Charlotte de Witte releases charity EP “Azadi” with AI singer NAVA

Charlotte de Witte has released “Azadi”, a three-track EP featuring NAVA, an AI-generated singer. Out on KNTXT, the release sets Farsi vocals inside techno productions built around resistance, hope and freedom, according to Electronic Groove.

All proceeds go to Femena, an organisation supporting women human rights defenders and feminist movements across the Middle East, North Africa and Asia. NAVA was created by Farbod Mehr, a London-based artist of Iranian origin whose work draws on Iranian cultural heritage, art and technology. Her look borrows from classical Iranian art, while her music and lyrics reinterpret parts of Persian tradition.

De Witte said a friend shared NAVA's story with her and she was drawn to its message of hope that sacrifice leads to a better future, so she reached out to the creator. The title track, “Azadi” (freedom in Farsi), pairs driving percussion and acid textures with melodic vocals. “Omid” (hope) brings restless basslines and layered spoken Farsi vocals, and closer “Tales of the Desert” is more spacious, with melodic synths and sustained chords. De Witte calls the tracks “a small act of resistance”.

Born in Ghent in 1992, Charlotte de Witte is a Belgian DJ and techno producer; her newest studio album, according to MusicBrainz, is the self-titled “Charlotte de Witte” from November 2025. In October mbuzz reported that she closed the first Starlight Festival at the Great Pyramid of Giza and was named brand ambassador for Swiss watchmaker Tudor.
