[edit] Kwes.
Almost no references, questionable notability (no criterion of Wikipedia:Notability (music) is fulfilled afaics).
Even the linked Myspace page - by no means a reliable third-party source - doesn't seem to cover most of the facts, for example his full name can't be verified there (nor via google). Two tracks on a compilation of a small, young DIY label do not suffice for notability and the compilation doesn't even seem to be available on amazon.co.uk. The claim He has also gained considerable popularity for his reworks/renditions including a remix of Klaxons single "Gravity's Rainbow" and a leftfield rendition of the disbanded Test Icicles single "Sharks" seems very hard to believe [1], [2]. The rest of the article consists of claims that he has played instruments occasionally for some bands who may or may not be notable, and of announcements of collaborations (to be released later this year or next year) with artists which are probably notable. In short: Looks like a promising 20-year-old musician which might justify an encyclopedia article in a year or two, but not now.
I am also nominating the following related pages because they are almost identical copies of the same text:

- Delete. Sounds like he's good, but per the nom, not notable. No prejudice to recreation when he is. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 00:37, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
