Hudson Mohawke

Hudson Mohawke

Scottish producer Ross Birchard, best known as Hudson Mohawke, played a significant role in shaping the sound of electronic music and hip-hop during the late 2000s and 2010s. A co-founder of the influential LuckyMe label and design studio, he was one of the leading names of the late-2000s "wonky" scene, producing a fractured variation on instrumental hip-hop consisting of unstable beats and colorful synth tones, drawing from chiptune, funk, IDM, and other styles. Signing to Warp significantly raised Mohawke's profile, and following the release of his kaleidoscopic, kitchen-sink 2009 debut album, Butter, he formed the duo TNGHT with Canadian producer Lunice. The pair's self-titled 2012 EP was enormously well received, and helped usher in the EDM subgenre known as trap. Mohawke then became a highly in-demand producer, working with hip-hop heavyweights such as Kanye West, Drake, Lil Wayne, and many others. Following his triumphant, ambitious sophomore album, Lantern (2015), Mohawke scored the soundtrack to the 2016 video game Watch Dogs 2 and reunited with Lunice, releasing TNGHT's II in 2019. Collaborations with Azealia Banks, Danny L Harle, and Jimmy Edgar all appeared in 2021, and third full-length Cry Sugar arrived in 2022.

Set The Roof
Set The Roof (feat Tayla Parx) - (4:28) 134 BPM Hot
More Recently - (4:23) 142 BPM
Demuro - (5:01) 138 BPM
Review: When you see Hudson Mohawke and Nikki Nair are in town, you know you are in for one hell of a ride, as the pair combine for a collection of rave-ready anthems, juiced to the max with original dancefloor energy. First up, Tayla Parx unloads a vibrant vocal skip through moogy bass tones and catchy chord progressions of 'Set The Roof', which certainly sets the high energy tone. Next, the disorientingly glitchy melodic pings and drum syncopation of 'More Recently' sends us down an entirely different avenue of creativity, with the sundrenched melodic scoops and abstract sound design of 'Demuro' gives us a bubbly finisher.

Review: Ross Birchard has been such an omnipresent figure on modern electronic music as Hudson Mohawke it seems strange to think Lanterns is only his second album. A lot has happened in the world of Hud Mo in the six 6 years since his Warp issued debut set Butter (hello Kanye) and the 14 track Lanterns comes across as a more compelling and adventurous album from the Scottish producer. Featuring some interesting guest appearances (Anthony Hegarty, Irfane, Miguel, Ruckazoid, Jhene Aiko) it's clear Lanterns is being presented as a chance for Birchard to reach the next level, and packs in a whole load of musical ideas along the way.

Very First Breath (feat Irfane - Boyz Noize Turbine mix) - (4:37) 64 BPM
Very First Breath (feat Irfane - Boyz Noize classic mix) - (4:47) 64 BPM
Review: Globe-conquering beatsmith Hudson Mohawke has been sparing with the material he has issued recently, but he's back on Warp with a new single that promises to tickle the earbuds of as many drive-time listeners as club-ready heads. "Very First Breath" features Irfane on vocal for a highly strung delivery that sits naturally on top of HudMo's searing synth lines and whip-crack beats. Boys Noize then takes on the pop tones and charges them up with an anthemic house backdrop on both the "Turbine" and "Classic" mixes, which will no doubt get plenty of hands reaching to the sun on any number of crowd-pleasing terraces this summer.

Review: What a year it's been for Warp. So far in 2014, other than Aphex Twin's Syro, the label has released music from Squarepusher, Oneohtrix Point Never and Jackson & His Computer Band to Plaid, Nightmares On Wax and Rustie - with another album by Clark forthcoming. Now one of Glasgow's most colourful producers (check out the cover art), Hudson Mohawke returns to home base with his first official release since the Satin Panthers EP. As usual there's a kaleidoscope of sounds to be heard on Chimes alongside hip hop beats, footwork skitters and gangster 'woof' vocals, and if "Joy Fantastic" from Butter is a Hud Mo fav, then "King Kong Beaver" should fill you with hope that a follow up LP is on the way.

Review: Making their debut on Warp, Hudson Mohawke and Lunice proudly cross their beams to rain down a sick and slick kind of future-crunk, aptly demonstrated in in the introductory nature of bass-rich teaser "Top Floor" with its juke leanings and menacing posture. There's a detuned nature to the recognisable bleeps and wails on offer here while the beats remain crunchy and steadfast. "Higher Ground" is more overt in its use of juke to create a twisted kind of hype, while "Bugg'n" drips and drops in a loping vat of sub bass and slow-mo strangeness, leaving you with one of the oddest takes on the contemporary mess of electronic beats.

Review: Acclaimed Glaswegian beatsmith Hudsom Mohawke continues his relationship with electronic music heavyweights Warp with a distinctly positive sounding mini-album. For those who've followed the Numbers man's blossoming career, the musical contents of Satin Panthers will be no surprise - though the sheer wide-eyed bliss and rush-inducing feel of tracks like "Octane" and "All Your Love" - a brilliant fusion of starburst electronics, sped-up vocal samples and snappy percussion - may thrill more than usual. Throughout, there's a rainbow-tinted, high definition finish that ensures a life-affirming feel so often previously lacking from the earnest Glaswegian's rhythmically complex works. As a result, Satin Panthers is a delirious blast of fresh air.
