Hudson Mohawke is a true enigma. The Scottish-born (Glasgow, to be exact), L.A.-based producer and DJ has always been keen to explore a twilight zone where retro commercial pop meets cinematic synth meets 4AM sweaty rave. His last record arrived six years ago to widespread acclaim, and between then and now he's run art classes for other dance music makers, offered bleary-eyed clubbers 7AM BBQs outside venues, and called both Kanye West and Drake out on socials for allegedly not paying him for beats.
All that has, in some ways, led to this point - Hud Mo's most artistically accomplished, challenging, unpredictable, and yet coherent record to date. An outing that perhaps best showcases where he's at and has always been trying to be, it runs the gamut from chart-friendly carnival dance ('Is It Supposed'), to strange ketamine R&B ('Cry Sugar'), and Vangelis-esque 'Stump'.
