Event: Moodymann is coming to Manchester @ Roadhouse!


The Roadhouse is celebrating the 2nd year of existence for popular night 'Cut Loose' in dog dayum style! Moodymann returns to Manchester on Friday 17th September in what is destined to be nothing short of cool as f**k. Tickets are £12.50 and can be bought on the website links.


A little excerpt from the Cut Loose website:

"Rollerball enigma and silhouetted man-on-the-mic Kenny Dixon Jr. aka Moodymann is one of the most enigmatic and charismatic figures that house music ever bred. Despite his refusal to give interviews and play the press-and-promo game, Kenny’s voice has been clearly amongst the loudest, when it comes to preserving the rich heritage of Afro-American music, while fighting the music industry powers that be. Blessed with an immaculate way of sampling, he takes stems from blues and soul, and respectfully takes them onto the next level – just check his Tribute (To The Soul We Lost) ode to Marvin Gaye for proof. From his dark and dusty deep house tunes on Peacefrog, Planet E and his own KDJ label, to his more recent outings on the R&B-drenched Mahogani Music imprint as well as his 2009 sure-fire anthem Freaky MF, Moodymann’s fingerprint has stayed unmistakable. Even a so-called techno tune like Dem Young Sconies sounds like nothing and nobody else on this planet. You can’t kick this feeling when it hits!"

Be there Manchester residents. If you are going - please write in and let us know how it goes to newsicmoos@yahoo.co.uk.

Event: Moodymann coming to Manchester!

Listen up party people... the one and only soulful house master is coming to town. Mark the date in your raving diary forward slash chillout; September 17th he descends upon The Roadhouse for Cutloose. Check it out!

Of course, such wild excitement and persuasive agenda must show some relevant backing. His music evokes an emotive spectrum, with slick instrumentation binding together the breaks, like an edible, adhesive honey. Examples follow.

Enjoy. I know you will.

This is Moodymann's music lecture as part of The Red Bull Music Academy's London take over 2010. There are expletives in the following video, so for all of you that don't want to hear it: be warned.



And this below is an example of one of his most popular tunes. It transcends the realm of simplistic house music by forming a jazz-enthused, instrumental dream with a vocal that floats soulfully with the tunes ambience.
