Five-tracker out on Charlotte de Witte’s RPM by KNTXT on March 26^th– Get it HERE

Techno-trance exponent JackRock returns to Charlotte de Witte’s RPM by KNTXT with his solo debut on the label, five-track EP ‘Just A Feeling’, out March 26^th.

The new EP follows club favourite ‘Soulcatcher’, & ‘In The Dark’- #4 best-selling Trance release of 2024, #11 of Beatport’s entire BeatStats archive - both on RPM as collabs with Balthazar while igniting stages across 30+ countries, amassing millions of streams.

JackRock uses the driving energy of techno and the uplifting ethereal melody of trance to craft emotional storytelling experiences. On his new EP, he says: ‘As always, my tracks come from triggered strong emotions you can feel radiating from them. Five different tracks, five different stories to experience through soul, body and heart. Power, joy, sorrow, darkness and light united in my techno-rave drive.’

Says Charlotte de Witte: ‘I’m very happy to welcome JackRock back on the label, now presenting his first solo EP. ‘Just A Feeling EP’ reflects his versatility as a producer, delivering tracks with a consistent energy that really pulls you in. I’m very excited for everyone to hear it.’

Title track ‘Just A Feeling’: superspeed beats & bassy arps carry a robotic spoken vocal, acid spurts, spacey swoops & mysterious whispers. A breakdown female vocal ushers in an acid-twinged, frantic, tension-building melody. ‘Generation X’ is a sparser soundscape, a complex narrative where moods alternate & mix; melodic acid synth duels with choral vocals for an orchestral effect. ‘Limerance’ sizzles with hi-hat & a deep rumbling theme before a sweet vibrato female vocal emerges through spacey acid FX. ‘Demons Within’ has an ominous yet upbeat vibe, with high staccato stabs and fizzing acid, while a male vocal intones ‘the only fight I’m willing to win is the one against the demons within’. ‘Can We Make It Right’ has a slower, more deliberate beat, as robotic stabs, chopped fuzzy notes & string synth arps vie with a 90s feel melodic theme and layers of melody getting fuller & fatter… organic vs machine.
