In the latest episode of our monthly podcast series RELEVANT PARTIES, host Chal Ravens delves into Detroit’s rich musical history, exploring the world of @mahoganimusic, the label founded by iconic DJ and producer Kenny Dixon Jr., better known as @moodymann313.

Since 2002, the imprint has drawn on the musical soul of Motor City. Its output incorporates a slew of genres – house, hip-hop, jazz, funk, soul – with a catalogue that features music from the likes of @ampfiddler, Celebrity BBQ Sauce Band, @dezandres, @jdilla, Rick Wilhite, and of course Moodymann. Over time, the label has become both a cornerstone of the city’s music scene, and symbolic of Detroit’s seminal contribution to global dance music culture.

In the 12th RELEVANT PARTIES episode, UK music journalist Chal Ravens speaks to Traci Washington and Florence J. Leigh (@floreal1), the women who keep Mahogani Music running from their respective bases in Detroit and Vienna, Austria. They reflect on their unusual roles as caretakers and collaborators on this resolutely underground label and on the unique artistry of the label’s founder. The episode also features insights from label staples such as Amp Fiddler, Dez Andres, and Norma Jean Bell.

This episode marks the end of RELEVANT PARTIES Vol. 2. The podcast will return in Fall/Winter 2021 with a new season and format, which explores cities that have impacted our musical landscape and the subcultures that underpin them. Stay tuned.

We’re happy to present this exclusive guest mix coming from Henry Wu, part of the new wave of London’s electronic producers. I discovered him only a few weeks ago through his release on a mysterious label called 22a Music which pressed only 100 copies of both of their first releases.

We’re huge fans of the organic and slightly abstract approach to electronic music which would be the best way to describe Henry Wu’s productions. For fans of Theo Parrish, Romare, Peven Everett and Mo Kolours (who is actually his label mate’s brother). We also featured Henry Wu’s amazing “Misled” track on our last monthly MIMS Radio Show.

Henry Wu, Jeen Bassa, Al Dobson Jr and Tenderlonious are the 4 featured artists on the two 22a releases so it’s great to see they are represented well on this mix with a few tracks each.

Solid Steel in association with Serato (26th June)In Hour 2 Henry Wu steps up with a sublime mix of treats, including Max Graef, Andy Bey, Fela Kuti and a first on Solid Steel, Ross Kemp!! He had this to say about his mix;
" I kept this one a bit peppery, some forthcoming bits from Wu15 on Eglo, a Tenderlonious classic, the yoga master Twit One and of course some excerpts from Ross Kemp on gangs when he visited Peckham. I went for a bit of a vocal narrative so you'll hear little snippets of conversation pop in and out, there's some ancient Chinese musical reworks, Earl Jeffers and ended with some massive inspirations in Larry Heard and Kaidi Tatham. Bless! x"
