Charlotte de Witte has built a global reputation for her uncompromising, high-octane techno sound, headlining the biggest stages from Tomorrowland to Awakenings and helming her own KNTXT label. With her Époque imprint, she dives into a different passion project — reviving and reimagining iconic club anthems from the ’90s and early 2000s. Her latest release sees her take on Scoop’s 1999 rave classic Drop It, a track ingrained in European nightlife history.

The original, crafted by Belgian producers Daniel Maze and Jan Vervloet, was pure 90s dancefloor joy — a playful mix of rattling drum rolls, cheeky staccato synth riffs, soaring melodic breaks, and that unmistakable vocal cry, all underpinned by a euphoric Europop-electro energy. It was an anthem in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, never straying far from the DJ crates of the era’s biggest parties.

Charlotte’s rework, released August 7th, turbocharges the track for 2025’s festival and club sound systems. She lifts the tempo and reinforces it with an unrelenting techno kick, sharpening the synth riff with an acidic bite and layering in fluttering, juddering motifs that swarm the mix like restless wings. The iconic hooks remain — including subtle nods to Otis Redding’s legendary sample — but the breakdown now hits with towering intensity before plunging into a drop that feels downright invincible.


⭐️ Rating: 9.5/10

🎧Perfect for:

  • Peak-time festival moments
  • Warehouse parties
  • Anyone craving a euphoric throwback with a techno punch

As Charlotte herself puts it: “‘Drop It’ is one of those tracks that never really left the dance floor… This one’s for the dancers, then and now.” And she’s not wrong — this rework pays homage to rave history while firmly planting its boots in the modern techno trenches. It’s nostalgia and adrenaline, fused into one hefty, peak-time weapon.
