Ross Matthew Birchard (born 11 February 1986), better known by the stage name Hudson Mohawke, is a Scottish producer, composer, and DJ from Glasgow.[6][7] He is known for his work in 21st century hip-hop and electronic music. A founding member of the UK based record label LuckyMe,[8] his fractured take on hip-hop made him a leading figure in the late-2000s wonky scene.[1] He released his debut album Butter in 2009 on Warp Records. He has followed with the solo albums Lantern (2015) and Cry Sugar (2022), both on Warp.

Birchard is also one-half of the duo TNGHT with Canadian producer Lunice; their eponymous EP was released in 2012. That year, Birchard signed with Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music production team, contributing to the label compilation Cruel Summer (2012) and West's LP Yeezus (2013). He subsequently became an in-demand producer, working with artists such as West, Pusha T, Drake, A$AP Rocky, Lil Wayne, Anohni, and Danny L Harle.[1] In 2022, Birchard's 2011 song "Cbat" became an Internet meme and went viral on social media.
