CALAO enters the new year with strong momentum after a breakout period that caught the attention of global tastemakers and top-tier selectors.
Now, the Belgian producer moves forward with confidence by releasing her new single SCANDAL, which is out via Diynamic Music.
The track appears as part of the label’s Four To The Floor 47 EP.
Through this release, it marks an important moment in her upward trajectory.
At the same time, it clearly reflects the backing of one of electronic music’s most respected imprints.
At a certain point, an underground track stops being a hidden gem.
For her, that turning point arrives with SCANDAL.

How the Track Gains Listening
The record already built a strong reputation on international dance floors before its official release.
Diynamic boss Solomun first premiered it during a B2B set with Anyma at Futur Festival in Turin last July.
Later, the track also appeared in the 2025 aftermovie of the CORE stage at Tomorrowland in Belgium, further expanding its reach.
Landing on Diynamic with only her second official release marks a significant achievement.
Moreover, it reflects the growing trust in CALAO’s distinct artistic voice.
After her debut single W.E.I.R.D earned positive feedback on Elif’s Marginalia imprint last October, SCANDAL makes one thing clear.
The DJ is not slowly testing the waters.
Instead, she is stepping directly into the spotlight with clear intent.

Who is CALAO?
Behind the CALAO alias stands Charlotte Collard, a DJ and producer based between London and Brussels.
Her music thrives on contrast and creative freedom.
She blends hypnotic electronic grooves with raw energy and bold melodic choices, all driven by her desire to keep her sets diverse and unpredictable.
As a result, each production feels like a natural extension of her DJ identity—emotional, carefully crafted, and unafraid to take risks.
Beyond the booth, she builds a strong and distinctive visual identity.
She does not see music as sound alone. Instead, she approaches it as a fully immersive experience.
In her world, sound, aesthetics, and emotion move together as one unified expression.
In addition, she actively supports causes such as Charity Water, using her platform to turn artistic expression into meaningful real-world impact.
