Picture This

Picture This was released as a free download in 2012 and features 8 full-length tunes. It’s confident and bold, showcasing Moodymann’s versatility, the opening triptych of sleek Detroit techno 9 Nites 2 Nowhere, gnawing electro-P-Funker Basement Party, and the new wave swagger of Saturday At The Rock impressive enough in itself. He then moves into that familiar jazz-sprinkled KDJ disco-sleaze groove with U Ranaway and his drowsy overdriven Rhodes/skippy beats combo with Pray 4 Love. Hold It Down is warm, pastoral soul and Got 2 Make It is dreamy yet driving deep house that also comes in a tightened-up dub version too. Moments of musical beauty meld with edgy juxtapositions and irresistible rolling beats in one of his most direct and dancefloor-ready albums.
