There are many new producers coming through at the moment who are making big waves. The 80′s kids, now it’s our turn, and our influences are wide. Here are a few I’m into:
Hudson Mohwake is a Glaswegian genius. He was quickly snapped up by Warp and has been written about in most respectable music magazines this year. Some call it dubstep, some call it wonky, who gives a fuck what it’s called, genres mean nothing anyway. Why do people feel the need to label everything? Fuck them.
Anyway, this track is quite an old Hud Mo banger, it sold out within days of going on sale and is now worth serious $
Whilst I’m on the LuckyMe tip (represent Scotland!), you have to check Rustie. He’s getting as much press hype as Hud Mo, but his style is much more aggressive. Zig Zag was an instant classic…
Blaqstarr is bad ass, he’s from Baltimore and makes music that is hard to define but is ace as fuck. This is a track that he did with MIA that is Wire-inspired.
Gaslamp Killer is a crazy producer from LA, he’s down with people like FlyLo and Samiyam, so obviously a dude.
Shed make wonderful electronic music, thanks god they’ve strayed from the dull and lifeless path that is German minimal techno.
Modeselektor are my heros. Two crazy guys from Berlin who make all sorts of mad and forward thinking music. Their lives shows are pretty special too, check them at a festival this summer as part of Moderat, their colab with Apararat. Suckerpin is incredible…
