Set the Roof

In 2022, “Cbat,” an 11-year-old song by Hudson Mohawke, went viral due to the pure comedy of imagining it on a sex playlist. Such an honor might as well be a Grammy nod for the Scottish producer, whose maximalist electronics have always been served with a side of absurdist humor. On *Set the Roof*, he’s joined by the Atlanta-based producer Nikki Nair for a six-track speedrun of house euphorics sprinkled with a dash of breakbeats and a hint of Crazy Frog energy. (For those seeking something even weirder than “Cbat” to sabotage date nights worldwide, there’s “More Recently,” which sounds like two bulldozers trying to make a baby.)
