The first time I heard Moodyman was when Boo Williams dropped the "Small Church In Detroit" track at the climax of a set at a party in Chicago. The place went OFF. Not to say that you need to rent a high school gym and a 15000 watt PA to listen to it, but until you listen to it LOUD in the context of a party, you may not get it. Now Playing: "African Tribal Music and Dance" -- this is THE old school techno.
