More Info:

The second release from the Epoque label is a major one, featuring Niels Van Gogh's 1998 hit single 'Pulverturm', which earned gold certifications in Belgium and South Africa and climbed into the Top 10 in the charts of many European and worldwide countries. The esteemed Brazilian techno artist ANNA delivers a rework, adding her signature touch to this iconic track. 'In 2023, while preparing for my Tomorrowland set, I was exploring iconic tracks that resonated in Belgium and could be perfect for an edit. I chose 'Pulverturm' for it's powerful vocals and strong melody', says ANNA. 'What started as a quick edit turned into a labor of love, and I was so happy with the outcome that I wanted to try to release it as an official rework. We were in conversation with Niels Van Gogh when I sent the track to Charlotte de Witte, who loved it. She introduced me to Epoque, and we decided to release the rework together. It's been a year since I crafted this rework, and I've never had so many artists from various genres, Techno, House, Melodic Techno, Tech House, Hard Techno, requesting a track like they did with my rework of 'Pulverturm.' It's incredibly exciting to finally share it with the world!' Charlotte de Witte adds: 'I fell in love with ANNA's masterfully crafted touch on 'Pulverturm' the moment she sent it to me. Being a bit of a sucker for legendary tracks that have left a deep mark on the history of electronic music myself, this one just hits all the right spots. It's been a long and challenging road to make it happen but I'm incredibly proud and honored to have Niels Van Gogh's timeless classic 'Pulverturm', seen through ANNA's eyes, for the second release of Epoque. A label we founded earlier this year to honor nightlife, club culture and dancefloor legacies.' The original 'Pulverturm' is a twitchy and hypnotic cut with trance infused synths over the top of the rumbling drums. There is progressive energy in the melodies and plenty of emotion in the vocals. ANNA's version is driving and emotive with sensual vocals and bright, trance infused chords over rolling drums that bring the power.
