If Yeezus proves one thing, it's that Kanye West and his music continue to divide. His new project builds on the experimentalism of 808s & Heartbreak and that in itself will be enough to put traditionalists off. The producer-on-the-mic has built a reputation for setting the musical zeitgeist, it's just that it often feels he keeps company with lesser sung trendsetters in the hope of capturing some of their sheen. The fact Rick Rubin said the project was rushed for submission doesn't help any either. Whatever the consensus next week on [...]
Only four days before to its official release, Kanye West 's Yeezus caught a case of the leaks. As the entire Internet joins in critiquing its each and every detail, the full track listing has found its way into our hands. Not only do we get to check out the song titles, but the producers and guest features who worked on the album with West have also been revealed. Among the artists involved are Hudson Mohawke, Daft Punk, TNGHT, Symbolyc One, RZA, No I.D., Rick Rubin, Chief Keef, Justin Vernon and more. For those of [...]
Kanye West's 6th studio album Yeezus has leaked ahead of its June 18th release date. Always a strong supporter of electronic music and a pioneer of the electronic hip hop crossover, Kanye's latest album has employed the talents of Daft Punk, Hudson Mohawke, and Gesaffelstein for production duties on a handful of tracks. A quick look at the tracklisting and production credits indicates that the rumored Skrillex collaboration did not make the cut. Head past the break for the tracklisting and a full stream via SoundIsStyle. [...]
![[Watch] Kanye West Debuts New Music at Governors Ball](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4999622_lg.jpg)
This year's Governors Ball was messy , to say the least. The festival organizers had to reschedule much of the Friday night lineup and heavy downpours left the festival grounds a muddy pool. Despite this, the weekend was a success, and how could it not be? Kanye West closed out the festival Sunday night, and as expected it was pretty outstanding. During his headlining set, Ye debuted a number of songs from the fast-approaching Yeezus , including the previously heard "Black Skinhead" and "New Slaves" as well as new tracks [...]

Kanye West held a listening party for his new album Yeezus in Brooklyn last night. According to reports , he previewed 10 tracks, kicking off with "On Site", "Black Skinhead", "I Am A God", and "New Slaves". Next, he played a track featuring Chief Keef and Justin Vernon ("Can't Handle My Liquor"), and another with Kid Cudi. One track reportedly sampled Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" flipped with TNGHT's "Higher Ground" . In a brief speech following its initial playback, Kanye said [...]

Those aware of Hudson Mohawke , one half of hip-hop producer duo TNGHT with Lunice , may be aware of the frequent Kanye West connections. Last weekend, during a set at Parklife, Mohawke released a shimmering new track with some brand new verses from West over them. The track, which features new verses over TNGHT's 'R U Ready', comes only a week before West's brand new album. Considering the connection, this could be a hint of what will come from Yeezus . As an added bonus, Mohawke [...]

With just one week to go before the release of Kanye West' s sixth solo album, Yeezus , much remains unknown. Although the album's minimalistic artwork was confirmed as real, it's still unclear what's on the flip side of the blank CD, or the significance of the red tape. There's no sign of a tracklist, no plans for a single, and Kanye's Twitter feed has been limited to promoting the fourth straight week of "New Slaves" projections. At it stands now, it's unlikely little more will revealed prior to the album's release on June 18th. In [...]

Hudson Mohawke has been killing it for the last while, from releasing enormous tracks with Lunice as TNGHT, to being the main producer and collaborator on Kanye West's pending album, Yeezus. Before releasing his sophomore album, due in 2014, he'll be on the road this summer for a headlining tour beginning on July 16, as [...]

Lunice's other half and Kanye West Collaborator, Hudson Mohawke of TNGHT just announced that he will be embarking on a solo DJ tour in North America in July. Although he's mostly known for his hiphop- tinged productions and anticipated collaboration on Kanye's Yeezus, the burgeoning artist has garnered a respected career amongst hiphop's game changers. According to the press release, he is currently at work on some new TNGHT material as well as a solo LP that will be released in 2014. In addition to his solo tour dates, he will be rejoining with [...]
During his set at ParkLife Festival over the weekend, HudMo kept the previews of new music from Mr. West rolling right along by premiering a new joint that seems to be recorded over TNGHT's "R U Ready" . No word on if this joint will be included on Yeezus, but hopefully we'll get to hear it in mp3 quality soon. Props to P&P for the heads up. The post Video: Hudson Mohawke Previews Another New Track From Kanye appeared first on Fake Shore Drive .

Hudson Mohawke 's role within Kanye West's circle continues to expand as the Glaswegian producer keeps debuting new music from the G.O.O.D. Music leader. Over the weekend, HudMo hit the stage at Parklife and dropped an 808s & Heartbreak -esque joint from Yeezy over the " R U Ready? " beat by TNGHT , which is HudMo's duo with Lunice. Mind you, this all happened while Kanye himself was performing new music from his upcoming Yeezus album at Governors Ball . Hmm. What does it all mean?! You can [...]

Last night Kanye West closed out a very sloppy weekend at NYC's Governors Ball in massive fashion. With Yeezus set to drop on June 18, the emcee/producer extraordinaire debuted a couple of new cuts that are rumored to be on the upcoming album. In addition he also unveiled a new stage design and delivered some [...]

Scottish DJ wunderkind Hudson Mohawke has seemingly unveiled another new Kanye West track, which Pitchfork points out uses TNGHT 's "R U Ready" beat (TNGHT comprises Mohawke and Lunice ). The DJ played the track during his set at Parklife Festival in the UK this weekend, and it's more in the 808s And Heartbreak mold, with Yeezy's sad robot Auto-Tune croon back. West laments "You could've been somebody" and then an ominous beat kicks in, making for a dialed back song compared to his confirmed new joints. That said, at the end [...]

I morgon är det dags för den något mer creddiga av Stockholms stora dansfestivaler: Dans Dakar. Den årliga endagsfestivalen uppstod ur askan av gratisfestivalen Pop Dakar, som alltså bytte namn och inriktning och började ta ut ett överkomligt biljettpris (i år 545 kr) . Tidigare år har världsnamn som Paul Kalkbrenner och Crystal Castles uppträtt, men i år är de stora namnen fler och större (och överlag bättre, även om inget är i klass med Crystal Castles). Festivalen headlinas av en urstark trio i legendariska The Prodigy samt de två något mer moderna namnen Justice och Röyksopp. Alltsammans hittar [...]

Bestival is just over three months away now, and so it's about that time where they share another impressive list of acts that have been added to the bill. The festival shared the new additions to the line-up earlier this evening, with British/Spanish psychedelic rockers Crystal Fighters and Glaswegian beat behemoth Hudson Mohawke (who's been working closely with Kanye on his forthcoming album 'Yeezus') both making the cut. Other newly announced acts include Sunday Best signee Valerie June, the hotly-tipped Troumaca, Jon Hopkins and Mancunian DJ legend Greg Wilson. With all these new acts [...]
