Last Friday, Charlotte de Witte took to Orchard Street, New York City and locked down the block outside EXTRA BUTTER for a set unlike any other. She pumped the one-hour guerilla-style performance full of adrenaline for a surprise live performance in the concrete jungle. As if that wasn’t enough, her impromptu appearance was the perfect way to celebrate her new single release ‘How You Move‘ from her Roar EP.
From the beginning, Charlotte set the tone for her performance, opening with ‘Nitro Wordscape‘ by Wehbba. She follows with ‘Atom‘ by Sam Paganini and flows through with ‘Interconnection‘ by Enrico Sangiuliano. Dast’s ‘Parentesi‘ builds up the tension for the next round of sound. With two IDs yet to be identified and tracks from Raho, Mac Declos, KTRSX, and more to connect the set, there’s no better way to spend a day in New York than this. Plus, she also tucks in a few of her own singles ‘Roar‘ and ‘How You Move‘ from KNTXT. Fans thoroughly enjoyed bobbing and fist-pumping to her play, and so did she. You had onlookers even dancing from the fire escapes surrounding the street.
From KNTXT decked out followers to the heroes fanning friends, everyone excitedly moved to Charlotte. Every inch of that street was covered, even if it meant climbing the Link NYC sign. Her sonic journey ebbed and flowed, giving the listeners a soundtrack for the city. She synced with the heartbeat of the city as her tracks pulsated acid and created everlasting mesmerizing energy. Powering through until the end of her set, she did not stop the gut-busting techno, ranging from 140 bpm to 147 bpm for the final finishers. What’s next for Charlotte? She continues her world tour at notorious clubs like Space, Amnesia and festivals such as Grape Festival, Panorama Festival, Creamfields, ARC Festival, Mysteryland, and more.
