I think there was a point where people began to think that Bronto Skylift were no more, so it was a welcome surprise when they announced out of nowhere they had a follow-up album on the horizon.

#Vibe is back with Craig Johnston. Today’s pick is the spasm-inducing Hudson Mohawke or HudMo as he is also dubbed. This is quite fitting as he will be playing East End Social’s Last Big Weekend this Sunday! Turn it up loud! It is the motherfucking weekend!
