XLR8R

Representing the Netherlands-based collective Beat Dimensions, Hudson Mohawke joins the circle of hip-hop producers following the electro-heavy footsteps of the late J Dilla and company. "Trace" runs through synth squiggles, deep hip-hop percussion, and tons of layered effects, helping propel a scene bourgeoning with appreciation for the untapped. Alongside his counterparts on Cinnaman & Jay Scarlett Present: Beat Dimensions Vol. 1, Hudson and company may be the face of the future.
