Charlie Void Unleashes High-Voltage Dance-Pop with “Swipe It”

Cape Town born pop auteur, songwriter, and producer Charlie Void has returned with his latest single, Swipe It, a track that cements his reputation at the cutting edge of modern Dance-Pop. Known for blending the emotional architecture of pop with the high-voltage pulse of contemporary EDM, Charlie crafts music that sits between electro-pop, dance-pop, and cinematic electronic production.

Originally rooted in pure pop songwriting, Charlie’s creative evolution has led him to explore EDM’s subgenres, not to leave pop behind, but to expand its boundaries. His writing keeps the melodic clarity and storytelling of classic pop, while his production embraces the textures, build-ups, and energy of electronic music. This combination has earned him recognition from independent publications, with one describing him as “the auteur of pop” for his ability to conceptualise, write, and produce his own distinctive sound.

Swipe It is Charlie Void’s unapologetic dive into high-voltage Dance-Pop, sitting at the crossroads of Electropop and commercial EDM. The track is built for impact, driven by a four-on-the-floor pulse, razor-sharp synthetic drums, and a fully electronic soundscape that highlights Charlie’s skill as both a vocalist and pop creator. The hook, delivered with slick, processed clarity, was recorded in under thirty minutes in a home studio, showing his instinctive writing style and efficient workflow.

Lyrically, Swipe It takes a satirical look at digital-age indulgence, chronicling the rush of reckless spending and the crash of sudden financial reality. By combining polished electronic production with sharp pop sensibility and narrative wit, the track reinforces Charlie Void’s status as an emerging force in Dance-Pop and Electropop.

In addition to his own music, Charlie writes and produces for other artists, bringing the same hybrid sensibility to collaborations. His work is defined by bold hooks, sleek synth landscapes, and a personality that bridges club culture with emotional introspection. With a growing catalogue and an expanding international presence, Charlie Void stands as one of South Africa’s most compelling emerging voices, shaping a modern, globally informed vision of pop.

Swipe It is out now and is a perfect example of Charlie Void’s ability to merge infectious pop melodies with the relentless energy of electronic music, delivering a track that is both witty and irresistible.
