Life and career
Early years and LuckyMe
Birchard is the son of actor and singer Paul Birchard.[8]
At the age of 15, Birchard (under the name DJ Itchy) was the youngest UK DMC finalist.[9][10] His earliest gigs as a club DJ were with Glasgow University's Subcity Radio[11][12][13] where he first appeared as part of the culture city kids show and later as part of other shows including Turntable Science with Pro Vinylist Karim and Cloudo's Happy Hardcore show, under the alias DJ Mayhem.[14] During this period, Birchard formed the LuckyMe collective with childhood friends. He adopted the stage name "Hudson Mohawke" after seeing the name engraved on a statue in the hallway of his accommodation.[15][16] In 2007, Birchard applied to the Red Bull Music Academy and was invited to attend the event in Toronto,[17][18] where he first met Steve Beckett of Warp Records, who was giving a lecture there,[19] and was to sign Hudson Mohawke two years later.[20]
In addition to his solo work, Hudson Mohawke collaborated with Mike Slott as Heralds of Change, releasing a series of 12" EPs including Show You (2006), Sittin' on the Side (2007), Puzzles (2007) and Secrets (2007) on All City Records. Hudson Mo was also DJ/Producer for the now defunct hip hop group Surface Emp alongside MC's Dom Sum and sometimes 2 Can Dan.[21] Surface Empire released the LuckyMe EP in 2005 on Far Cut Records.
