Wen: what's all the commotion about?

[ultraspatial]

Listened to that Beneath mix a while back and the tunes on his soundcloud. Didn't really strike me as being too dark.

Big up wen.
Known him for years and heard nearly everything he's made and i can honestly say the progression he's made over the last year in terms of sound is incredible.
Tempo is irrelevant as he makes tunes at a variety of tempos.
Wind it up - 130
Spark it - 132
Commotion - 137
Lo-fidelity remix - 140
Anyway, back to the point big up Wen!
I told you you'd blow up mate.

I actually pitch a lot of Wen beats down to fit with mine.

wow what tempo you rolling at?

128ish, I dunno why I pitch everything down even when I don't need to, I just love it when beats sound a bit more sluggish than they actually should, especially tune's like wen's

[pdomino]

Love his work and thanks for this thread, 'Commotion' got to be my favourite.

Wen making some next beats right now! on this sound

[murky21]

tunes remind me of old Mark One tunes like Plodder/ Devil Man

Bump, Does Wen have anything forthcoming or any releases? Can't find very much..

I hoping for wax but I'm guessing it's digital only as it's a small new label and everything.
