Push - Universal Nation (Charlotte De Witte Rework) (Blue Vinyl) [Bonzai Classics]

Charlotte de Witte kicks off 2024 with a new label and a version of one of techno's most iconic tracks.

Today, techno force of nature Charlotte de Witte presents a two-part homage to an iconic era of Belgium’s underground club scene with the launch of an archival label within her KNTXT imprint and a rendition of one of techno’s most emblematic tracks of all time. Appropriately titled “Époque,” this sonic time capsule aims to simultaneously preserve and reimagine the spirit, sounds, and club culture of the late 90s and early 2000s for a new generation. As the label head, de Witte will release her own version of the Belgian techno classic, M.I.K.E Push’s “Universal Nation” on February 9.

Released in 1998 and originally penned by M.I.K.E. Push as a B-side for a different project, "Universal Nation" swiftly cemented its reputation at the turn of the century as an iconic and defining track in electronic music history. Reimagined through de Witte's high-energy lens, this version is an homage to one of her all-time favorite classics.
