Oh hell yes, this thread has potential! I've got some stuff, but I don't have time to deal with all this mp3 business today. Be back tomorrow with some KDJ. And maybe some Theo P too.

Here's my last upload for now, Moodymann live @ WJLB 12-21-2003
Nice thread. When those records came out I was losing my mind. "The day we lost the soul" is one of my favorites. He's probably my favorite house producer of all time. "In Loving Memory" made me almost shit my pants when it dropped. The untitled one, with the samples of the Electrifying Mojo interviewing Prince is great too. The double pack with all the Prince samples got a lot of play from me.
OK, bump time. Here's a lovely one from his Pitch Black City pseudonym featuring Ms. Sweed again:
Pitch Black City feat. Roberta Sweed - "Runaway"[/b]
More to come???I'm going to try to find some stuff that hasn't been posted already (thanks everybody).
While we're on the subject of Kenny Dixon Jr. and co., I saw him, Theo Parrish, Rick Wilhite and Marsellus Pittman around 5 years ago. Most smoked out house set I've ever witnessed. Sluggish 115-120 bpm thump mixed with soul and disco. Dixon looked stooooned, and there was no fancy mixing going on, just the ole fade up'n'down, but the vibe was great and I was loving it.
I discovered him by accident when I was going through some new records at my local store in '97. Saw "SilentIntroduction" on the wall and gave it a listen. Completely blew my mind. I had never heard anything like that before. Been checking for him since. I'm not a completist at all (that would be kind of difficult anyway), but I've always picked up a 12" here and there.
His sound has had a huge influence on me. I was digging his stuff so much that I even put out a Moodymann tribute track in 2002:
this is by far my favorite and one of the harder ones I've had to look for...it's a shitty mp3 with clicks in it I found online though, I still need to digitize mine.

YES!
I was lucky enough to find this in some dollar bin together with another raer Rick Wilhite 12" on KDJ, I drop it in pretty much every house set now. I once saw Carl Craig play it right after Moodymann finished his set, the crowd went wild!

Yeah that one is great. I don't have it and I would love to get my hands on a copy.
OK, here's a Theo Parrish related 12" that I love. One of my favorite tracks ever in any genre:
Rotating Assembly "Illumination"[/b]
Beautiful, deep live-instrumentation jam with a very soulful vocal.
thank you thank you thank you for this thread! I knew the name, but had never gotten around to actually hearing any MM tracks. I gotta go buy some records now!
Best thread ever. There used to be a crew in sydney called Deep Space who ran a weekly radio show called Dark Energy. They used to represent the 313 sound everything from ghetto tek to deep house. Their parties were pretty legendary. This was all around the late ninties. No one is really playing this sound anymore.
My modest collection of Moodymann music consists of
Carl Craig People Make The World Go Round[/b] (Moodymann remix) J.A.N.[/b](?) the Prince-interview-sampling one Technologystolemyvynil[/b] I'd Rather Be Lonely[/b] the Telephone E.P.[/b]
Most of what I've heard by him, I really like, and he seems to have stayed true to his style in that his two recent releases stand up well against his earlier classics. Wish some other producers could maintain KDJ's consistency...

I'm playing some of these records and sounds this Saturday, mixed up with deep disco, boggie, soul, and leftfield danceable weirdness etc.
BTW, I've always liked believing I was the biggest Moodymann fan around. Nice to see other people loving him too.

hook a dude up with id rather be lonely. i want that to play at work.
Andres is not Moodymann! KDJ just released stuff for him.
I forget dude's name, but he is actually a hip-hop producer. It's for some hip-hop group people here would recognize, like PUTS or something like that.
