Hudson Mohawke, (Ross Birchard), is an electronic music producer/DJ from Glasgow, Scotland, affiliated with the LuckyMe collective.
His musical education began at a young age thanks to his American-born dad, who was a funk and soul DJ on Radio Clyde in the 80s. By the end of primary school, Ross had discovered hardcore and jungle, and was making mixtapes for his friends. At 15, he became the youngest ever UK DMC Mixing Championships finalist.
He is signed to Warp Records and released his debut album on Warp, called Butter in October 2009. He attributes his production style to an early involvement in turntablism.
