Duration: 2 h

We're introducing MGUN (@mgun) to the Moods family this month, a Detroit-based DJ and poroducer with releases from Don't Be Afraid Recordings. Curated by Crystal Gause, MGUN's 2.5+ hour mix was recorded live—restarts, scratches, and all—at Moods @ UFO on December 30th with alums Psy-chick, Blackmoonchild, and Fabiola. For any music credits, comment and tag us or MGUN to learn more.

Moods is community curated and community supported. By helping us out, you're directly supporting artist commissions, curator fees, merchandise, and materials for parties. Give us a buck, four, or more a month here: danielsharp.cargo.site/Moods

Where did you grow up? Was it a single place or many places? How did this influence the songs you listened to?

I was born and raised in Detroit. I've resided most of my life in Southwest Detroit and that definitely has an impact on what I listen to.  Music has been a topic of conversation since grade school.


Can you pick one song in the mix and explain where you first listened to it?

Project Pat - Now You Know The Business
I first heard this song on a bootleg cassette I bought from the dollar store. Bought that tape 3 times because my teacher confiscated it when I listened to it in class.


Who “introduced” you to these songs? Was it a person, a radio station, a CD?

I used to sit in front of my boombox and just listen to WJLB, WDRQ and The Planet all day. My mom and dad had records, CDs, and cassettes of all kinds of stuff like Motown, jazz, freestyle and rock. Even my sister would give me tapes when I was younger.


Where and when did you first hear techno? Who did it sound like it was for?

My first impressions on techno music was on mix shows that aired on WJLB with DJs like Gary Chandler, DJ Polo, DJ Zap just to name a few. I thought to myself, “wow this music has a lot of energy and bass to it. I could imagine people in a club with lots of lights and big speakers.” 


You’ve got the microphone. What do you want to say?

My words to the techno community: Don't make this shit cookie cutter music!!!! keep pusing further than what it is now and remember it's to bring people together and sonically take you into the future.

We've paired MGUN's mix with a digital billboard work by Basim Magdy, an Egypt-born, Basel-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice often includes (semi) satirical text over saturated colors, Super-8 Film, and psycho-apocalyptic landscapes.
