Hudson Mohawke + Lunice = TNGHT, “Bugg’n” = Batshit Insane

Towards the end of 2011, a video surfaced of Lunice dropping a brand new collaboration between himself and fellow LuckyMe-er Hudson Mohawke. Then, Rustie dropped the track again in a Boiler Room set. In the months since, the internet has been ablaze with rumors surrounding the collaboration and it has become common knowledge that the duo will go under the moniker, TNGHT. When HudMo and Lunice appeared on the same stage, as TNGHT, at SXSW this past week, word spread that an EP on LuckyMe/Warp was imminent by the end of the calendar year. This morning, we have been graced with the first non rip/live TNGHT song. And. This. Shit. Is. Mad. It is no surprise that these two would go the distance with regards to eardrum shattering bass, but “Bugg’N” is out of control. I don’t even know how to describe this. Once a (at least semi) talented MC learns to rap over these types of beats, it’s over. Hip hop’s going to the stratosphere. At this point, all we can do is wait for the next TNGHT track. Hopefully(!) the one from Rustie’s Boiler Room set. For now, pump up the volume and let it all soak in.
