UK based FACT
magazine has reported that Glaswegian beatmaker and DJ Hudson Mohawke has just
been signed to Kanye West's label as a producer.
HudMo's management company have confirmed that he “signed to Very GOOD
Beats as a producer this week.” Very GOOD Beats is the production
component of G.O.O.D. Music that also counts Hit-Boy among its roster. However,
the producer is still signed to Warp for his artist releases.
G.O.O.D Music's recent album Cruel Summer featured HudMo's production
throughout it. It's a great album for summer listening. We're looking forward
to more G.O.O.D. Music and HudMo collaborations in the future! Check
out the Cruel Summer album here in the meantime.
Disturbed fans will be pleased to know that frontman David Draiman's side
project band Device
has announced the release of their self-titled debut album as April
5th.
We're told this debut is not a metal album; Draiman says,
“it's influenced by early industrial rock (ie. Nine Inch Nails, Ministry)
and has a dark electronic vibe. At the same time, these are big, anthemic, and
intensely melodic songs. It's futuristic rock.”
Whatever sound it is we're excited because the album features guest artists
such as Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath, Serj Tankian from System Of A Down,
M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, and Halestorm's Lizzy Hale and Tom Morello
from Rage Against The Machine.
Pre-order
Device's debut album now. Make sure to check out their Facebook page and Twitter to stay in the loop with
news about the band. Rumour has it there is a tour on the way too!

This just in (excuse the pun :P), we were pretty excited to hear
Justin Timberlake's new song featuring Jay-Z,
Suit and Tie, which is produced by Timbaland. Check out the song and let us
know what you think of it?
Justin made a statement on his own website that his upcoming album entitled
The 20/20 Experience will be released sometime this year and he
has had the best time making this album since June last year!
He added: “The inspiration for this really came out of the blue and to
be honest, I didn't expect anything out of it. I just went into the studio and
started playing around with some sounds and songs. It was probably the best time
I've had in my career… Just creating with no rules and/or end goal in mind and
really enjoying the process. What I came up with is something I couldn't be
more excited about! It is full of inspiration that I grew up listening to and
some newfound muses that I've discovered along the way.”
JT's previous two albums were phenomenal so we can't wait to see what other
tricks he has up his sleeves!
