Also a Peterborough (UK) based trio in the late 1990's

Enchant, this time changed: The former drummer Paul Craddick along with three further band associates as well as various guest musicians have created an album that is filled with the typical Enchant prog sound that is laden with groovy and alternative rock elements.

Xen was also the name used by Jon Haire (guitar) Phil Whitting (bass) and Nick Neale (drums) for an experimental band originally formed to use some free studio time at Will Savage's Jigsaw recording studio. After recording at Jigsaw, recording some tracks at Jon's workshop, and a few gigs including the BBC music live in Peterborough UK, the band faded after Nick moved to Ipswich, Suffolk.

Xen is a california dj/producer, an unorthodox approach and traditional roots, Daniel shows us a wide array of influences. taking cues from movers and shakers like rhymesayers, definitive jux, and stones throw; he shows no fear to merging genres and styles. growing up in an musical enviroment and having a deep affection for everything from Hip Hop Beats to indie (Fugazi, Elliot Smith, Etc.), from Beat Poetry to Math Rock, & back again. Xen exposes a depth not many beatmakers today hold, a flair for the odd. Combing Acid Jazz tendencies with a Trip Hop turntablism vibe, these tracks groove in and out of the “boom bap” formula. jamming with musicians and even working on a live band, there is alot more to come from this california loopster. having been working in the shadows for a few years now, Xens time to shine has been put on hold too long. with releases coming this year with unreleased material & new material, keep a look out for this up and coming producer.

Xen is a Swiss of Albanian origin. He turned to rap to deal with his family situation and migration background. In addition to US rappers, he also took German rapper as Kool Savas for the model. In 2012 he started working on his debut album, in Physical Shock he found a label for release. The album I would be pleased appeared after three years of work purely digital on 1 May 2015 at the Swiss music platform iGroove, which allows payment via SMS. The new distribution channel proved successful and the album rose to number 4 in the Swiss charts.
Together with the likewise Albanian rooted rapper EAZ Xen published end of November the single Kei Zit, which reached place 2 of the charts.

Gheie guet
Xen Lyrics

Desert Boot, Perry Shirt, oberst Knopf zue
Versuech mi nöd mitem Rest in en Topf z'tue
Gsehne Fründe hüt vom Süde, Oste, Weste
Norde nur mit de Beste

Und d'Rundi, sie bliibt chlii
D'Fläsche wird teilt mit de Breddas
Han ufghört, zieh' gliich
Kush macht mini eyes them redda
Und ich ghei hüt, aber ghei immer guet

Bad Vibes, nei nei, mir wänd kei vo dene
Und mir gheied hüt, aber gheied guet
Schlächti Vibes, nei nei, mir wännd kei vo-

Nei, kei bad vibes bad times hani hinter mir
Hüt live, ja ich dirigier
Wenn ich ghei, ja denn ghei ich immer guet
Will ich weiss, mini Jungs stönd hinter mir
Wenn ich ghei denn uf Wulche
Rauche Jay's mache Wulche
Neui J's jedi Wuche, kei Fakes nur Facts
Selfmade, was häsch du gseh? (haha)

Und ich ghei hüt, aber ghei immer guet
Bad Vibes, nei nei, mir wänd kei vo dene
Gseh mis sweet Ting
Sie git mir Blick, seit bis nachher
Niemer gaht elei go penne
Und d'Rundi bliibt chlii
Falschi Fründe und Schlange
Mir säged bye bye zu dene
D'Fläsche wird teilt mit de Breddas
Kush macht mini eyes them redda

Nei, kei bad Vibes
Dreh' eis, en Zug Homie, paff' pur
Leer ein Schluck für de Pac uus
Bad guy, nei smooth Homie lach' nur (hahaha)
Ich bin immer guet druf
Ja solang ich mini Fam um mich han
D'Fans und mich han
Vo nüt usem Dräck iischlaht
Ha Glück, hüt schmückt de Benz d'Ifahrt
Straight, jede Scheiss wird teilt
Aber erst wenn du Leistig zeigsch
Gsehsch wo die Reis micht treit
Steak git's ufem heisse Stei

Und ich ghei hüt, aber ghei immer guet
Bad Vibes, nei nei, mir wänd kei vo dene
Gseh mis sweet Ting
Sie git mir Blick, seit bis nachher
Niemer gaht elei go penne
Und d'Rundi bliibt chlii
Falschi Fründe und Schlange
Mir säged bye bye zu dene
D'Fläsche wird teilt mit de Breddas
Kush macht mini eyes them redda

Ja wenn ich ghei, denn ghei ich immer guet
(eh eh) Bombay im Bluet
Also pass mal das Strawberry

Ja wenn ich ghei, denn ghei ich immer guet

Oder pass mal de Hendricks-Gin, mmh

Und ich ghei hüt, aber ghei immer guet
Bad Vibes, nei nei, mir wänd kei vo dene
Gseh mis sweet Ting
Sie git mir Blick, seit bis nachher
Niemer gaht elei go penne
Und d'Rundi bliibt chlii
Falschi Fründe und Schlange
Mir säged bye bye zu dene
D'Fläsche wird teilt mit de Breddas
Kush macht mini eyes them redda
