OVERVIEW:

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.

When She Follows (Original 18 Minute Version) Rectify Dirty Little Bonus Beats When She (Reprise)


PRIVATE LISTEN LINK: https://moodymann.bandcamp.com/album/black-mahogani-ii


OVERVIEW:

Released in limited numbers in tandem with Black Mahogani back in 2004 and never repressed. Black Mahogani II was a departure from Kenny Dixon Jr's usual house based music and featured cuts from Kenny Dixon Jr's late night jazz band sessions The centrepiece is the eighteen minute 'When She Follows', a deep jazz session skittering live drum rolls into an electric Fender Rhodes, loping acoustic bass and distant saxophone all wrapped up in an amorphous vocal that drifts ever onwards like some epic detroit techno cut replayed by Gil Scott Heron's band in 1970. Incredible music. 'Rectify' follows in a similar mode, jazz in a detroit techno framework, while the final two tracks 'Dirty Little Bonus Beats' and 'When She (Reprise)' are revisions of the main cut, the former altering the bassline, adding vocal sighs and more rhythmic drums, while the latter shifts up the tempo with a wigged out techno synth element. Stone, cold.

"The Journey" - The Latest Masterpiece from Japanese Rebel Music Icon Yasushi Ide
From the space to ancient times, and back again - The Journey is a sprawling 115-minute mind trip now finally available on vinyl. Originally released as a 2-CD epic totaling 113 minutes, this ambitious work has been meticulously reimagined for vinyl, with Yasushi Ide himself calling it "the most difficult production decision I've ever made."
Rather than opting for a 3- or 4-LP set that could preserve full length and maximum audio fidelity, Ide took on the bold challenge of condensing the album into a single LP (under 50 minutes) - without compromising the depth or narrative scope of the original. The result is a distilled yet expansive listening experience that pushes the vinyl format to its limits.
All tracks on this release are either different versions or specially edited album takes, making it a truly exclusive edition. Highlights include a unique version of "Cosmic Time" - seamlessly blending remixes by Ken Ishii and Alex Attias - and a rare, vinyl-only edit of "Place In The Sun" by Kaoru Inoue, created specifically for this release.
The lineup of contributors spans a global roster of acclaimed artists, including Ken Ishii, Shuya Okino & ROOT SOUL, Yoshinori Sunahara, Tomoyuki Tanaka (FPM), Charles Webster, Chris Coco, DJ NATURE, and Kiko Navarro - 13 collaborators in total. Together, they craft a sonic landscape that transcends the traditional remix album, resembling the soundtrack to an imaginary film.
Embark on a one-of-a-kind auditory journey - exclusively on vinyl.
