Charlotte de Witte returns to her Époque label with a rework of Scoop’s 1999 rave anthem ‘Drop It’. Out now as EPQ003, the release revives a staple of late-90s European dancefloors with a harder, faster techno treatment.
Launched as a home for reworks of historic club tracks from the 90s and early 2000s, Époque offers a focused outlet for de Witte’s deep-digging edits. “‘Drop It’ is one of those tracks that never really left the dance floor,” she says. “It carries the spirit of an era, especially in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Reworking it for Époque felt like a tribute to a timeless moment in rave history. This one’s for the dancers, then and now.”
Originally produced by Belgian duo Daniel Maze and Jan Vervloet, Scoop’s ‘Drop It’ delivered euphoric europop energy with sharp synths, hands-in-the-air melodies, and an unforgettable vocal hook — punctuated by Otis Redding’s Monterey speech sample.
De Witte’s version keeps the heart of the original while toughening its frame: a faster tempo, acidic textures, and a relentless techno pulse bring new force to the track’s iconic riffs and breakdowns.
