Hudson Mohawke on Myspace Music
Been chilling in Glasgow for a few days. For a skint graduand, that means dossing about Mum's catching up with Youtube, Myspace, and Facebook. While I explore the web for tunes and banter, we try not alarm each other with our polar ideas of hygiene and tidyness, and I try not to get depressed about her lack of passion for music.
There isn't even a sound system here. It got put in the loft after the iPod dock moved in. But hey, at least there's a big digital TV, which means I can listen to 6 Music whenever Eastenders isn't on!
But I've got a few friends in this cities thriving music scene who can help me out. Managed to catch up with my old mate and muso Joe for a music swap sesh over a bowl of Tesco PovertyPrice broth, and doscivered some cracking new talent that's buzzing up the clubs here the now, before heading off to Kelvingrove park to enjoy a few beers in the bright sunshiny day.
I've never really been into dubstep much. Feels like an intro that never finishes. Could probly lurch to it stoned, but clubs, requiring social interaction and a sense of balance, are intimidating and terrifying in such a state. Maybe I've just not heard the right stuff till now.
Hudson Mohawke def sounds like the right stuff! A jaggy-hiphoppy, jazzy-dubsteppy DJ and producer from Glasgow who has just been signed to Warp Records. This guy has been around for a while, but is just making big now apparently.
His Myspace has loads of his new tunes on it, but my first and fave is this silky sexy smokin banger called 'Ooops', which you can hear thru this vid. It's a refix of this girl Tweet who fancies herself, and if she's as sexy as the beats, why not?
Other tracks to check out include 'Joy Fantastic', a bouncy jaggy bit of psychadelic funk with a smooth lyric from Oliver Daysoul.
ZooO00oO0m is a dark glitchy beepy hiphop instrumental; Freek'n'U is a deep noizy horny soulful balad. These are on the Myspace, along with some more 'traditional' r'n'b-like tracks, still with a buzzed-up glitchy twang to them.
Listen to all of it, it's all good n groovy!
He's stoked to be playing in Barcelona ("fuckinn yasssssssss") later this month, and is playing London the week after! Prob can't make it to either unfortunately, coz writing this blog don't make me any less skint.
