Moodymann - Black Mahogani [3 LP Smoked Gray]

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 is 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. He completes the puzzle created 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 paying homage to 1970s soul and cinematic soundtracks.

Dixon's masterful command of tension – knowing exactly when to hold and when to let go – makes Black Mahogani an enduring masterpiece. It is not only a benchmark in electronic music, but a definitive statement in 21st century African American music.
