Moodymann
Detroit's Kenny Dixon Jr aka Moodymann is as infamous for his off-the-wall personality as his formidable DJ sets and uncompromising house and techno releases, which draw on his roots in soul and funk, and fuse them into a hazy nostalgic mood of 70s roller discos and tough guy cop flicks. Renowned for his confrontational themes, controversial sleeve notes and outspoken views on the American experience, Kenny's label KDJ has released a string of revered 12"s by himself and fellow 313 collaborators. He also formed the three chairs project with Marcellus Pittman and Theo Parrish.
