Hudson Mohawke, born Ross Matthew Birchard on February 11, 1986, in Glasgow, Scotland, is a highly regarded producer and DJ known for his innovative work in electronic music and hip-hop. As a teenage prodigy, he was the youngest UK DMC finalist at age 15, showcasing his exceptional turntablism skills. Hudson Mohawke emerged as a significant force in the electronic music scene in the late 2000s as a founding member of the LuckyMe collective, known for breaking new waves in beat music and collaboration.

His career took a meteoric rise with his signing to the influential Warp Records, with whom he released his debut album "Butter" in 2009. This album established his distinct sound, blending bombastic, bass-heavy beats with idiosyncratic synthesizers, and hip-hop influences. HudMo, as he's also known, eventually caught the attention of industry heavyweights, leading to collaborative efforts with Kanye West, resulting in production work on the albums "Yeezus" and "The Life of Pablo." He is also one-half of the duo TNGHT with Canadian producer Lunice, an outfit that earned widespread acclaim for their self-titled EP and its impact on the trap music genre. Mohawke's recent releases, like "Cry Sugar" and "Pushing On (Always Like Never Before)," continue to showcase his evolution and the versatility of his sound—effortlessly moving from thunderous, club-ready tracks to more intricate and emotive electronic compositions. His artistry remains a beacon of creativity and innovation in the contemporary music landscape.
