Hudson Mohawke was first brought to everyone’s
attention when, alongside Mike Slott and Oddisee,
he dropped the Herald’s Of Change ‘Show You’ 12”
on Ireland’s much loved All City Records. Selling
out in an instant, it marked the arrival of a
prodigal talent and set him on a path of global
success and notoriety. Continuing to butter us
all up with some of the freshest and finest off
kilter hip hop since Dilla, Heralds Of Change
brought more heat with a series of releases on
All City, each selling faster than the last
and each garnering more and more praise from
all quarters.

Hudson Mohawke is following up those early
ripples with a big splash. His solo productions
have $$$$$ed the ears of LA’s Ubiquity label,
Holland’s Rush Hour and London’s Werk Discs –
all of which have been quick to enlist Hudson’s
remarkable remix capabilities. His potent
unmistakable mesh of bionic beats and future
grooves has struck a chord with music heads
the world over with Gilles Peterson and Mary
Anne Hobbs both giving Hudson serious air time
on their BBC Radio 1 shows as well as Benji B’s
Radio 6 Music slot giving support. A forthcoming
album and a series of singles, due out on world
renowned Warp Records, are sure to keep his star
in the ascendancy.

Having battled under the name DJ Itchy until 2005,
Hudson can add the fact that he is current Scottish
ITF Champion as well as the youngest ever UK DMC
finalist (at the age of 15) to his CV. Having left
his battling days behind and now concentrating on
production and party rocking in the clubs all over
the UK, Europe and beyond, Hudson Mohawke is
crafting a sound that is distinctly his own.
