Kenny Dixon, Jr.'s outspoken views on the state of black techno and his aversion to publicity put him in a league occupied by few Detroit producers other than Underground Resistance supremo "Mad" Mike Banks, though his tech-house productions as Moodymann are soulful in a league few could expect.

Dixon began producing early in the '90s, and inaugurated his own KDJ Records in 1994 with the Moody Trax EP. Following singles like "The Day We Lost the Soul" and "I Can't Kick This Feelin When It Hits" proved one of the best fusers of short, soulful disco samples to the harder minimalist Detroit techno, and gained Kenny a 'legendry' status across Europe.

Further singles for After Midnight, Music Is..., and Carl Craig's Planet E Records (including the brilliant "Dem Young Sconies EP") solidified Dixon's place in Detroit techno, though his stance on promotion remained firm.

Much of his KDJ output appeared on 1997's "A Silent Introduction", while the following year's "Mahogany Brown" brought much new material. "Forevernevermore", released in 2000, collected more of his KDJ material and added several new tracks as well. "Black Mahogani" released in 2004 has been described by many as THE Mooodyman album and includes versions of undeniable classics such as "Shades Of Jae" and 'I'm Doing Fine".

A companion album released in tandem entitled "Black Mahogani 2" introduced Kenny's Pitch Black City sound of sublime jazz jams.

Kenny is undoubtably one of the last true innovators in dance music.

\"I don’t make music for the masses to dance to, i make music for the small majority that listens.\"
