Hudson Mohawke and The-Dream @ Fonda Theater- Sunday, October 18th

Trap, electronic, hip hop and R&B all come together for one show. Scottish producer and DJ, Hudson Mohawke, and American singer and record producer, The-Dream, are making a stop in Los Angeles on Sunday, October 18 at the Fonda Theater in Hollywood. After touring successfully as both a solo artist and as one half of the electronic duo TNGHT (with Canadian producer Lunice), Mohawke became recognized as a skilled producer when Kanye West sampled one of his songs on the Yeezus album and was subsequently signed to West’s label, GOOD Music, as an in-house producer. Today he still brings intensity to the stage with his electronic music while implementing other genres and sounds into his sets. On tour with Hudson Mohawke is The-Dream, known for singing sexy R&B hits such as “I Love Your Girl” and "Shawty is da Sh*!," as well as writing many pop hits from the past decade (“Baby” by Justin Bieber and “Umbrella” by Rihanna are just two out of many). Tickets to the event are on sale for $22.50 and the event is ages 18 and over.
