The Birth of a Legend – Detroit Soul on Wax
Label: Planet E Communications
Step into the smoky, soulful world of Detroit’s deep house pioneer, Moodymann, with his groundbreaking debut album, Silentintroduction. Released on Carl Craig’s iconic Planet E label, this double vinyl LP is a raw, genre-blurring masterpiece that fuses deep house, jazz, funk, hip
hop, and spoken word into a sound that is unmistakably Moodymann.
The Sound – Gritty yet refined, Silentintroduction blends MPC-sampled jazz loops, dusty soul grooves, chopped-up vocals, and politically tinged dialogue. It’s not just dance music—it’s a cultural commentary set to a beat.
The Format – Pressed on double 12″ heavyweight vinyl, this release delivers warm, analog textures the way Moodymann’s productions were meant to be heard—raw, real, and resonant.
Detroit at Its Core – This album is a sonic tour through the Motor City’s underground. From smoky after-hours lounges to warehouse sessions, Silentintroduction captures the sound of a city and the soul of a movement.
Why It Matters – This is where it all began. Silentintroduction is not just an album—it’s a manifesto of identity, resistance, and groove. It set the tone for a career defined by authenticity and innovation.
Essential For:
– Collectors of classic Detroit house & techno
– Fans of Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Carl Craig
– DJs looking for deep, genre-defying selections
– Anyone who values music with depth, character, and soul
This isn’t background music. It’s Moodymann. It’s Detroit. It’s a Silentintroduction you’ll never forget.
