There is a particular relationship between music and movement. Some tracks simply occupy space on the dancefloor. Others create a feeling, change the atmosphere and make people stay a little longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That space is where WITZ has been building her identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WITZ is the artistic project of Brazilian DJ and producer Fernanda Witis, a Rio de Janeiro native who has spent more than a decade building her presence in electronic music. Her sound moves through House Music, Afro House and Brazilian musical influences, bringing together groove, organic percussion, energy and a strong connection to the dancefloor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, that journey enters a new chapter with \u201cThe Light \/ Keep Burning\u201d, her debut release on Nothing To Prove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WITZ\u2019s story is deeply connected to the musical culture of Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout more than a decade in music, Fernanda has performed at important clubs and events across Brazil, including D-Edge Rio, D-Edge S\u00e3o Paulo, Sea Club Ilhabela and the traditional S\u00e1bado Dre Tarde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These experiences helped shape an artist who understands the dancefloor not simply as a place to perform, but as an essential part of her language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In her sets, different references meet around one common element: groove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brazilian music finds its way through percussion and organic textures, while House and Afro House provide the structure for an experience built around movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WITZ\u2019s evolution has never been limited to the DJ booth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a producer, Fernanda has released music through labels including Lemon Drops, Beeside Records and Groove Society. Her track \u201cLivre Pra Sambar\u201d reached #63 on Beatport\u2019s Afro House chart, while \u201cCopacabana\u201d received attention on Traxsource, expanding the project\u2019s reach beyond Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2026, WITZ reached another important moment in her career with an official remix of \u201cZ\u00e9 do Caro\u00e7o\u201d, the iconic song by Brazilian artist Leci Brand\u00e3o, produced alongside Dr\u00e9 Guazzelli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The remix was officially authorized by Universal Music, bringing WITZ\u2019s electronic language into dialogue with one of the most recognizable pieces of Brazilian musical culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is another example of something that has become increasingly present throughout her work: the ability to connect Brazilian references with contemporary electronic music without losing the feeling that makes them unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is another side to WITZ that exists beyond the records and the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fernanda is the founder of Sons Solares, an event brand created around music, the Rio lifestyle, outdoor gatherings and dancefloor culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is also part of H.I.T.A (House Is The Answer), a female collective focused on strengthening the presence of women in electronic music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together, these projects help reveal the world surrounding WITZ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a world shaped by the city she comes from, the people she brings together, the music she plays and the spaces where those elements meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is from this universe that \u201cThe Light \/ Keep Burning\u201d arrives on Nothing To Prove on October 2, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two-track release explores House Music through groove, vocals, synths and different levels of intensity, revealing another dimension of WITZ\u2019s sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Light\u201d opens the release with an uplifting House direction, built around infectious grooves, captivating synths and a distinctive female vocal. There is a sense of movement throughout the track, creating an atmosphere that feels bright without losing its connection to the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKeep Burning\u201d takes a deeper and more sensual route. A prominent bassline, captivating vocals and tension-building synths gradually pull the track forward, while the interplay between kick and bass keeps its connection to the dancefloor physical. Guitar-inspired synth elements add swing and give the groove another layer of character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rather than simply presenting two tracks, the release captures an artist exploring different spaces within a language that has been part of her journey for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WITZ\u2019s debut on Nothing To Prove brings together two worlds connected by a shared relationship with club culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On one side, an artist shaped by Rio de Janeiro, Brazilian musical references and a deep understanding of groove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other, a label built around artists with their own identity and music that exists beyond the pressure to follow trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Light \/ Keep Burning\u201d marks the beginning of that connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For WITZ, it is another step in the development of a project that continues to expand across the booth, the studio and the wider electronic music community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For WITZ, this release is another step in the evolution of a project that continues to expand across the booth, the studio and different spaces within electronic music culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Nothing To Prove, it marks the arrival of an artist whose language is deeply connected to the dancefloor, but reaches far beyond it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
