Hudson Mohawke

I like odd names, they intrigue me. Often you're left to find that the music doesn't live up to the coolness of the name - but not this time. Hudson Mohawke - we mentioned him the other week as he was featured on the Wireblock Records XLR8R podcast.

I'll admit, I rarely get this excited about an artist. He is one of the few that juggle with genres and does it well. Forward thinking, mainly hiphop style rhythms and clever, catchy melodies. Reminds me a bit of Flying Lotus.

His debut album "Butter" is out this October. No doubt it'll be biiiiiig.

Pre-order "Butter - Spreadable Edition" - includes the record (vinyl), an exclusive t-shirt and a sticker - all wrapped inside a Hudson Mohawke Butter tub! How kewl is that?!

Artist of the Day: Mount Kimbie

One of the coolest new groups this year is Mount Kimbie, comin out of London. Their sound is so off-the-wall, so beautiful and so gangsta all at the same time, that it would be difficult to throw these tunes on for anyone and have them go unnoticed. They've come out with two EPs so far on Hotflush Recordings - Maybes, released back in February to critial acclaim, and the very recent Sketch On Glass:


Mount Kimbie - Sketch On Glass


Mount Kimbie - Serged


Mount Kimbie - 50 Mile View


Mount Kimbie - At Least


Here's what some people are saying about Mount Kimbie:

"These guys are in the zone! Pioneering a catchy brand of light-as-air, deep-as-the-ocean, feel-good dubstep, here they offer us four more superb tracks [on Sketch On Glass]." -Little White Earbuds blog

"Back in February, they unleashed the Maybes EP on Hotflush, a four-track slab of vinyl so full of originality and creativity it astounded most of the world of dubstep – a scene that is already brimming with inventiveness and constantly mutating. Slicker than most Flying Lotus productions and mired deep in thick ambience, it still kept its songs anchored with spinning, unquantized halfstep beats...Sketch On Glass is a triumph for Mount Kimbie and considerably raises the bar for producers. This is the second time they have proven to be the most forward thinking and restless musicians in the dubstep scene, and I expect more genius to come from them." -IglooMag.com Sketch On Glass review

"Mount Kimbie is a London based duo that produce simple, minimal thoughful tunes that are very visual. They evoke rainy images of the UK but in a very epic and hopeful way not like Burial’s dark, melancholy way." -Asian Man Dan blog

"Mount Kimbie have carved out another superb foursome for Hotflush, and once again the music is just as comfortable in the hiphop or electronica realm as it is dubstep." -Phonica Records review

Mount Kimbie are in a genre all of their own...Where Maybes showcased their ability to write lush, downtempo (mostly) instrumentals, gradually adding layers of melody and wonderment, Sketch on Glass proves the duo also know how to bring the party - crafting another EP of inventiveness and creativity, but this time with more of a focus on bass and groove...And it all sounds so simple: never over-complex or disconnected. There are touches here of Zomby, Joker and others, just as there were Shackleton and Burial on Maybes, but Kimbie's sound is their own, and over two releases they've essentially proved that they can take on most of dubstep's more interesting strains and fit them to their own vision; in many cases bettering their more experienced peers." -FACT Magazine review

"[Mount Kimbie composes] a music equally informed by the expansive emotions of post-rock and electronica as the rhythms and attitude of dubstep...For anyone investigating the fringes of the dubstep scene this is among the most intriguing and best informed gear you'll find." -Boomkat Maybes and Sketch On Glass reviews
