Moody - Ol Dirty Vinyl

A1 Ol' Dirty Vinyl (U Used To Know)
A2 We Don't Care
A3 No Feedback
B1 It's 2 Late 4 U And Me
B2 The Hacker

Detroit's wiliest house master presents a collection of wide ranging grooves recorded between late 90s and 2009. We get to witness the breadth and depth of KDJ's oeuvre over five tracks, ranging from the crackly disco of 'Ol' Dirty Vinyl' through to outré synth experiments and one deadly club jam in 'It's 2 Late 4 U And Me'. That title track is a cheeky killer, apparently recorded in just 3 hours in Vienna using worn-out vinyl loops to arrange a gritty soul stunner, while 'We Don't Care' features a faux jazz workout in typically greezy style. He links with long term collaborator Mick Collins on a crazy garage rockin' number 'No Feedback', and leaves the DJs salivating over that extended club jam on the flip. These limited copies come housed in gorgeous textured outer sleeve and colour printed inners = an indispensable purchase for the KDJ fiends! Killer...www.boomkat.com

“Mamma’s Hand” starts out as old-school Moodymann, with jazz samples manipulated seemingly live. It repeatedly breaks down for a smattering of vocals and even a smoke break. “…During Soundcheck” and “Anotha Black Sunday” are short enough to feel like interludes, and the latter reprises an older track. “Rectify” is made of similar pieces, and in fact is sounds like a Moodymann cliché.

“Desire,” however, is something completely new. It seems painfully personal, with slow piano and a house beat. José James breathily sings, “Some things you just gotta learn on your own.” He repeats, “She appeared in my life,” and talks of nightmares and spinning planets. It truly is a magical tune, the chant “remember” perfectly fitting its wistful jazz elements. This needs to be played late at night. A lot...www.gridface.com
