Glasgow native, Ross Birchard, 28, better known as Hudson Mohawke, went on BBC Radio One as part of its 25 years of Warp Records celebration. The Kanye West collaborator talked to Radio One DJ Benji B about his upcoming album — which is done — his "Chimes" remix and how that came together and where the name Hudson Mohawke came from. In addition to the radio appearance, he has also separately released a free remix of Four Tet's "Parallel Jalebi" as part of the LuckyMe 14/15 Advent Calendar. First previewed more than a year ago, HudMo flips the original spacey and abstract original into a somber, energetic track, according to Fact. Listen and download the remix below.
The interview focuses on his new album and his music. According to HudMo, the album is done. It will be his first studio album in five years — the first since Butter was released in 2009 on Warp Records.
He spoke about what this album means to him: "It represents me more as a producer in a traditional sense rather than a beat maker."
There have been a lot more people involved then just him, more features and more vocal tracks as well. Unlike songs like "Chimes," the album will be less club-focused, as he stated, "In 10 years's time, I would still be happy to listen to this."
The untitled album has been narrowed down to 12 tracks.
HudMo discusses why he and Lunice broke up their incredible successful TNGHT project just as it was getting really successful and it was just that — they did not want the project to overshadow their own solo careers.
HudMo took the time to tease a few unreleased records from his collection, potentially from his album. Listen to the interview and exclusives below.
