Embrace is pleased to announce HUDSON MOHAWKE will perform at Wrongbar on Thursday, March 25, 2010.
HUDSON MOHAWKE, (b. Ross Birchard), also known as DJ Itchy, Hudson Mo or Hud Mo, is an Electronic music producer/DJ from Glasgow, Scotland, affiliated with the LuckyMe collective of musicians and artists. He is signed to Warp Records and released his debut album Butter on that label in October 2009.
At the age of 15 Birchard, under the name DJ Itchy, was the youngest ever UK DMC finalist. His earliest gigs as a club DJ were with Glasgow Uni’s Subcity Radio where he was part of the culture city kids show and later other shows including Turntable Science with Pro Vinylist Karim and Cloudo’s Happy Hardcore show. Birchard became Hudson Mohawke after seeing the name engraved on a statue in the hallway of his accommodation. He was signed to Warp Records despite a very limited track record of official releases; the bulk of his releases were unofficial tracks and DJ mixes circulated on the Internet. His first official release to get major notice was “Free Mo”, a track on the Ubiquity Records various-artists compilation Choices, Vol. 1 (2007); subsequently, he was featured as a remixer on Choices, Vol. 2 (2007). In 2008 his 12” EP Ooops! on LuckyMe/Wireblock became an underground sensation, particularly once word spread of his recording contract with Warp.

MYMANHENRI
A long time beat fanatic, mymanhenri made his name through classic boom bap. A product of the golden era, he found himself immersed in hip hop, with the classic tools of the trade: 1200s. Adding to his tutelage was his love of electronic. So it was inevitable that he found a home in the inescapable lure of the more recent movement of future beats. Considered one of Toronto's ambassador of this new sound, he now criss crosses across continents reporting on the scene he admires via his blog (www.92bpm.com) and as a participant nurturing this musical landscape, curating with the likes of Nosaj Thing, Gaslamp Killer, Daedelus, and a recent crowning tour w/ Flying Lotus in the summer of 2009.
