Guestlist bring you the 5 fundamental tracks behind the Detroit legend’s genius in preparation for his appearance at Attack The Premiere this Friday night.
The Formative Track: Emotional Content
The track that propelled Kenny Dixon Jr.'s career into motion. His sampling of Jimmy Bo Horne's Spank and Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon . Copies of his first release in 1994 now fetch stupid amounts on Discogs.
The Influence: Funkadelic: Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts
The funkin truth. Moodymann cited Funkadelic as one of his main influences in his now-cult Red Bull lecture, and it’s easy to see why. Spiritual shit.
The Party Starter: Shades of Jae
One of the most soulful house records ever, and a record that stands the test of time today. Cemented Moodyman's standing as a Detroit house icon.
The Underrated One: The Third Track
The B-Side to a classic release, The Third Track is Moodymann production at it’s most simple and effective. Not well known, but undoubtedly goes off whenever heard out.
The one for the Aftermath: I Need You So Much
One for the sore heads and battered souls on Saturday. Pure jazz-infused house bliss that will give you some much needed soothing down, after what promises to be a belting evening.
