Marion Di Napoli launches first release on Charlotte de Witte’s RPM (KNTXT) imprint

Her debut solo EP ‘Fade Away’ EP out now - Get It Here

Producer/DJ/distinctive vocalist Marion Di Napoli (formerly known as underground artist La Kajofol) releases her debut solo EP 3-tracker ‘Fade Away’ on Charlotte de Witte’s RPM (by KNTXT) label, out now.  

Marion’s 2024 feature EP with de Witte, ‘Sanctum’, for which she provided original vocal samples, established her own unique blend of techno with emotional lyricism (aka ‘Mystical Techno’) as welcome at the top techno events (ADE, Dour Festival, Insane Festival, Boomtown Fair, Fusion Festival, Monegros Festival…) Her swift success comes from meticulous production skills, and processing her own enchanting voice to weave a textural interplay.

Says Charlotte, ‘I'm incredibly excited to welcome Marion Di Napoli back to KNTXT, this time with three original tracks that truly showcase her unique sound. After having her as a featuring artist on ‘Sanctum’, ‘Fourth Dimension’, and ‘Fugato’, it's amazing to see her take center stage with this release. Marion is an incredibly talented producer and a multifaceted DJ, and I'm proud to support her on this journey.’

‘Fade Away’ EP:  Between lyrics sung by her entrancing voice and hypnotic melancholy, a dark atmosphere reigns, supported by heavy, powerful kicks. Of her intentions, Di Napoli explains: ‘This was a blank canvas to fill with my emotions, to allow myself to disappear, fade away into a world where only emotions rule, in order to truly exist - a form of transitional catharsis. Each track tells a story filled with both shadow and light.’

‘Fade Away’: the title track’s fast techno percussion is highlighted by chopped choral riffs, while Marion’s clear, rich voice soars over melodic synth, giving a positive, upbeat feel, as befits the ‘groove combined with lyricism’ of her mystical techno. ‘Let Go’ is more stripped back, without sung lyrics. After a long, cinematic vocal break, the drop brings a clean, minimalist yet powerful kickbass, punctuated by airy vocal chops.  ‘An invitation to dive deep into my world, where you have to ‘let go’’. ‘Elixir’: an ‘outro’ fragment of her musical inspirations – orchestral drumming, animalistic vocalisations, ominous hoover reverb swoops, then her lone voice, haunting and clear. ‘Like the final chapter of a book where you slowly ease back into reality.’

‘This EP marks a turning point in my career, like my name change, where I want to fully embrace my identity and creativity—with no filters, and no limits.’ - Marion Di Napoli
