Mohawke – real name Ross Birchard – had previously revealed that he was been working on new music with both Antony Hegarty and Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis.

“The album I’m producing for Anthony is really cool as fuck,” he told NME in September. “It’s really political, very angry, taking on the NSA.” Mohawke was less open about his project with Philippakis however, stating simply that is is “coming along. I think it’ll be pretty special.”

Hudson Mohawke will appear at a number of festivals across the UK and Europe this summer including appearances at Field Day, Parklife, Longitude and Reading & Leeds.
