DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Downbeat Electronica/ Deep House & Tech Grooves On This Rare LP Release from The Moodymann.
Silence In The Secret Garden is an intensely personal and spiritual journey into the heart & soul of black music. From the reckless dark minimalism of the title track Silence In The Secret Garden to the irresistible funk of Yesterday’s Party… this classic album has continued to surprise and inspire in the 14 years since it’s initial release.
Bringing vibes for days, if not decades, Peacefrog with a first ever vinyl reissue of Moodymann’s Silence In The Secret Garden [2003] to slake the thirst of DJs and dancers the world over. Slotting between Forevernevermore [2000] and Black Mahogani [2004] in the scheme of things, KDJ’s 4th album is a peerless distillation of Detroit house DNA and party flavours, working a masterful balance of simmering house party funk and technoid depth that could really only come from one man and the city he reps.
Party-building aces such as People share space with rolling deep techno works such as On My Way Home, and rugged club abstractions like Silence in The Secret Garden hold ground beside sultry Afro-Latin numbers like Yesterdays Party Watta Bout It, demonstrating it’s all part of the same thing in a way that KDJ has exemplified for over 20 years.
Cop on sight!

Kenny Dixon Jr.,[6] better known by his stage name Moodymann, is an American musician based in Detroit, Michigan.[7] He is the owner of the record labels Mahogani Music and KDJ Records.[8] He is a member of 3 Chairs.[9]
In 1997, Moodymann released his debut album, Silentintroduction, on Planet E Communications.[10] It compiled the previously released tracks from his own KDJ Records.[11] He released Mahogany Brown in 1998,[12] Forevernevermore in 2000,[13] and Silence in the Secret Garden in 2003.[14]
In 2012, he released Picture This as a free download.[15] It was followed by ABCD in 2013.[16] His self-titled album, Moodymann, was released in 2014.[17] He released Sinner in 2019,[18] and Taken Away in 2020.[19] In December 2020, Moodymann appeared as himself in the video game Grand Theft Auto Online, serving as one of the resident DJs at the newly-opened nightclub called the Music Locker.[20]
Moodymann is considered to have "developed hybrid modes of recording and performance incorporating analog and digital media—the playing of 'real' instruments with 'pushing buttons live'."[21] Philip Sherburne of Pitchfork wrote: "His sample-heavy productions have drawn on artists like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Chic, not to mention gospel music, and his beats have always remained rooted in disco's bump and swirl."[22]
In January 2019, Moodymann released a video on Instagram, which he later removed, showing the Highland Park police holding him at gunpoint in his parked car, on his property.[23] The Highland Park police department released a statement saying that during the incident, Moodymann did not show proof of ownership of the property or even an ID, which led to the arrest.[24] Moodymann was later released after an investigation showing that he was indeed the owner of the property.[24] Read more on Last.fm.
