Belgian rising star Charlotte de Witte has announced that she will be launching a new label, titled KNTXT. She already hosts a party series and a radio show under the same name.
de Witte explains, “It’s been humbling and exciting to see KNTXT grow as party concept and radio show over the past 5 years and now I’m thrilled to announce its expansion with the launch of this new label” says de Witte. “A label has always felt like the logical and natural next step for KNTXT, both as a place to shine the light on the music that I love and as a home for my own productions."
She continues, "I’m looking forward to sharing the sounds of my favourite artists, some who’ve been around for a while and others who are just starting out, but all of whom represent a sound that I really love. In time, I hope the label will become a respected breeding ground and safe haven for unique talent, both new and established, as well as the main output for my own material.”
The first release on the label, as yet unrevealed, is slated for September.
de Witte and her KNTXT party concept will take to Tomorrowland in June, Awakenings in October and Antwerp's Sportpaleis in November, where she will be joined by Chris Liebing, Dax J, Imogen, Marcel Dettmann and Ben Klock (the latter two will play a back-to-back set).
