Wen – Commotion EP [Keysound Recordings] [LDN035] (Release)

Although leaks of this release has spread like wildfire, I’d definitely recommend everyone supported the artist and got themselves a vinyl copy. It would be interesting to see the sales figures once the release comes out, as Wen/ Keysound Recordings seem to be pretty lax about the leak, and it seems that they are not being aggressive in their removal of these links. I can only hope this will translate into more people loving the tracks and buying the physical or even digital copy when it comes out.

What other sites are saying about it:

Liminalsounds.com: ‘Drawing from dubstep, dark garage and grime in equal measures, the four heavyweight productions on offer here distil perfectly the threads that unite the UK’s rich underground heritage. Not wasting even an ounce of energy, they feed off the tension between their precision-tooled components, riding a wave of chilling minimalism and powerful bass weight.’

Urbangoods.co.uk : ‘Long time friend of Urban Goods Wen has certainly had a good start to 2013 the young producer has achieved a level of recognition he deserves. His latest track Commotion set for release on 18/02/13 is another dance floor destroyer. The punchy sub-bass and engaging vocal sample really gives it that ‘what is this track!!?’ feel.’

Interview with Wen on BlackdownSoundBoy.Blogspot : ‘Wen: Yeah, I got into grime through my mate Elz. He showed me some random set one time and I was hooked straight away. It just sounded interesting and different, had loads of energy and was to be frank, cool music he started MC’ing, and got good real quick. So I really started to appreciate the lyrics and how clever some of the things the MC’s strung together were, even just the vibe that was given off by the choice of words and way certain words were said, that’s before you even consider flow.’

Released: 18th February 2013
