Kyle Hall - Sun Goddess EP

Those people who view this blog and myself seem to agree that Kyle Hall's fantastic, so here's another release. It's a bit more recent than the Worx of Art EP 1 I posted earlier but still off of his Wild Oats label. Again, this album can be bought through his myspace.

Kenny Dixon Jr. - Soul Sounds

More often known by his alias Moodyman, Kenny Dixon Jr. has been a long contributor to the Detroit electronic scene for nearly the past twenty years with an impressive yield of releases and contributions. This album, Soul Sounds, was released by Soul City, which can attribute its brief existence to the legendary Mike Banks. As if it couldn't be inferred, this album very much so carries a soul influence. Perhaps I'm simply not used to music quite like this, but its clean production value and soothing rhythms seem to hit just the right spot while my body is being crushed by an intense magnitude of schoolwork. His lack of interviews (common for techno artists) makes it remarkably difficult to learn much about him even with all the work he's produced. In fact, one might not know Mahogani is Moodyman's label without a little searching.

Kyle Hall - Worx of Art EP 1

Kyle Hall's quite young in the scene which I mean literally, being that he was born on July 17, 1991, yet he's already become quite a high profile artist. It was through Omar-S, off of his label FXHE where his first album was released. This "Worx of Art EP 1" was the first to be put out through Kyle's own outlet, Wild Oats. In 2010, the major weekly publication "Real Detroit" awarded him the title of "Best Electronic Artist" of the year. With an excellent fusion of deep house and jazz, Kyle Hall is doing quite nicely in the electronic music sphere.

Information to obtain a physical copy of this record and his other releases can be found on Kyle's myspace.
