There are few young voices in the contemporary techno scene as distinctive as Charlotte de Witte’s. The young Belgian producer is a fearless composer, artfully mixing harsh and aggressive beats with dark and distorted sounds, creating layered, complex tracks that are dancefloor-ready but also musically interesting.
Q: To those not familiar with you, how would you describe your sound?
I’m a very big fan of stripped techno music. Think 126, 127 aggressive dance floor effective music, but containing – in my case, quite a lot of time – a vocal that gives it a sort of hypnotic, screeching twist.
A: Are there any key pieces of equipment that you are using to define your sound?
I’m a big fan of Native Instruments. I bought their Komplete Ultimate bundle a while ago and it’s a never-ending source of inspiration. Besides that, I could really recommend Waves Soundtoys bundles. I love using their Tremolator for randomising effects and Sie-Q for adding depth and limiting. The latest synthesiser i bought was the Elektron Analog 4, an amazing piece of equipment.
