This track is his first release proper and is already one of those releases that absolutely everyone seems to be asking us about. This features Hud Mo on the re-jig tip, taking some well known R&B tracks (including what must be one of the finest tracks about masturbation ever recorded – Tweet’s immense “Ooops”), slowing them down, deconstructing and rebuilding them with a deep, bass-heavy edge and a loose, almost frayed percussive swing.

Hudson Mohawke is a man on everyone’s lips right now, a producer whose reputation is soaring even though he’s barely released any material, and a huge influence and production partner for Rustie, who’s also seemingly drooled over by anyone and everyone with an interest in hip hop, dubstep, dub techno and all forms of deviant musics since the release of his seminal “Jagz The Smack” EP and remix for the Hyperdub imprint in recent months. Hudson has already been snapped up as the latest signing for the Warp label, and 2008 promises to be an incredible year for the kind of slowed down, squashed and loose Hip Hop variations he, Rustie and the likes of Flying Lotus have helped shape.
