5 of Hudson Mohawke's best beats

by Aaron Zorgel

It’s appearing as though Hudson Mohawke, one half of electro production powerhouse TNGHT, has signed to Very GOOD Beats Inc., the production arm of Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music label. This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise to anyone, since the producer earned credits on three tracks from Cruel Summer, including 2012’s certified banger-of-the-year “Mercy.”

Hudson Mohawke’s management confirmed the signing in an email to FACT Magazine, though they did specify that he would still be releasing original music via Warp Records. For what it’s worth, Hudson’s Twitter account doesn’t seem ready to speak on the news:

Sorry Hud Mo, we just wanted to congratulate you. G.O.O.D. Music is about to get G.O.O.D.E.R.

To tentatively mark the occasion, here are five of our favourite Hudson Mohawke-produced beats.
