A1. Missing Channel A2. Apollo B1. Mercury B2. PPC Belgian techno powerhouse Charlotte de Witte has unveiled brand-new EP ˜Apollo™, out 14th October on her own KNTXT label. An uncompromising collection of club tracks, ˜Apollo™ opens with ˜Missing Channel™, a turbo-charged acid techno cut pairing pumping kick drums with squelching 303s. Next up, the title track shifts things into warehouse techno territories, juxtaposing bludgeoning kicks with haunting, ethereal vocals, while ˜Mercury™ cultivates a striking interstellar energy. Closing things out, ˜PPC™ is by far the record™s most experimental track, a shimmering, beatless creation laced with samples of space transmissions.

Heavy, breakneck club fodder, ˜Apollo EP™ is Charlotte de Witte at her bold and brilliant best.
