Scottish producer Hudson Mohawke has shared a new remix of Boards Of Canada’s Amo Roden Bishop, taken from their In A Beautiful Place Out in the Country EP. In some ways, this is HudMo’s second round with the track by his fellow Scots. Last year he shared an unheard remix of Amo Roden Bishop by TNGHT (his now defunct trap duo with Lunice) as part of an hour long playlist for Beats 1.

This new version cuts the length of the original by about half and brings a grimier feel to Boards Of Canada’s experimental electronica. Splintering synths and hefty beats take the place of the lighter percussion and cosmic feel. Still retaining the familiar relentless melody, HudMo’s version of Amo Roden Bishop drops into darker, more industrial places which have little to do with the ethereal ambience of the original. In place of Boards Of Canada’s atmospheric pauses, HudMo brings in builds and drops that edge towards dubstep territory.
Hudson Mohawke is currently touring around North America, and it has now been confirmed that he will make an appearance at Coachella later this month. With dates around Europe throughout the coming months, he will also play at Primavera and Mysteryland festivals.

Formerly of experimental hip hop outfit cLOUDDEAD, beatsmith Odd Nosdam will be dropping his latest LP Sisters this Friday.
A multimedia project, the album will also be released as a digital version and VHS which showcase a dazzling array of psychedelic and glitchy visuals.
Paving the way for the release, iconic Scottish electronic duo Boards of Canada have reworked the album’s title track Sisters.
With both Nosdam and Boards sharing an affinity for analogue equipment and boundary pushing arrangements, it’s of little surprise that the musicians have crossed paths before. In 2006, Nosdam remixed Boards’ Dayvan Cowboy which appeared on 2005’s Campfire Headphase LP. The reclusive Scottish duo aren’t usually ones to work with other’s material but it seems Odd Nosdam is one of the rare exceptions.
Driven by a stuttering synth bass, the Sisters incorporates transient vocals, tranquil organs and chiming ambient sounds to creates an immersive yet otherworldly soundscape. The accompanying visuals are comprised of a collage of seemingly unrelated used-footage. The deft touch comes with the visuals’ psychedelic treatment. The superimposing of a tapestry of digital art into the already glitchy footage creates a stunning visual effect.
