Charlotte de Witte unveils new single “ROAR”

Charlotte de Witte is a dominant force in techno, renowned for her distinct, high-energy sound. She’s propelled the once-underground genre into the mainstream through her haunting, “dark and stripped-back” style. With nearly 3 million monthly Spotify streams, she’s among the most listened-to electronic artists globally. Beyond her music, Charlotte founded KNTXT, a platform spanning record label, live events, and concept shop, shaping the future of techno culture.

Charlotte’s journey from the depths of Belgium’s underground scene to becoming a beacon of the techno realm is truly remarkable. Her magnetic DJ sets only scratch the surface of her impact; as the mastermind behind KNTXT, she has reshaped the landscape of electronic music. Through her record label, live events, and fashion brand, Charlotte has forged a multifaceted empire that embodies her unique approach and profound influence in the industry.

This morning, April 11, Charlotte de Witte launched her new single “ROAR” via KNTXT as a kickoff to her new campaign, an evolution on the Overdrive Campaign from 2023 that was encapsulated with one of her All Night Long edition shows in Los Angeles. This high-octane techno track comes just ahead of her highly anticipated performances at Coachella (April 13th and April 20th). Making this single the perfect opportunity to set the tempo on what appears to be another epic year for the techno icon.

“ROAR stands for power, action, adrenaline and a sense of letting go,” said de Witte. “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.”

“ROAR” is an explosive track that is packed with raw power and energy throughout our numerous listens. The driving beats that kick in after the first “four, three, two, one” really sets the tone for what is next to come. A danceable drum pattern enters thereafter, and is followed by a classic booming bassline, one that we all have come to expect when listening to a Charlotte de Witte track.

The vocal used creates an infectious hook that brings the song together completely before booming one last time with an even bigger drop into the dance section. “ROAR” is another showcase of Charlotte de Witte’s talent for blending genres together with visceral energy to make an extremely listenable track. This track is one that will be played in sets globally for some time to come.

Fans are already revving up and awaiting Charlotte de Witte’s arrival at various festivals including Coachella, Electric Forest, Creamfields, and one of our personal favorites, ARC Music Festival. We are thrilled to see all of the energy surrounding Charlotte de Witte’s new campaign, and cannot wait for the opportunity to experience it ourselves in person later this year!

While we patiently await our turn, we will be streaming “ROAR” in the meantime. Be sure to check it our yourself below, via Spotify.

Hi! My name is Josh and I have been attending concerts and festivals of all kinds for over a decade. While I can appreciate all music in some capacity, my true passion lies within various subgenres of metal, edm, and kpop. Late fall of 2022 I decided I wanted to be better about documenting some of those experiences. So what better way than to pick up a camera and start capturing some content to share with the world? The journey has been fun thus far, and I can’t wait to see what things I will have to share for you as it continues. I hope we cross paths at a show soon!
