Wen - She Giv

Featured here: http://hyponik.com/?p=57848

Kent-based producer Owen Darby aka Wen, has been rising through the ranks of forward-thinking producers since his brilliant ‘Commotion’ EP surfaced on Keysound Recordings in early 2013. Having just released ‘Finesse’ on Tectonic in May (as well as contributing a blinding Hyp mix the same month), Darby shows no sign of letting up this year with a six track EP for Parris’s Soundman Chronicles due July 17. One of his most dynamic offerings to date, ‘Senary Cycles’ takes the hard hitting sentiment of last year’s shadowy debut album ‘Signals’ and channels it into unexpected yet exhilarating realms.

After his debut album Signals in 2014, UK’s 130-ninja Wen (Owen Darby) has been on our watch list; our anticipation is finally rewarded with the announcement (and the speedy release) of his brand new 6-track EP – Senary Cycles.

Coming out via DJ Parris’ imprint Soundman Chronicles, this is one of the most organic outputs from the young and independent British pirate radio-inspired crew.

Throughout the EP Wen’s signature cavernous space, industrial textures and chopped-up vocal experimentations are binded by the slightly impatient and even rude attitude. It is obvious the producer has gotten even more comfortable in his skin and we’re certainly even more anxious for his future releases.

Premiere: Wen - "Gravity Flux"

"What's all this commotion about?" asked @w3n's debut EP, when it arrived in 2013 on Keysound Recordings. The previously unknown producer, as a result, created a stir in grimy, dark circles, spawning a whole new obsession with low sounds centred around the 130 BPM mark and ideas drawn from Tempa-era dubstep. Since then, Kent-based Owen Darby has helmed the hugely acclaimed full-length 'Signals', which showcased deft skill and a love of disembodying MCs, with a sharp salute to the roads.
After recently dropping an EP on Tectonic, 'Finesse', Darby shows no signs of slowing down with a new six-tracker on Parris's @soundman-chronicles. 'Senary Cycles' is a ten tonne offering of sub pressure and club impact, and we're pleased to premiere second track 'Pace Myself'.

The release represents a complete rethink about what it means to compile and commission music in the streaming era – and the tracks and seductively dark atmospheres conjured as a result are exploring all kinds of new sonic territory, too. In short, the cream of leftfield electronic talent have been given a brief: to take the phrase “in Death's dream kingdom”, or the whole of T.S. Eliot's poem The Hollow Men from which it comes, as inspiration.

The resulting 25 tracks will be released, day by day, together with further artist information, to build into the full work. Not an album in the traditional sense, certainly more than just a playlist, it brings together a seriously diverse array of talents into a coherent whole with a vivid aesthetic reverberating through it. It occupies a similar space to the great home listening electronica acts of the 90s – Future Sound Of London, Global Communication, the Artificial Intelligence axis – but there are no throwbacks here: this is radical in sound and thought. Dark music for dark times.

"With this piece, I attempt to conjure up some waking nightmare. Disorientating and clangorous but inevitably reaching toward the light. Do we get there?" ~ Pye Corner Audio
