A tribute to 30 years of KDJ Records
Founded in 1994, KDJ Records is a sonic testament to Kenny's enigmatic musical vision, collaborative spirit and deep-rooted love for Detroit. Blending soulful electronic sounds with Motor City swagger for 50-plus releases, KDJ's steady stream of groundbreaking Moodymann albums, 12" records and limited-edition pressings are a surefire bet to fly off the shelves onto sound systems across Detroit and the world. His creative community – including legends like the late great Amp Fiddler, Juan Atkins, 'Mad' Mike Banks and label mates Andrés, Rick Wilhite and Theo Parrish – provides much of the inspiration behind the releases of KDJ and sister label Mahogani Music.
Sound swagger: exclusive content from the vaults of KDJ Records
KDJ Records Limited Edition comes loaded with ten banks of exclusive samples and patterns, including six new tracks and four modern KDJ classics. Whether you're producing, remixing or performing live, tap into these rare musical pockets to hitch a ride on Moodymann's musical express.
