Every event, statement or idea has its own circumstances that define the setting in terms of which it can be fully understood. And to fully understand KNTXT, the techno concept guided and hosted by Charlotte de Witte, you must experience it.

KNTXT has already profiled itself as a force to be reckoned with in the Techno landscape. Its objective is a clear one: to serve a quality techno experience driven by both national as international acts, while staying true to a genuine underground spirit.

All of this has resulted in some mind-boggling editions showcasing an impressive all star wall of fame and also receiving praise from several media such as Mixmag, DJ Mag and Red Bull Elektropedia (Best Really Big Party).

Bio
Born (1976) and raised in The Netherlands, Erik Jan van Zanten learned about electronic music and the art of DJ-ing in the late eighties and begin nineties. His passion for this type of music began with the early house genres like: Detroit Techno, ACID house, Euro house, Hardcore, Tech house, Deep house and off course his all-time favorite Techno. In the early 90s TheKoosy mainly played Techno and Dutch Hardcore and did several performances on vinyl under his previous alias "DJ EJ Ugel". In the late nineties EJ changed his name to "TheKoosy" (pronounced as TheKoasy). TheKoosy is a Techno DJ who loves to use tracks with the old rave and acid sounds, he has started producing and is using these (as he calls them dirty) sounds in his tracks. With his high energy tracks TheKoosy knows how to get every person on the dance floor in a state of pounding trance. As he mainly is a Techno artist, TheKoosy sometimes performs with other genres like "Progressive House", "Melodic house & Techno" and "Deep House", all with a little bit of dirtiness wherein you recognize his own style. 

Erik Jan van Zanten is also the creator and founder of 
"KRAFT Premium Pounding Techno" and organizes several Techno events in the Netherlands together with his wife Linda van Zanten. These are noon/evening Peak-Time techno events mainly intended for the 40+ Techno public. You can find more info about "KRAFT Premium Pounding Techno" on there website: https://kraftevents.nl

After an epic first edition in 2011 with the name Revolution 909, the festival grew to be a regular no-nonsense Techno party in the years that followed. The recipe always stayed the same: one stage, an intimate vibe, and quality Techno.

A true artist in every sense of the word, Layton Giordani stands firmly as one of the most popular tastemakers of techno’s new school, with his pioneering musical vision serving as a contemporary voice for the younger generation. Spending years acquiring knowledge from musical greats, the 28 year old possesses a wealth of experience far beyond his years and has now undeniably earned his rank in the upper echelon of techno. With a repertoire that knows no bounds, the dexterous New Yorker has explored a new dimension of scope with each passing year, nurturing a monumental discography that echoes staunch dedication to his craft. Giordani’s palpable successes can be largely credited to his extensive stock of knowledge, garnered through an insatiable work ethic and years spent earning his keep in the industry. Solely focused on his passion for music from the age of just 13, Giordani’s path forever changed at 19 years old after watching Danny Tenaglia perform live at Pacha NYC. Deeply inspired by the formative experience, Layton began to master his craft behind the decks, landing a pivotal residency at Brooklyn’s Output NY that would consequently steam-roll his career into quick maturity. Thanks to the faith they instilled in him, Layton turned heads and began making a name for himself through his deft touch and sharp ear. Seeking further guidance from another of the long-standing greats, Giordani spent countless hours under the mentorship of Adam Beyer, honing his composition talents and studying the cardinal cuts of techno’s rich history. The affiliation resulted in Giordani’s first releases under the Swedish maven’s storied imprints; an EP titled Unspoken on Truesoul followed shortly by Rivington, his input to Drumcode’s celebrated A-Sides series. News of the untapped star’s fresh sensibilities circulated and in 2017, Giordani erupted onto the scene with his aptly-named debut album contribution to Drumcode in the form of Where It Begins. The 12-track LP served as the first seismic indication of his capabilities and subsequently received critical acclaim from artists, new fans and industry specialists alike.
