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?!

This post is semi a shoutout to XLR8R Podcasts in general - YO XLR8R, U ILL, NOT SICK!! I've definitely picked up more than a few new tips from them - they exposing dope new music left and right!

However, this post is more focused on their most recent podcast, which features the record label Wireblock out of Glasgow, Scotland. They are home to one of my favorite producers lately, Rustie. Rustie just came out with a much-anticipated EP which is clippin the seismographs over in the UK, called Bad Science. It is seriously Bad ass shit from a mad scientist.



Wireblock is also home to Hudson Mohawke, Alex Cortex & Lory D. They don't mess! Peep this exclusive Podcast - It is BUSINESS. It was put together by two of the three founders of Wireblock: brothers Neil (a.k.a. Nelson) and Calum (a.k.a. Spencer) Morton:
