b, 21b, 21I think only in a very limited pressing, but there's another 12" coming up that features Freaky MF. I can send the mp3 if you want..?b, 21b, 21Anyone got this KDJ record by the way?
Maybe a good Moodymann quote could spark this thread up:b, 21b, 21???white suburban kids, sampling black music all the time??? you???re making black music sound silly, weak and tired.???
It's the monthly Moodyman thread! b, 21b, 21Casual racism aside, I like his music.

http://www.fullbozman.com/b, 21b, 21AFter about 30 minutes he gets way too preachy and starts dissing people using Serat-o which made him look lame. Seriously I know dj's who have some incredible collections yet chose serat-o for practical reasons. There's no way I'm going to a gig with 4 crates anymore.

b, 21b, 21enjoyed his set at southport weekender, he played all vinyl.
I enjoy the focus and craft put into these guy's music, but this kind of aesthetic elitism is never a good look. The sanctimonious attitude of many creators and fans of this scene turn me off.

b, 21b, 21It's an attempt to protect what they feel is worthy of holding sacred. They even go so far as to do little to no press for their own releases, etc. Def helps sort out the heads from fair weathers. I lean towards respecting how they go about doing business. It really is about the music.

I'd rather have 1000 Microwave DJ's throwing great parties than 1000 vinyl purists making great white label releases in batches of 500.
if they didnt make amazing music it would be very easy to dislike them, but because they do make amazing music its kind of like ... hmm.b, 21b, 21esp because '1000 microwave djs' spinning blog house are by and large not making particularly good music

b, 21b, 21b, 21b, 21b, 21but then again i assume that guys like moodyman play longer tracks, thus having to carry less in total. Try that when u play funk, hiphop or so and when u like to quickmix. 4 crates for a night was not unusual for me. Then again, i dunno, i've never seen moodyman spin, so i could be wrong...
I agree with what both Thermos and Drew are saying. House music has definitely been taken over, co-opted and I understand why KDJ or Theo P feel that way, especially since it concerns a music that is a direct product of where they grew up.b, 21b, 21At the same time I think great worthwhile music deserves to be heard by as many people as possible. I'd rather be able to choose from a range of clubs where "good music" is being played as opposed to a handfull.b, 21b, 21In terms of Dixon's attitude on Microwave, he prob has the artistic luxury of just having to play music he actually LIKES from his record collection and having the freight taken care of when traveling.
and not to thread jack I picked up some old DJ Sneak twelve from 96 (?) over the weekend. Heavy moodyman/dez vibes.

b, 21b, 21Well, I dunno that there's too much wrong with being serious about what you do. I mean, for a long time those cats and others like them have been coming to Europe and quite often playing their music to rooms full of nothing but pill-monkeys who aren't exactly what you'd call a discerning crowd, so in that respect I can understand them wanting to emphasise that, yes, there is a point to what we're trying to do, and yes, it is about tradition, and yes, it's important to us that what we do has a connection to those traditions. On the other hand, don't dis the next man just because he does his job with a different set of tools, unless you know for sure that he hasn't put the work in and is just taking a short cut, because it makes you sound like you're on some "disco taliban" shit otherwise.b, 21b, 21I do know, though, that KDJ pissed off a lot of people in the UK with that comment about "white kids from the suburbs", and there were quite a few heads in London on some "F*ck Kenny Dixon" shit for a while. Until the next record came out, that is, and then it was "he's a f*ckin' genius" again...
his statements about race are on point as far as economics go, but his statements about music are really narrow and boring - which is funny because his music isnt narrow or boring at ALL - its like imagine a conscious rapper who talks all the boring-ass time about how conscious rap >>>> gangsta rap ... and then he drops a classic record!!! that doesnt happen in rap music - i dont mean 'he drops a halfway decent headwrap effort,' i mean drops straight-up classics like theo parrish and moodymann do! haha its funny really

KDJ is old school, purist kind of DJ. At Apartment last month, he was on the mic in between cuts talking about how one of the needles was effed up and "that's aight, we're gonna do this like we're in Mamma's basement". b, 21b, 21Sure, there may have been skips and some pockets of dead air, but he didn't get thrown off by the technical deficiencies of the booth, just made a good night happen for everyone in the spot. Actually added a lot of charm to the set.b, 21b, 21

b, 21b, 21Exactly.b, 21b, 21People paid to go see him. So I cold care less about going to see Kool Herc playing the same records he's been spinning for the past 35 years if they sound like sh*t and he doesn't know how to mix. b, 21That's why this mentality of "keeping it real" with only vinyl sets is lame. If the next guy is rocking Serat-o and has some exclusive edits or can mix songs more efficiently I rather go see that guy and not the guy who's stuck in the past and plays all 7 or 8 minutes of each and every disco cut.b, 21b, 21 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nagl2.gif" alt="" 21 IMO
I posted a story on here once before about how Moodymann showed up to a gig late and seemingly drunk/high with several family members in tote and proceeded to phone-in a set -- taking too long to pick out the next record, letting the first record hit the run-out groove, a little dead space, no cohesion whatsoever.b, 21b, 21I gave him the benefit of the doubt but it was poor showing.
