Wen
“She Giv”
Senary Cycles (out 07.17 on Soundman)
While the British producer has been mostly painted with the ‘instrumental grime’ brush, the shoe has never really quite fit, and with each passing release, Wen has developed a sound that is increasingly difficult pigeonhole in a genre, no matter how diverse said genre is. “She Giv” is the lead single off his forthcoming “double EP” (whatever the hell that means), which looks set to be the boldest release of his career. The cut pairs interstellar keys with a mantric vocal sample and extra helpings of skittering percussion and delicious sub-bass. This is late night music, worthy of soundtracking a last drink or a bus ride home, and it will likely only make up a small part of a fascinating bigger statement.
