When We Dip | Premiere: Khen makes his debut on Warung Recordings with a new two-track EP

One of the exponents of the international Progressive House scene signs a release on Warung Recordings for the first time. We are talking about Khen, DJ and music producer who integrates the notable generation of Israeli producers within the genre, alongside icons like Guy J, Guy Gerber and Guy Mantzur.

‘Maple EP’ is a release of two songs, ‘Maple’ and ‘Some Little Secrets’. The title-track is prog house at its best shape: striking and dry beat, which delivers the rhythm as melodic layers of pads are gradually emerging, in progress. The tone is of an epic journey, charged with emotion; close to two minutes, when piano notes and synthesizers enter the scene and take the lead, the skin prickles, with the feeling that something great is about to happen.

‘Some Little Secrets’ is more minimalist and tribal, being closer to organic and tech house. Here, the imposing and elongated melodies give way to a synth riff that is stretched in a loop during the track, while a tropical beat builds its base. Around four and a half minutes, we are enveloped in a powerful break that, as it clears the rhythmic part, delivers layers and layers of reverb synth, until it explodes at the climax.

This is the #43 release of Warung Recordings and the first by Khen on the label — who developed a special relationship with Warung since 2019, when he first played four hours at one of their 17-year anniversary parties.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Some Little Secrets’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
