It was time to shut down this year's The FADER FORT Presented by Converse once and for all, so we called on electronic mastermind Hudson Mohawke to headline. After a blistering lil' teaser of some of his biggest hits, including "Chimes," Mohawke brought out some special friends. Travi$ Scott—in SXSW-ready jeans and a down jacket—came out swinging for renditions of "Mamacita" and "Upper Echelon." The rapper and producer are well acquainted: Scott had previously jumped on a remix of Mohawke's "Chimes," and the two raged onstage in NYC last year. They followed up with a performance of "Skyfall," Scott's Young Thug-featuring banger. Travi$ announced to the crowd that Hudson Mohawke is "his favorite fucking DJ" before jumping into the crowd to rage to "All Day" with the rest of us.
Some highlights from the set:

He did "Overnight Celebrity." The rapper and producer have never officially collaborated, but HudMo had remixed the banger on SoundCloud back in 2010. So that's that! This year's FORT left us starry-eyed and rain-damp in the Austin moonlight. Peace out Texas.
