In the wake of his full-length Warp debut that dropped last week, Glasgow’s Hudson Mohawke (see here and here) has dropped a pair of mixes to up the promotional ante, popping up halfway through Benji B’s essential BBC1 Xtra show late Sunday night for an interview and an elaborate compilation spanning the entirety of his five-year career, including rare CD-R’s, old tapes, and various esoterica (kilts, Loch Ness references, etc.)
The programme (for British eyes only) should appeal to those looking to know more about the youngest ever winner of the UK DMC championships (at 14 years-old),the origins of the album title Butter (a mixture of Scottish humor and old R&B slang), his first musical love (90s New York hip-hop), and Mohawke’s dreams of working with Jada, Freeway, and Twista. While the collected tracks bear out perhaps the most fully realized statement of the 23-year old’s potential. Also worth checking out is the Q&A/mix Mohawke did for the Fader, that touches upon his musical and aesthetic inspirations and breaks the news that he’s supposedly going to contribute beats to the next Erykah Badu album–to say nothing of his next record title, I Can’t Give It’s Not Butter…Spray.
