CARLITA ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM TELEPATHY ARRIVING NOVEMBER 6 VIA NINJA TUNE

SHARES NEW SINGLE “ONE MORE DANCE” 

Turkish-Italian producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist Carlita has announced her sophomore album, Telepathy, arriving November 6 via Ninja Tune. The announcement is accompanied by the new single “One More Dance” with Stevie Appleton (one half of duo Collect 200), offering the latest glimpse into a record that widens the scope of Carlita's club-rooted sound through songwriting, production, and an ambitious cast of collaborators.

Telepathy, as Carlita describes it, is "thinking about somebody or something with no attempt at possessing that thing, only for it to come into your life anyway." The album is about the kinds of communication that never get spoken: the invisible thread running between a person and their past, between lovers, between someone and the world around them. The record is feminine, driving and groovy, with a dance-pop subtlety as the throughline across the tracks.

Carlita’s records work like perfume: they return to you later, attached to a person or a memory. Telepathy moves a room but stays with you long after, sitting somewhere between a pop record and a night spent dancing in a smoky basement without compromising either side. The album features contributions from SOFI TUKKER, Justine Skye, Malive, Stevie Appleton, Paige Cavell and Cleo Simone. 

The world around the album was developed with creative director Pedro Damasceno (@pedrose), and the cover and album photographs were shot by photographer Rafael Pavarotti (@rafaelpavarotti_), whose recent work includes Charli xcx, Madonna, Tyla and Addison Rae. The imagery lands between intimacy and editorial finesse. The cover evokes magical realism, leaning into the invisible threads that tie the spaces between what we understand. It extends Carlita's long-running relationship with fashion, pushing a subtle yet idiosyncratic creative universe that follows her last album, Sentimental, and its cover shot by Louis Browne (@louis_browne). 

Carlita has performed for YSL Beauty, collaborated with brands including Louis Vuitton, Chanel and FENDI, and appeared in Vogue Italia, GQ Italia and L’Officiel. Her Senza Fine event series has further brought music, fashion and art together through immersive experiences staged around New York Fashion Week.

Telepathy’s first single, “Patchwork” with Paige Cavell, earned Carlita her first BBC Radio 1 Hottest Record, while “Manhattan,” with SOFI TUKKER, became her first BBC Radio 1 B List record. Together, the releases have marked a significant new chapter for Carlita, carrying her club-rooted sound further into the pop landscape ahead of the album.

1. Intro (Bri Baby Mix)
2. WYWD (with Justine Skye)

The announcement follows Carlita’s busiest touring year to date, with 2026 appearances at Coachella, Sónar, Outside Lands, Tomorrowland, Distortion Copenhagen, DC10 Ibiza, Surf Lodge and Circoloco. Upcoming dates include ARC Music Festival in Chicago, CRSSD in San Diego, Depot Mayfield in Manchester and EDC Colombia in Medellín, alongside headline performances across Europe, North America and Latin America.

Telepathy arrives November 6 via Ninja Tune. “One More Dance” with Stevie Appleton is out now.

Since opening its doors in 2021, The Concourse Project has been the home of Seismic Dance Event, with both the festival and venue spearheaded by Austin-based RealMusic Events. The independently operated venue has become a cornerstone of the city’s electronic music scene, pairing a sprawling indoor-outdoor footprint with world-class sound and large-scale production. Its growing international profile has earned The Concourse Project continued recognition on DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs list, currently ranking #3 in the U.S. and #31 worldwide.

Seismic takes shape across three distinct stages, each offering its own lens into the festival’s musical identity. The indoor Volcano and outdoor Tsunami stages traverse the spectrum of house and techno, while Frequency dives into hard groove, UKG, Berlin-influenced sounds, and other forward-thinking corners of underground club music.

The weekend extends beyond the main festival hours with late-night afterparties inside The Concourse Project’s main room, carrying the energy of Seismic into a more intimate club setting. The interplay between festival-scale production and underground club culture continues to define Seismic and its place within the global electronic music landscape.

Tickets are now available for the event and can be purchased on the Seismic website, with options for 3-day GA passes, single-day tickets, and VIP experiences.
