Kwes

London-based musician Kwesi Sey, aka Kwes. (note the intentional period), got his start producing early demos for the xx and collaborating with Micachu (of Micachu & the Shapes) on a project named Kwesachu. As word of his production talent spread, remix requests followed from Hot Chip, the Invisible, and Damon Albarn. A talented multi-instrumentalist in his own right, Kwes. started focusing on solo material, releasing his 2009 debut single, Heart in Home, on XL Recordings/Salvia, and following it the next year with the No Need to Run EP on Young Turks. In 2012, Sey signed to Warp for his sophomore EP, Meantime. The producer's first full-length offering, ilp., arrived in late 2013.
