techno.

In 2022, she was the first techno act (and woman) that closed the Main Stage of Tomorrowland. Last year, de Witte made history once again as the first techno and female artist to headline Miami’s Ultra Music Festival’s Mainstage. She also closed out the Mainstage at Movement Festival, making de Witte the first woman to achieve this recognition in the festival’s 23-year history.

Just as 2023 came to a close, de Witte secured her fourth consecutive title as the World’s Number 1 Techno DJ by DJ Mag.

Fresh off the announcement of his groundbreaking R² Festival where he’ll debut his R² AI live music model, performances at Ultra Miami and Time Warp 30 years anniversary, Techno maven Reinier Zonneveld continues to impress with the release of ‘Bouncing Ball’ together with Hannah Laing and PUSH for a never-before-seen collaborative trio.

‘Bouncing Ball‘ brings with it a high tempo and peak time energy that is quintessential of the Filth On Acid sound. With Reinier Zonneveld‘s crisp production style, the track is a blend of old-school vocal samples and razor-sharp, modern techniques. No stranger to the biggest of stages for any of these three artists, ‘Bouncing Ball’ brings with it a blend of eras and styles to create the powerful brainchild that is sure to crop up in festivals and clubs alike this summer.

Belgian born and now based in New York City, Mike Dierickx AKA PUSH is a producer, DJ and remixer who has been making techno and darker trance for almost three decades. His innate skill for crafting hard hitting, impactful tracks has been instrumental in his longevity with international hits like ‘Universal Nation‘ and ‘The Legacy‘ along the way. With platinum records and numerous accolades throughout his illustrious career, he now joins collaboration for a truly unique single.

Hannah Laing has cemented herself as a true maven of the peak time banger via a series of high-energy features on the likes of Solardo‘s Sola, Patrick Topping‘s TRICK, Jax Jones‘s WUGD and Spinnin’ Records. Having been raised on a diet of Paul Oakenfold, Roger Sanchez and a treasure trove of Hedkandi cassette tapes — all from archives of her rave-loving parents, for the Dundee-born DJ and producer it was almost predetermined that Laing has ended up as the artist she is today.

Metodi Gogovski

Acclaimed UK electronic music duo Prospa set the scene for their upcoming EP with its anthemic lead single and title track ‘If You Want My Loving’, out now on the celebrated CircoLoco Records.

The soulful, acid-tinged, and festival-ready ‘If You Want My Loving‘ signals a new era for Prospa, as the duo pays gleeful homage to the euphoria of the ’90s rave scene. The vocals evoke the raw intensity of ’90s house legends, while vintage synths weave seamlessly through the track, harkening to the era of hardware-driven dance music.

The track’s hypnotic beat and minimalist instrumentation, drawing inspiration from the pulsating basslines of dance classics, serve as the foundation, gradually building into an immersive sonic landscape. The infectious groove, intricate production, and exhilarating sense of release make ‘If You Want My Loving‘ an undeniable masterclass in layering and arrangement.

Prospa – If You Want My Loving

Their upcoming EP If You Want My Loving lands on May 24th and will be the tenth release (CLR 010) from the ground-breaking CircoLoco Records, adding to an already pumping year for the label on the back of Carlita‘s ‘Cash For Love‘.

The two-track release, which additionally will include a bonus track for vinyl only, will also feature the deep, driving, and unstoppably infectious ‘Motions‘.

Prospa says: “As our first release of 2024, this represents a new step in the Prospa sound. A bassline-focused, raw interpretation of classic dance music with a touch of Chicago House, The Chemical Brothers, and disco drum breaks- all under the roof of Prospa’s production- made for the dancefloor in DC10 and beyond.”

Serving as a tantalizing preview of Prospa‘s evolving sound, their first release of 2024, ‘If You Want My Loving‘ not only sets the stage for the eagerly awaited synonymously-titled EP but also marks another high point for CircoLoco‘s illustrious roster.

As anticipation grows for the EP, it’s evident that Prospa is set to deepen their connection with fans and solidify their status as electronic music trailblazers.
