Fri Nov 06 - Hudson Mohawke @ Viral Radio: Trouw

hudsonCritic darling and new master of the home made pop/electro/pan pipe scene Hudson Mohawke is here in Amsterdam promoting his album ‘Butter’.. umm scrumptious. If you’re fans of such acts as Picture Plane, Passion Pit and Yacht then you’ll love this laddy so don’t miss out.

Starts at 22.30 and costs 12 euros see here for more info

Words from the Guardian: From mixing on his dad’s hi-fi at the age of eight, to competing in the UK DJ finals at 15, Ross Birchard has never lacked chutzpah. Under the moniker Hudson Mohawke, Birchard now has his sights set on making great pop music, albeit in the most challenging way he can find. Of all the many labels applied to Hudson Mohawke’s music, “wonky” may be the best. From 90s R&B to 80’s soul, hip-hop to dubstep, numerous styles of black music are incorporated, manipulated and bounced against each other. It’s like eating candyfloss and helium on a speeding rollercoaster: exhilarating and discombobulating in equal measure. Sometimes, as with final track Black’n'Red, you’re left simply disorientated, the parts not adding up to a whole. More often, though, the experiment works – and listening to Butter can feel like eavesdropping on the future, the next iteration of Timbaland’s future pop, or Outkast’s whacked-out funk.
