5 nice things about Kwes
- Kwes has a sharp, refined ear for melody and space, and has produced music for The xx, Micachu, DELS, Speech Debelle, Elan Tamara and Sunless ’97 amongst others.
- He’s an incredibly sensitive, intuitive observer of the world, as shown in his report about making the DRC Music album in Kinshasa, DRC.
- He’s pretty shy but he has a mischievous spirit and likes “tricking people with sound” as he told us in person in an interview last summer.
- Although he plays it down, he’s a brilliant drummer and has performed live with DELS and Elan Tamara.
- He’s such a massive fan of tea that the logo of his label Bokkle is a teapot.
Kwes plays live at the Shacklewell Arms in London tonight (event details)
