Hudson Mohawke :
Biog : Hudson Mohawke was first brought to everyone’s attention when, alongside Mike Slott and Oddisee, he dropped the Herald’s Of Change ‘Show You’ 12” on Ireland’s much loved All City Records. Selling out in an instant, it marked the arrival of a prodigal talent and set him on a path of global success and notoriety. Continuing to butter us all up with some of the freshest and finest off kilter hip hop since Dilla, Heralds Of Change brought more heat with a series of releases on All City, each selling faster than the last and each garnering more and more praise from all quarters. Hudson Mohawke is following up those early ripples with a big splash. His solo productions have pricked the ears of LA’s Ubiquity label, Holland’s Rush Hour and London’s Werk Discs – all of which have been quick to enlist Hudson’s remarkable remix capabilities. His potent unmistakable mesh of bionic beats and future grooves has struck a chord with music heads the world over with Gilles Peterson and Mary Anne Hobbes both giving Hudson serious air time on their BBC Radio 1 shows as well as Benji B’s Radio 6 Music slot giving support. A forthcoming album and a series of singles, due out on world renowned Warp Records, are sure to keep his star in the ascendancy. Having battled under the name DJ Itchy until 2005, Hudson can add the fact that he is current Scottish ITF Champion as well as the youngest ever UK DMC finalist (at the age of 15) to his CV. Having left his battling days behind and now concentrating on production and party rocking in the clubs all over the UK, Europe and beyond, Hudson Mohawke is crafting a sound that is distinctly his own. Reviews : FAT CITY "Ireland's Heralds of Change crew continue to blow us away with their next level beats on this instrumental six tracker. After a couple of promising vocal collaborations they do the decent thing and let their beats do the talking with six tracks of future funk pitched somewhere between J Dilla, Sa-Ra and Aphex Twin - if these guys had a 313 zip code certain big name radio DJs would be felating them on air by now! Its all good wonky stuff, I'm particulary feeling the pacman / Madlib mash up of the last track!" XLR8R "Tastemakers–from Ubiquity Records and So-Cal’s BTS Radio, to Munich’s Matthias Desch, and international radio streams like Beyond Jazz and Straight Up–are all freaking about a new face from Glasgow. Hudson Mohawke is the man of the hour, and dirty beats are his trade. Call him a disciple of Dilla, an avant-hip-hop instrumentalist, a leftfield beatmaker–whatever. He’s new, young, and making waves in the underground. Mohawke has few released but his small output has been enough to cause a major buzz, so don’t be surprised if cats like Radiohead or Bloc Party start requesting his services shortly. But even those he’s worked with admit Mohawke is something of a mystery. Ubiquity’s website proclaims, "Little is known about the man from Scotland who trades bionic beats under the name Hudson Mohawke. Atari sounds and deadly bass lines will blast holes in your subwoofers and shake down the walls of your local discotheque." We do know he became the youngest-ever UK DMC finalist, at 15, and that he’s the current Scottish ITF champion. He also runs with a posse of upstarts called Lucky Me, which includes Surface Emp, Mr. Copy, and Mike Slott of Heralds of Change, the latter of which Mohawke also collaborates with…Needless to say, with Mohawke’s many incarnations and quiver of beats, many an envelope has not only been pushed, but shattered."
