Hudson Mohawke first came into my view with the 7X7 beat series put out by the label All City Dublin.  The 7X7 was a beautiful thing-7 singles released by 7 up and coming electronic and beats artists, at least one diamond, polished or un, per single.

But Hudson Mohawke stood out beyond the rest.  Star Crackout was a beautiful track featuring a looping syncopated piano under an ethereal soprano.  Root Hands sounds like its in the middle of disintegrating and the final track, Everybody Else is Wrong, sounds like some indigenous tribe got a hold of Mr. Mohawke’s beat pad and went bananas.  But each of these tracks is merely a prologue..

So why am I telling you all of this.  Well the fine folks at Warp know talent when they see it (Aphex Twin, Burial, Grizzly Bear) and they have decided that we should be so blessed with a proper Hudson Mohawke release, titled Butter, available 10/12 (digi then, vinyl available on preorder).  Check out Hudson’s teaser sampler, which is straight up the bomb, and probably will be in your top 5 aural minutes today.  Angelic Synths, thumping high-hats, duck hunt, and Whitney Houston all are having a party, and you’re invited!  Get pumped!
