Moodymann - Black Mahogani (Smokey Vinyl)

Peacefrog - PFGXX50LP

Smokey Vinyl

It's been over 20 years since Kenny Dixon Jr., better known as Moodymann, released Black Mahogani - an album rich in atmosphere and emotion, offering a quintessential journey through deep house, soul, and jazz.

Timeless yet modern, it's an immersive and emotionally resonant experience that reflects the singular character of Detroit's deep musical heritage. Originally released in 2004, Black Mahogani is arguably one of Moodymann's most revered and sought-after works.

It completes the puzzle laid out by his rare and elusive KDJ 12" releases from the mid to late '90s. With the help of Detroit legends like the late Amp Fiddler, Roberta Sweed, and Norma Jean Bell, Dixon infused his analog soundscapes and samples with a new organic warmth-expanding the deep house genre while simultaneously paying homage to 1970s soul and cinematic soundtracks.

Dixon's masterful control of tension-knowing exactly when to hold back and when to let go-makes Black Mahogani an enduring masterpiece. It's not just a landmark in electronic music, but a definitive statement in 21st-century Black American music.
