Restful

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Motown, the iconic record label launched in 1959 in Detroit, Michigan by Berry Gordy Jr., Carhartt WIP will release a thirteen-piece capsule collection in the coming weeks. The collaboration honors a label that reshaped the sound of American pop music, diversifying its airwaves in the process. 

To mark the collection launch, we reached out to Detroit native Kenny Dixon Jr. aka Moodymann and asked him to prepare a strictly Motown music Carhartt WIP Radio show, that displays his personal love for the label.
 
As Moodymann is not man for hasty reactions, he delivered a detailed mix featuring rare b-sides, interviews and live recordings by Motown artists like Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Steve Wonder, Kem and Dazz Band. Asked about his very own feelings towards his mix, Kenny Dixon Jr. simply says: “No matter where I‘m standing it’s good to hear home sometimes. These songs are woven into the soundtrack of my own personal movie.”  There is nothing more to add, only: enjoy the ride!

Carhartt WIP Radio November 2019: Moodymann plays Motown Radio Show

Pour ce 5ème volet, on avait à cœur d'inviter Telephones, artiste et producteur norvégien. Il nous gratifie d'un magnifique podcast d'une douceur et d'une pureté infinies ! Voici comment Henning a enregistré ce podcast :

"It was recorded in two parts, in my studio in Berlin. Each part on a Sunday. It contains two tracks that's not avalaible on vinyl, so they've been edited in. Except that it's all wax, mostly LP album tracks. I started a few weeks ago, whenever I had some spare time, to gather and go through records and albums I like, but don't play out.. things I like to listen to but rarely have the chance to. After building up a nice selection, I tried things out in different orders untill I found a rough plan I was happy with.

The idea was to conjure up a feeling of gently waking up, washed up and spaced-out on a shore somewhere, then gently taking you through the morning, or afternoon... I like very much how the first track sounds like some ambient-take on Frankie Knuckles "The Whistle Song", which kinda makes a nice connection to "the night before the day after". Then it's all about eccentric slobbing around at home in your robe, enjoying some calm, relaxing, cozy, mysterious, gently groovy, melancholic chill vibes. 

I really like how moods and atmospheres can travel across genres, so this is a pretty eclectic mix, with some obscure and some totally un-obscure stuff, from Ambient, Jazz, Krautrock, New Age and Pop, to Soul, Funk, Prog Rock, Dub and so on. Assembled with the intention of providing musical hydration to guide you gently through your Sunday, and also allow space for pondering what actually happened in the weekend."
