"we didn't look at the dj" waiting for that to come back around.

[@mariuszgk.2084]

Music first ,dj is important but ...some of the dj be com a celebrity cos the change records well ....nice ...fuck that ,music is the no 1

[@floordoctor]

Yeah....we've been talking about this really since 2005-ish...maybe earlier. Playing in the 80's and 90's all about the music and the system. Half the time nobody knew who was playing or what some DJ's looked like or any of that shit. Everyone went to same parties to have fun and dance with each other. No one was standing around looking at the DJ. Shit, no one was even facing that general direction much of the time. It's ridiculous what it's become. This hyper-sensationalized festival driven culture has negatively impacted everything....including the underground. Hopefully, post covid, we'll start to see more underground, grittier things going on...with less concern of the "DJ" and be grateful to back out dancing with their friends and sharing a common thread with strangers. One good thing about covid, is it bankrupted a lot of these cheesy rubbish festivals. Might actually be the fest thing that happened.

@@thepostalteenager2206 I thought I saw an interview with him where he says he is sort of entertained by people being annoyed by his character because he gets to piss people off forever lol

[@JohyeahM]

This felt like an interview with Kenny Dixon Jr. We usually get an interview with "Moodymann". It was cool.

[@CB12455]

Because they went to him instead of the other way around. Plus, no stupid questions about his gear.

[@miketurd6497]

I don’t think he’ll be going back to Detroit, the contracts in LS pay too much

20 years ago, Kenny was impossible to get into interviews. The most elusive dude in the scene. All them magazines and shit, told em all to fuck off. Wonder what made him come out and play with us in the end. I fucking freaked when he showed up for the Red Bull lecture..

Been gettin down to KDJ since the early 2000s when I was getting into all the areas of House, Disco, Techno, and Funk. I also am a gamer of course, so when I was they were adding Moody to GTA, I got so excited because it was going to introduce Kenny to all the youngsters and peeps who didn’t know him yet, so it makes me happy as hell to see y’all posting how you discovered him thru the game. So amazing. Music is love ❤

So...Giles obviously had a lot to do with why this interview was so good. Came to respect. I mean you got Mike Banks, arguably the most important ambassador of the spirit of Detroit - and our music. Finally got a lighter, more honest, look at Kenny and his life. No bullshit, none of that. Anyone who's spent real time in Detroit would begin to understand what it's actually like.....the soul of the place. People are blue collar, down to earth, gritty, resourceful, tough.....but kind, sincere, relatable, and just lovely. Everyone who's into dance & soul music.....the history.....and Detroit's importance, should go visit for several days. Great interview. Thanks

Paris called him to DJ and he thought it was a joke. Apperall company called to make hats with him and he thought it was a joke. I'm seeing a pattern here. Kenny doesn't seem to have a big ego and downplays his own importance in the scene. This video made me like him even more and I already really liked him. I'm kind of out of the scene and I don't spin outside my house much anymore but on the rare occasion that I play a party I still have _Shades of Jae_ in the rotation.
