With hip hop and electronic eclipsing one another quite often these days, it's no wonder Hudson Mohawke and Lunice's newest pet project, TNGHT, has attracted so much attention. Like a true eclipse, it's a rarity because it's rarely done this well. But herein is a perfect example of what it sounds like when an accomplished beatmaker is able to profoundly marry evocative, futuristic beats with just the right amount of hip hop. A rarity though it may be, TNGHT is a wake up call to those of us who may have been too quick to lump recent hip hop-electronic works under the burgeoning trap music genre.
Prior to dropping TNGHT, Mohawke and Lunice let loose an atrociously fresh 28-track mix while on Diplo's BBC Radio show, calling it their "mission statement" of sorts. It involves mixings of 2 Chainz, Waka Flocka, Bun B, Big KRIT, Zebra Katz and is absolutely worth listening to if you enjoyed any aspect of TNGHT.
For more on TNGHT the EP, I give a heavy nod to Rob's in-depth look at the rather hype-worthy album. Below, find the TNGHT BBC Mix in its entirety, uncensored to boot.
