TNGHT (vowels aren't cool anymr) is a collaborative effort between producers Lunice and Hudson Mohawke. Each artist has generated significant buzz in his own right; Lunice was involved with '212' and HudMo with 'Mercy', two of the biggest hits from the past year or so. I saw Lunice perform live before I knew who he was, and it was something special. His show was great; he played lots of fresh, high energy songs. What impressed me the most was that he was the exact same way. Generally, DJs stand behind their decks, bob their heads a little, and leave getting weird to the crowd. Lunice, however, was head banging in Billy Blanks double time and often stepped away to bust a move or ten. It was incredible. After his set, he was handing out copies of One Hunned Stacks, which got me hooked on his music.
The first time I heard of his new project with Hudson Mohawke was through this promo video:
You're lying if you say that doesn't get you hyped up. You hardly want to take it easy after hearing this right? Well think twice because the title is 'Easy Easy'. It literally feels like we're gonna launch into space. All those crashes and booms and claps typify the chaotic soundscape that these guys create. After such a brief time working together, they've already concocted a perfect blend of trap, bass, hip-hop, and electronica stylings. Their music begs to be danced to. Hard. Knowing them as producers, I at first felt that it lacked vocals, in particular some raw rap verses. I quickly realized the music works just fine on its own, AND rapping would be awesome over it. Versatility will take them far tnght, tmrw, and into the nw yr.
