TH;EN & DAMEN Unleash “XTC”
A strong salute to the raw roots of rave culture.
Electronic music powerhouses TH;EN and DAMEN join forces for their electrifying new single “XTC” on 1001 Recordings. Blending raw 90s rave influences with futuristic production, their new track delivers an adrenaline-fueled ride built on metallic rave hits, aggressive leads, and a thunderous low-end.
With “XTC” TH;EN and DAMEN channel the rebellious energy of early rave but reimagine it with cutting‑edge production. Dark vocal stabs, rave‑infused synth hits and a dominant contemporary bass foundation give the track its unmistakable identity. Created for maximum tension and release, its metallic rave elements blend seamlessly with a weighty bass foundation that instantly transports listeners into a 90s‑meets‑now rave moment.
"XTC channels the raw spirit of 90s rave, reinvented as a modern set weapon driven by standout dark vocal stabs, rave-tinged synth hits, and a heavy, contemporary low-end built for peak-time floors." - TH;EN
"XTC is a super bass heavy track which is in your face and that always makes it special to play live. Everybody on the dance floor loses their minds when they hear the drops and synths." - DAMEN
The collaboration took shape when TH;EN approached DAMEN with the initial concept. The idea quickly evolved through months of creative exchange, leading to a seamless fusion of their individual sound signatures.
