"There are few young UK artists who can unite the affections of Chris Brown, Flying Lotus, Just Blaze, Battles and The Weeknd--however that's just the effect Hudson Mohawke's neon-lit take on postmodern R&B has on people. The Glaswegian producer's ascent has been swift and steady over the past few years. The one-two punch of the Polyfolk Dance EP and full-length Butter has made fans not only out of wide eyed clubgoers, but also the kind of critical minds in the position to make grand statements. One such grand statement in an issue of The Guardian called Hudson Mohawke 'the new J Dilla' while placing him atop a new generation of producers including Mark Ronson and Jamie xx. On 2009's Butter, HudMo took in a spectrum of influences ranging from Cybotron and Outkast to Aaliyah and Prince. Satin Panthers casts just as wide a net in its five tracks, with a particular eye on the energy of early rave records. Fusing the sound of contemporary American R&B and the still-present specter of classic UK rave may sound like an obvious proposition, but nowhere has it been executed so well as here."

Title:	Butter
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	WARP 188CD

"Megawatt R'n'B stars won't be the only ones to take note of Butter, as the ever-growing global network of bass-craving music fans have been clamoring for new material since Hudson Mohwake's lauded Polyfolk Dance EP earlier this year. On that record, HudMo's hyper melodic drum-and-synth sidewinders only hinted at the panoramic pop magic that was to come and with it he found himself name checked by the likes of Rihanna, Goldie, Sa Ra, Busy P, Flying Lotus, Mars Volta & Crookers."
