Khen - One Day Of Independence (2016)

Israeli rising star, the Guy Mantzur mentored Khen is back and presents his long awaited debut album Day Of Independence, which sees this young artist in the global progressive house scene as a force to be reckoned with. The album is a cohesive effort, covering a wide variety of moods and grooves and skillful variations of his dreamy and hypnotic sound. There's last month's breakthrough single "Children With No Name" starting out the album in style, the very Life & Death sounding journey "Alumot" and there's also the adrenalised tech house of "Epidemic". Honorbale mentions also to the deep and immersive tribalism of "Anyway Now" and the Bronzed re-edit of "Anise", which does for some afterhours style minimal house flavour.
