While he may be one of the more enigmatic personalities in house music, keeping shy from interviews, the press and even his fans (sometimes he performs behind a curtain of white sheets) it’s been announced that Moodymann will perform at Sugar on Thu Mar 7.
Kenny Dixon Jr aka Moodymann‘s quirks don’t end there. He is an outspoken critic on the present dance music scene, shaming the notable lack of African American personalities, and is a strong advocate to keep vinyls relevant in house and electronic music. In the past he’s been known to hold up a record and inform the crowd that his women prefer 12″.
His political agenda aside, Moodymann is also known for his infusion of bluesy and soulful sounds within his sets that has become his signature sound over his twenty year career. Experience a taste of what you might expect below with I’d Rather Be Lonely. If you are lucky – and if you can see him – Moodymann also is known to stop records as they are playing to talk to the crowd. Adelaide may just get lucky.
To experience Moodymann’s intimate set catch him at Sugar on Thu Mar 7.
