Yeah, you can hear it in the kicks of Majestic Line.
I must confess, i was never very much into Moodyman. Bit this EP is
brilliant.

Seems KDJ have got some influence from the UK (grime and dubstep). He
was talking about the stuff on Gilles Peterson.

I'm loving the percussion on these tracks. The snaps on Keeping You
Satisfied and the grime flavour, or kinda krunky like one said, on
Majestic
Line. The clavinet on Aggregate Goals. And i don't dig his jazzy
side too
much either. With a few exceptions, i usually don't like when
things try to
be literally jazzy, because i think jazz is already filtered into
house and
techno. I like things being jazzy in syntax, not in timbre. One of
the most
stupid labels i've ever seen around is funky house. House is born
funky.

Forgive me as i haven't been following Moodymann lately, I
thought he
was either getting to housey or formulaic for my tastes, but has
he been on
some sort of new tip? or is the clip too short and the tracks develop
differently?
Here the blurb says "Kenny Dixon Jr keeps on developing his
signature
sound in unexpected new directions and this single represents another
exciting step forward!" From what i hear it seems he has been making
stripped down dirty techno (God forbid i say the word "minimal")
and the
last track sounds almost krunk.
His last couple of things have kind of been going in this
direction, kind
of muddy live funk (the Mick Collins related things) - this
particular 12 is
like a cross between that live funk vibe and the electronic side I
prefer. I
find that more interesting than his jazzy side which I don't
really dig that
much (and it's easy to see why someone would stop watching his
output if the
jazzy stuff doesn't hit you).
