Belgian techno artist Charlotte de Witte and her husband, fellow DJ and producer Enrico Sangiuliano, have announced their separation after four years of marriage. The high-profile electronic music couple, who tied the knot in February 2022 after getting engaged in 2021, shared the news publicly via social media, assuring fans that their bond through music remains unbroken.
“We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful years we have shared together, both on and off the dance floor,” the couple stated in a joint message posted to their respective channels. “Even though our paths are parting romantically, we remain forever connected by music.”
The announcement marks the end of one of contemporary techno music’s most prominent power relationships. Both artists command massive global followings, routinely headlining major festivals worldwide, including Tomorrowland, Awakenings, and Time Warp, while running their respective independent record labels, KNTXT and NINETOFIVE.
A Partnership Built on Techno and Entrepreneurship
Charlotte de Witte, a native of Ghent, Belgium, and Italian-born Enrico Sangiuliano built a deeply collaborative personal and professional relationship over the years. Their romance blossomed within the international club circuit, culminating in a wedding ceremony in February 2022. Beyond their individual DJ careers, the pair frequently crossed musical paths, notably releasing a collaborative remix of classic trance track “The Age of Love” in 2021, which became a massive anthem across global festival stages.
Throughout their relationship, the duo managed demanding international tour schedules while simultaneously expanding their respective business ventures. De Witte’s KNTXT label evolved from an event brand at Antwerp’s Fuse club into a globally recognized imprint and fashion line. Sangiuliano’s NINETOFIVE label similarly established itself as a forward-thinking platform for melodic and peak-time techno.
Music Community Responds to the Separation
Fans and fellow figures within the electronic music community flooded social media posts with messages of support following the announcement. Industry colleagues praised the couple for handling their separation with mutual respect and dignity, noting their continued influence on the modern techno landscape.
Neither artist has indicated any disruption to their upcoming touring commitments or label operations. De Witte is scheduled to continue her extensive global festival circuit, while Sangiuliano maintains his active production and performance calendar.
What Lies Ahead for Both Artists
As both producers pivot to the next chapters of their careers, their professional independence remains firmly intact. KNTXT and NINETOFIVE will continue operating as separate entities, with upcoming releases and events scheduled through the remainder of the year.
