The session with Hudson Mohawke and Eve Barlow will take the form of an interview with the producer about his background, his path to his career, his experiences of the industry, his biggest breakthroughs and successes and his advice for students who are looking to forge a similar path to him. There will be opportunity for questions.
Hudson Mohawke (Ross Birchard) has been on a meteoric rise the last few years, working with some of the biggest names in hip hop, pop and dance music. Starting from 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 - he came to define a generation of electronic fusion producers but unlike many of his peers, Hudson has matured into a fully fledged contemporary hitmaker continually working to break the mold.
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. 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 remind the US dance scene of Hip Hop as the most important contemporary club music. To date - Hudson has worked with Drake, Kanye West, John Legend, Travis $cott, Future, Lil Wayne, Young Thug, Pusha-T, Tinashe, Blood Orange, The Foals, Frank Ocean, Bjork and Antony & The Jonsons.
