Charlie Powell

Charlie Powell has come to represent upbeat rhythms and limitless excitement as the voice of Capital Dance’s main breakfast show, which wakes thousands of listeners all throughout the UK every day. But this is the story of a DJ whose path from teenage bedroom mixers to commanding festival stages has resulted in her much-awaited first LP, Act A Fool, not just another narrative about a radio personality.

Act A Fool, which was released on Toolroom Records, one of the most esteemed labels in electronic music, is a statement rather than merely a song. Powell’s place not only as a tastemaker but also as a creator inside the genre she loves so profoundly thanks to its sensuous grooves, vintage synth stabs, and vocal hook full of attitude. Let us explore what makes this release—along with the woman behind it—so unique.

What then distinguishes Act A Fool exactly? The track takes little time from first gaining to gaining. The bassline from the first bars welcomes listeners with a new yet rooted bumpiness. The vintage stabs recall humid bases and joyful events under strobes, harking back to the golden years of club culture.

The vocal sample, a feisty, character-filled hook that gives the music layers of personality, is the actual star of the show though. The encouragement of dancers to let go and embrace their inner wild side is lighthearted yet forceful.
