DJ Kicks: Moodymann Coke Bottle Clear Triple Heavyweight Vinyl

In 2016, a year after the 50th entry in the longrunning series, none other but the iconic Detroit artist, DJ and producer Moodymann stepped up to helm the next landmark edition of DJKicks, his first ever multiartist DJ mix compilation. Following K7039s 40 th anniversary, this classic DJKicks mix is now being repressed on coke bottle clear vinyl.Born Kenny Dixon Jr., Moodymann is a oneofakind electronic music icon, hailing from, and wholly synonymous with the Motor City. He is an outspoken, impossibly charismatic artist who has been putting a distinctive and soulful stamp on house and techno since the early 90s. Melting together jazz, funk, soul, blues and rock in captivating ways, he is responsible for some of electronic musics most definitive tracks, EPs and LPs on labels like Planet E, Peacefrog and his own KDJ and Mahogani Music imprints. As able to serve up the sweetest and most sensual sounds as he is the darkest and most depraved grooves, his own unique voice and stream of conscious musings infuse expertly soughtout samples for music that is decisively alive and authentic.Across 75 minutes and 30 tracks, Moodymann does not disappoint despite being a notorious vinyl fetishist, Dixons aim is to present music of quality, not to oneup fellow collectors. Rather than serving up ridiculously rare or hard tofind records, he instead focuses on creating a libidinous, bluesdrenched mood that takes in heartbreaking soul, gorgeous hiphop and lovefuelled house.In addition to cuts from his own creative circle, the mix features 11 exclusive Moodymann edits. Like everything Kenny Dixon Jr. touches, his DJKicks showcases the taste, skill, and soul of a dance music original.
