Charlotte de Witte drops new single 'The Heads That Know' ahead of debut LP

The Queen of Techno, Charlotte de Witte, has just announced the release date of her new single 'The Heads That Know' featuring Comma Dee, which lands on October 2nd (on vinyl and digital) via her KNTXT label. 

The last track to drop before the release of her long-awaited debut album, Charlotte de Witte, due out November 7th; fans can pre-save the album now, with the single adding to the anticipation already stoked by earlier releases 'The Realm' and 'No Division'.

On the track itself, Charlotte says: “It’s a poetic dispatch from the shadows. It's for the ones who move with quiet power. This track is a tribute to the underground. It's for the ones who move with certainty. It's for the heads that know.”

Musically, 'The Heads That Know' is fast, rattling techno spiced with spacey sine wave sounds, an acid-laced breakdown, and a hypnotic high synth theme layered over Comma Dee’s rhyming rap. The vinyl release also includes an exclusive acid rework.

The single’s arrival coincides with de Witte’s London city takeover (Oct 2–5), following her sold-out NYC run earlier this year. Five shows in four days across venues like The Shard, Fabric, The Cause and Magazine will celebrate both the release and her deep connection with the city’s rave scene.

‘I'm very excited to launch this single in London,’ Charlotte says. ‘The city has played a massive role in my growth as an artist, and I’ve had many memorable shows there, from the smaller and more intimate venues like Village Underground to Tobacco Dock, Printworks and Drumsheds and many summer festivals. The London crowd is special. I'm looking forward to playing different sets in different settings in your wonderful city to celebrate the launch of the third single of my upcoming album. This will be one for the books.’

'The Heads That Know' is out October 2nd via KNTXT. Her self-titled debut album Charlotte de Witte follows on November 7th - available to pre-save now.
