Moodymann
Moodymann is the moniker under which Kenny Dixon Jr produces and DJs. He is a techno/house musician based in Detroit. He has created a thoroughly hybrid form of techno/house dance music via his innovative use of reworked riffs, samples and grooves taken from that city's historically influential jazz, soul, funk and disco scene. Some call it cut-up Detroit house. He offers a friendly wink backwards at the innovative early 1990s rave scene musicians through his extensive use of old movie sound track samples, mainly culled from the old blaxploitation and b-movie genres. He has been known to DJ behind a screen. He is one of the 3 Chairs. Albums released Silent Introduction Original Release Date: November 18, 1997 Label: Planet E Mahogany Brown Original Release Date: April 20, 1998 Label: Peacefrog Forevernevermore Original Release Date: 2000 Label: Peacefrog Silence in the Secret Garden Original Release Date: June 10, 2003 Label: Peacefrog Black Mahogani Original Release Date: July 13, 2004 Label: Peacefrog Black Mahogani 2 Original Release Date: October 26, 2004 Label: Peacefrog Also have kdj label.
