German dark electro master Extize this time blends the elegance of 1450s era harpsichord music with the driving force of dark acid industrial techno, and the result is "Renaissance Rave". The single is taken from the upcoming time-traveling album, DeLorean 666, which will be released on 20 May 2025 via darkTunes Music Group.
Extize comments: "Today is Valentine’s Day, and I wanted to drop something straight from my heart to yours. My new single "Renaissance Rave" is more than just a track for me – it’s my homage to all the incredible women out there. This song tells the story of a king giving his crown to his queen, because let’s be real... without our queens, we are nothing. To every woman who inspires, supports, and loves fiercely – this one’s for you. You are the strength behind the chaos, the light in the darkness, and the heartbeat of the rave of life. Let's celebrate YOU as the true queens of our world."
Put on your crown, let the rhythm take over, and join the procession—"Renaissance Rave" is calling. Link
