rough trade exclusive with a bonus 30 minute mix from hudson mohawke. is it turbo soul? neon r&b? hologram rock? kaleidoscope funk? many records claim to defy categorisation, this one means it. hudson mohawke (22 year old glaswegian ross birchard) has kept ahead of the curve making mixtapes age 10, putting beats together on his playstation age 12 and winning the uk dmc championships age 14 (the youngest ever winner). the latest step in this process is 'butter'. 18 doses of melt in the mouth r&b with breakneck beats and instant appeal. by enlisting a select crew of vocalists for the 'butter' sessions, hudson mohawke has painted his own version of a 21st century smash hits. from the usa's east coast comes olivier daysoul while glasgow' buzzed about nadsroic adds her haunted brothel flow to 'allhot'. this album is pure hyper melodic drum-and-synth sidewinder pop fire!
