jon dixon: detroit get down
Francisco Espregueira
Jon Dixon keeps his strong streak of mesmerizing releases, affirming his status as one of the most respected and talented names in the house music realm. Detroit Get Down is, as per usual in Dixon’s discography, a one-of-a-kind EP, featuring a cast of strong characters of afro-influenced jazz-electronic American music. The unique vocals of Detroit's own Moodymann and Britt Frappier, the smooth voice of Sarah Elizabeth Charles, Kasan Belgrave, son of the late great Marcus Belgrave, keyboard genius Ian Fink, Detroit hip hop guru Darrius Quince, and minor INVENTION. All these names are packed into five groovy tracks that touch us deep.
Following a successful Visions Recordings incursion, with The New Tomorrow EP, Jon Dixon returns to his imprint 4EVR 4WRD, delivering his very own brand of conscious deepness. He digs deep, building sounds that balance roughness and smoothness like very few. There’s a never ending potion of inspiration in Detroit and Jon Dixon is one of its masters, as every rhythm, word, note, and chord was created as they only know how in the D! Detroit Get Down will be a classic record. Available on vinyl.
“With all that has happened in 2020 and 2021, music continues to allow me to focus on only that as I create it. It helped me get through this pandemic.”
