(21/50) Belgian techno titan Charlotte de Witte is one of the scene's biggest draws right now. This new EP on her own KNTXT label sees her once again draw parallels between the big, bold techno she makes and the euphoric rush of 90s trance. Right from the off she weaves bright, hands in the air chords into bulky, unrelenting drums to hypnotic effect. It is simple but well-designed stuff that will have a huge impact on the large crowds she plays to. 'Soma' is more intense, with the drums pushed to the front and incendiary hi-hats layered in next to spooky distant pads. 'Stigma' closes out with a textbook acid cut.
