Across 75 minutes and 30 tracks, Moodymann does not disappoint: despite being a notorious vinyl fetishist, Dixon’s aim is to present music
of quality, not to one-up fellow collectors. Rather than serving up
ridiculously rare or hard-to-find records, he instead focuses on creating a
libidinous, blues-drenched mood that takes in heart-breaking soul,
gorgeous hip-hop and love-fuelled house. In addition to cuts from his own
creative circle, the mix features 11 exclusive Moodymann edits. Like
everything Kenny Dixon Jr. touches, DJ-Kicks showcases the taste, skill,
and soul of a dance music original.
