Kenny Dixon Jr aka Moodymann - Sunshine

An outspoken voice in the normally non-confrontational world of electronic dance music, Moodymann (given name: Kenneth Dixon Jr.) is committed to keeping a distinctly black imprint on techno and house. While he may frustrate people with his refusal to be interviewed and insistence on reminding people of the genre's origins, the soulfulness of his output is unquestioned. Utilizing classic soul and jazz samples, low-slung bass lines and an approach to drum programming that is diametrically opposed to the tendency to push the tempo faster and faster, he has achieved classic status thanks to gems like "Sunday Morning", "Shades of Jae", and his remix of Innerzone Orchestra's "People Make the World Go Round". Following years of 12" only releases, he compiled his best work on "Silentintroduction", one of the most celebrated albums of the late 90s.

@misterfantastick - Thanks for the info on this. I just like the way that the Moodyman has joined everything together so effortlessly when really it was difficult making this come together. This is so nice..

i believe that may be the sing along from the females in the audience from Frankie Beverly & Maze Live (the song "Joy & Pain")...at least that is what it sounds like.
