Kenny Dixon aka. Moodymann - Mahogany Brown

Kenny Dixon Jr. is this a$$hole from Detroit who likes roller skating and makes incredibly house tracks. His smooth, dark, "dubby" style differentiates him from most house from Detroit which sounds more mechanical (Theo Parrish) and the more aggressive Chicago style of house music characterized by Derrick Carter. There are only a couple of artists that have a similar style, older Nick Holder which is characterized by more Latin rhythms and percussion (Singing) and Chez Damier who is longer producing tracks.

Kenny Dixon's dj sets are also pretty ridiculous. When he's not wearing a ski mask or other garment to hide his identity, he has a tendency to stop records while they are playing and talk to the crowd.

Kenny Dixon Jr/Moodymann's tracks are incredibly hard to mix into any set because of how unique the sound is. They just don't fit into an "genres" nicely. That being said, they are probably some of the best tracks ever made.
