CHARLOTTE DE WITTE 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Having spent much of the last two years delivering wild, rave-ready outings, Charlotte De Witte now finds herself sat atop the global techno tree. That wasn't the case when she first released Weltschmerz on Tiga's Turbo label way back in 2015. It was an assured debut, as this timely reissue reiterates. Deeper, hazier and quietly melodic, the five tracks on show tend towards the hypnotic rather than the wild, acid-fired sound she's become famous for. Highlights include the ghostly title track, where deep melodies and intergalactic chords rise above a lo-fi techno beat, the after-hours haziness of 'Damage Control', and the stripped-back, lo-fi techno oddness of 'Relatives of None'.
