I know you probably all have these end of year lists coming out your ears by now, but I'm quite a fan of the whole list format & thought I'd share with you 20 songs from 2012 that I don't think I'll ever forget. The whole numerical thing was too much for me so they're not in any particular order, it's more my idea of a perfect playlist than anything. Listen to part 1 below, thoughts appreciated : Grimes Genesis Visions [...]
Let’s get one thing clear; London boy-genius Kwes aint no slouch. Yes he may have taken his own sweet time to release a new EP (almost two years to be exact) but he’s not been sitting around in his under-crackers watching ‘This Morning’, he’s been rather busy producing the likes of Dels, Speech Debelle and Michachu not to mention helping Damon Albarn with his DRC music project. Besides, Meantime is worth the wait. A captivating jumble of sunny, wonky, psych-pop genius, think Shuggie Otis twisting beats with Panda Bear and you’re half way there. Signed to [...]

Q. What do Dr. Dre, Kanye West and Kwesi Sey aka Kwes have in common? A. They were all great producers before they decided to take up the mantle of being the main man, and put their own voices to the fore. And just as Dre and Ye were at the top of their game as producers before starting rapping, Kwes' production and remix credits read like a who's who of forward thinking UK indie/pop/electronic artists - including the xx , Zero 7, Joe Goddard (from Hot Chip), Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, and Mr [...]

Called "Bashful", the song flexes Kwes' ability to intertwine catchy hooks with some left-of-center instrumentation.

Meantime EP is due out May 1 via Warp.
