Someone who needs no introduction is Moodymann (Kenny Dixon Jr), who plays Max's La Cheetah Club tonight in Glasgow (Friday 7th Match). An outspoken voice in the normally non-confrontational world of electronic dance music, Moodymann 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.

Following years of 12" only releases, he compiled his best work on "Silentintroduction", one of the most ...

Motor City Electronics is back tonight (Friday 22nd Feb) They did originally plan for this to be a four part series but there's just so much they didn't cover over the four nights at the tail end of last year. For their first MCE night of 2013 they have none other than the turntable wizard that is Terrence Parker. As many of you will know Terrence was supposed to headline their Hogmanay party.

For their first night in 2013 they're moving their attention to another city known for it's pioneering contribution to club music. We are of course talking about the windy city of Chicago!   They'll be running their "La Cheetah Club Presents... The House Sound Of Chicago" nights sporadically throughout 2013 and to kick things off they have a true legend in our midst! Farley Keith Williams, better known to you and I as Farley Jackmaster Funk will be in town for a UK exclusive performance. Farley has stayed true to his roots over the years so expect to hear the true house sound of Chicago from the man who (some might argue) brought House to these shor...
