Kwes is best known as a hot young producer from the underground of East London. Having worked with Damon Albarn, Micachu and the Shapes, The XX, Speech Debelle and many more, his production work (as well as remixes for Hot Chip, Zero 7, Jealous Guys ..etc.) has garnered him 'in-demand' status. But it's his own music that is going to put him in the ears of the global musicloving population in 2012. His Warp Records debut, Meantime sees Kwes' finest collection of compositions yet. An EP that twinkles to life by layering synths over rustling field recordings and sparkling xylophones. It's smart pop music, ready for the radio but void of pandering; home-schooled but meticulously studied
