Kenny Dixon Jr also known as Moodymann is a techno/house musician based in Detroit, Michigan. He creates a thoroughly hybrid form of techno/house dance music via his innovative use of reworked riffs, samples and grooves taken from that city's historically influential jazz, soul, funk, and disco scene. He offers a friendly wink backwards at the innovative early 1990s rave scene musicians through his extensive use of old movie sound track samples, mainly culled from the old blaxploitation and b-movie genres. He also shares very political views on the current state of techno, decrying the lack of black techno and the white domination of the genre.After his first several releases on Planet E Records Kenny became quite popular in France and from there his popularity grew. Albums released Silent Introduction (Original Release Date: November 18, 1997 Label: Planet E) Mahogany Brown (Original Release Date: April 20, 1998 Label: Peacefrog Records) Forevernevermore (Original Release
