Hudson Mohawke and Lunice are the two musical masterminds behind the Producer/DJ duo, TNGHT, who have exploded onto the scene in the past year with such hits as “Higher Ground” and a remix of Kanye West’s “Cold.” Their unique blend of hip hop with electronic music as well as the audibly dark undertones hidden beneath their productions has created quite a stir in the scene and their latest release, “Acrylics” is no different. Beginning with a very cool, creepy, and almost evil sounding intro, the song explodes into a myriad of big bass beats accompanied by quick synthesizer patterns and that signature trap snare drum sound. Their sound, however, is unlike anything I’ve heard before and it is in their ability to be unique that their greatest strength as a musical duo is realized. “Acrylics” is now available for purchase on iTunes so pick it up on your way to see them this weekend as they make their Coachella debut.
