Hudson Mohawke

Und noch-mal ‘Love with a different twist’. Die Masturbations-RnB-Hymne von Tweet im Remix:

Zugegebenermaßen will ich eher auf Hudson Mohawke hinaus und damit einen dieser ‘lange-überfällig-Posts’ halbwegs elegant unterjubeln.

Dieser Typ ist so eine Glasgower JayDilla Variante, gekreuzt mit Timberland-auf-Plattenfirma-ohne-Hemmschwelle. Das ganze kombiniert mit LuckyMe Kollektiv Zugehörigkeit und der Detailbessessenheit eines Schlafzimmerschraubers, der unter seinem Bett 80er Synths, Grime, New Jack Swing, Friggelectrics und Dubstep eingetaucht in eine gute Schicht Pop-Glitch (Vorsicht Wikipedia-Musikwissenschafts Link) lagert und dann tatsächlich nach Eigenaussage nur in Fruityloops seine Tracks produziert!

Da klingt der Tweet Remix jetzt erstmal eher gemäßigt.

Um das Erotiklevel zu senken, fangen wir erstmal mit einem Video von seiner Routine im britischen DMC Finale 2003 an. Damals noch unter dem Namen Itchy und gerade mal 15 Jahre alt:

Der Essential Mix von Hudson Mohawke von Ende November 2009 (Download) und sein Debutalbum ‘Butter‘ (Preview Mix Download) (Kaufen!) jedenfalls halten auch nach langfristiger Dauerrotation noch interessiertem Zuhören stand.

Wer noch mehr Album Freak-Promo braucht, spielt jetzt sein Videospiel Butterstar Galactica. Und da wir schon dabei sind, gibts nach dem Klick noch mehr zum Anhören und Eindecken von HudMo.

Joker

joker-dubstep

Last week there was this web-word about Kito being the Australian Joker.

So it’s only fair to post about the producer and DJ from Bristol himself. Since his first EP Release in 2007 you could hear that dreamy vision of purple sky’s.

Plus he also has quite a creative style of mixing.

Best check this guest mix on redlights 1xtra show! Gotta love how he drops the Jakes Rhytme Dubplate, or how he fades into ‘when i look at you’. (Download here)

Joker and MC Nomad explain their approach to music: “I’m here as a Dubstep guy, but really i’m not making Dubstep,joker-pic something in beetween what Garage used to be like, whats called Grime now.

I tend to think of it like a scene and people. You can say you got Drum’n'Base tempo and maybe you have a little bit of Soul to it, but the people that listen to it is HipHop Culture, it’s HipHop.

For me they dont need to be changing their name. For me even Dubstep is HipHop because thats what i’m listening to, thats my perspective.”

Check the whole interview and some live footage here:

And here is a piece of production, presumably from his forthcoming Album, so i can only provide the song as a radio rip.

If you are annoyed by the talking in between, then you probably dont know about Skreams Radio Show Stella Sessions on rinse.fm which airs sometimes on wednesdays between 21:00 and 23:00 (London time that is). Anyways you should always check the rinse podcasts (rss feed link). Strong recommendation if you slept on that one up until now!

The Joker bbc guest mix comes via www.n3k4.com, which is another advise for friends of bass music. Here’s the specific post with the tracklist as well.
