HOTFLUSH PODCASTS

Label of the hour, Hotflush Recordings, has been supplying us with some damn fine material. Mount Kimbie, Scuba, Sigha, Untold, Joy Orbison, Pangaea - what these artists have in common is that their tunes are hard to categorize. The kind where the last 20 comments on youtube are kids arguing about what genre it is, agreeing on something like "new-rave-dub-hop-abilly". But ultimately, all of these artists have a sound that is symptomatic for the label itself. And that's what makes Hotflush so hot. Music that is hard to define, but obviously Hotflush.

Apart from all the sweet releases, they're bringing us a podcast every month from one of their artists. This month's podcast comes from San Fransisco's Jus Wan.

You can also pick up the podcasts directly from the Hotflush website. We're just making your life a little easier!

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?!
