Iconic Detroit DJ and producer Moodymann is at the helm for his\u003cbr\u003efirst ever multi-artist DJ mix compilation. Born Kenny Dixon Jr., Moodymann\u003cbr\u003eis a one-of-a-kind electronic music icon, hailing from, and wholly\u003cbr\u003esynonymous with the Motor City. He is an outspoken, impossibly charismatic\u003cbr\u003eartist who has been putting a distinctive and soulful stamp on\u003cbr\u003ehouse and techno since the early 90s. Melting together jazz, funk, soul,\u003cbr\u003eblues and rock in captivating ways, he is responsible for some of electronic\u003cbr\u003emusic’s most definitive tracks, EPs and LPs on labels like Planet E,\u003cbr\u003ePeacefrog and his own KDJ and Mahogani Music imprints. As able to\u003cbr\u003eserve up the sweetest and most sensual sounds as he is the darkest and\u003cbr\u003emost depraved grooves, his own unique voice and stream of conscious\u003cbr\u003emusings infuse expertly sought-out samples for music that is decisively\u003cbr\u003ealive and authentic. Across 75 minutes and 30 tracks, Moodymann does not disappoint:\u003cbr\u003edespite being a notorious vinyl fetishist, Dixon’s aim is to present music\u003cbr\u003eof quality, not to one-up fellow collectors. Rather than serving up\u003cbr\u003eridiculously rare or hard-to-find records, he instead focuses on creating a\u003cbr\u003elibidinous, blues-drenched mood that takes in heart-breaking soul,\u003cbr\u003egorgeous hip-hop and love-fuelled house. In addition to cuts from his own\u003cbr\u003ecreative circle, the mix features 11 exclusive Moodymann edits. Like\u003cbr\u003eeverything Kenny Dixon Jr. touches, DJ-Kicks showcases the taste, skill,\u003cbr\u003eand soul of a dance music original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 472px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3873587384\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=0f91ff\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/moodymann.bandcamp.com\/album\/dj-kicks-moodymann\"\u003eDJ-Kicks: Moodymann by Moodymann\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/release\/8108236-Moodymann-DJ-Kicks\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"DISCOGS\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDISCOGS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blueprint Grooves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47342422130882,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/7518\/7138\/files\/MoodyManDJkicks.jpg?v=1775085362","url":"https:\/\/blueprintgrooves.com\/products\/dj-kicks-moodymann-dj-kicks","provider":"Blueprint Grooves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
