One of the most enigmatic and charismatic figures of house music, his voice has been clearly amongst the loudest when it comes to preserving the rich heritage of Afro-American music. A cult music hero, a significant part in his appeal lies in remaining resolutely unknowable. An artist who doesn’t make music for the masses to dance to, but rather for the small majority that listens, strangely enough this is an ethos quite resonant to us as we cater to quite a niche ourselves. Think simple loops, filters, atmosphere, unsettling synths, jerking drums, here is a man creating house music where you can hear the grit soaked into every groove. An end of an era, this is WAVLNGTH signing off 2019 with Kenny Dixon Jr aka Moodymann for a 2 city tour across #Mumbai and #Delhi! 

About Moodymann:

An outspoken voice in the normally non-confrontational world of electronic dance music, Moodymann (Kenny Dixon Jr.) is committed to keeping a distinctly black imprint on techno and house.

Moodymann worked at several Detroit record stores in the mid-nineties including a store owned by producer Blake Baxter. During the mid-nineties Kenny was also the resident DJ at the Detroit based Outcast Motorcycle Club. At that time he was known as "House". After his first several releases on Planet E Records Kenny became quite popular in France and from there his popularity grew.

Moodymann's sound is a hybrid form of techno/house dance music arrived at via innovative use of reworked riffs, samples and grooves. While he may frustrate people with his refusal to be interviewed and insistence on reminding people of the genre's origins, the soulfulness of his output is unquestioned. Utilizing classic soul and jazz samples, low-slung bass lines and an approach to drum programming that is diametrically opposed to the tendency to push the tempo faster and faster, he has achieved classic status thanks to gems like "Sunday Morning", "Shades of Jae", and his remix of Innerzone Orchestra's "People Make the World Go Round". Following years of 12" only releases, he compiled his best work on "Silentintroduction", one of the most celebrated albums of the late 90s.
