È stato un agosto molto caldo quello di Hudson Mohawke e James Blake.
La diatriba tra i due è nata quando, in risposta ad un fan che auspicava una collaborazione, HudMo rivela che qualcosa in cantiere c’era e che aveva anche inviato delle strumentali da cui partire. Negli stessi tweet, aggiunge che in quel periodo era in contatto anche con Frank Ocean.
We demo'd a few as well as Frank O n myself but I can't get into anymore trouble for leaks:/ https://t.co/Bp0sabl9gx

Quando i media hanno iniziato a riprendere la notizia, Blake ha subito preso le distanze.
As talented as I think he is, I've never worked with Hudson Mohawke and don't know what he's talking about. I'm respectfully baffled.

A questo punto, è HudMo a chiarire meglio.
Maybe need to clarify few things here…James tried a few things with some insts of mine for my last record but didn't come to anything

Frank and I worked together on some things but didn't really come to anything either. That's why I left those tweets up though

As I said doubt anything will see the light of day cos both were a few years ago now. Would be amazing if they did tho. Anywaysssss all good

Ma la risposta dell’autore di The Colour In Anything non deve essere andata giù al producer di Glasgow che ha continuato.
can’t believe i have to prove this. Seems so petty. nothing against james – but who do these mags think i am?!

Inevitabile quindi la risposta di Blake.

Arriva quindi il turno di Hudson Mohawke che prova a dirottare la cosa in privato, lontano dai social media.
@jamesblake I'll get in touch when I'm back n talk privately, this is blown way out of proportion now.140 characters taken out of context

Il vincitore, se un vincitore deve esserci, in tutta questa storia è ovviamente il terzo: Oneohtrix Point Never.
