Hudson Mohawke drops his new album, ‘Lantern,’ via Warp!

The anticipated album (his first solo full length in nearly six years) features collaborations with Antony, Miguel, and more.

“This album is everything I've been working towards. I wanted to make a classic – at least for me and my friends. I never wanted to be any genre. I wanted to be my own thing. Everything,” says Mohawke.

Producer Hudson Mowhawke has been on a meteoric rise the last few years, working with some of the biggest names in hip hop, pop and dance music since starting in a bedroom in Glasgow when he was barely a teenager. From age 15 he was an award winning scratch DJ, producing happy hardcore on cracked software and has since gone on to define a generation of electronic fusion producers. Unlike many of his peers, Hudson has matured into a fully fledged contemporary hit-maker, continually working to break the mould.

Born of the underground club scene in the UK, ‘Hud Mo’ has been releasing music for the last 10 years, cultivating a formidable presence in the community. Although ‘Lantern’ is only Hud Mo's second solo album, he has spent the past six years since his debut releasing hit singles and EPs. His US break-out came in 2012 with TNGHT, the collaborative project with fellow producer Lunice, which saw their production influence the A-list in rap, and help reintroduce the US dance/EDM scene to hip hop as club music. In the two years following, Hudson has worked on releases from Drake, Kanye West, John Legend, Young Thug, Pusha-T, and Antony Hegarty.

Despite becoming one of pops go-to producers, his avid fans know that he's never been tied to one genre, and with ‘Lantern’ we hear the realization of everything he has been working on since that Glasgow bedroom. The first taste of the album, single “Very First Breath,” was named Hottest Record In The World on Annie Mac's show. The epic pop jewel features French vocalist and old friend of Hudson's, Irfane..
