Moodymann worked at several Detroit record stores in the mid-nineties including a store owned by producer Blake Baxter. During the mid-nineties Kenny was also the resident DJ at the Detroit based Outcast Motorcycle Club. At that time he was known as 'House'. After his first several releases on Planet E Records Kenny became quite popular in France and from there his popularity grew. Moodymann sound is a hybrid form of techno/house dance music arrived at via innovative use of reworked riffs, samples and grooves. While he may frustrate people with his refusal to be interviewed and insistence on reminding people of the genre's origins, the soulfulness of his output is unquestioned. Utilizing classic soul and jazz samples, low-slung bass lines and an approach to drum programming that is diametrically opposed to the tendency to push the tempo faster and faster, he has achieved classic status thanks to gems like 'Sunday Morning', 'Shades of Jae', and his remix of Innerzone Orchestra's 'People Make the World Go Round'. Following years of 12' only releases, he compiled his best work on 'Silentintroduction', one of the most celebrated albums of the late 90s.

Moodymann

A Detroit native, Rick learned at an early age that a career in music takes more than playing one’s favorite records. Multi-faceted crowd control, sound engineering and creative party promotion are what make him more than a Detroit DJ. With over two decades experience in playing clubs and parties 24-7, 365 makes the Godson one of Detroit’s best and most versatile DJ’s around. His venture to college in the south to Southern University allowed his skills to take the region to another level of Music. His DJ styles of House, Techno, Rap and R&B helped change the black college music scene across America. Beginning in high school, Wilhite also battled in contests against other well-respected DJ’s. He still impresses audiences today, and retains his undefeated status in the DJ community. A 30+year professional within the music industry, Wilhite adds Music Historian, Salesperson, and Promoter to his list of accomplishments. During the 80’s Wilhite worked for Buy Rite Music, which was one of the premiere record stores in the Midwest. Buy-Rite specialized in servicing the DJ as opposed to having the DJ serving himself. During the late 80's early 90’s, he soon became one of the most sought-after music professionals in the industry. Equipped with a keen ear for quality music, he embarked on a path of self-proprietorship. He opened The House of Music in downtown Detroit. As well the record store, Vibes New and Rare Music. Throughout his music career, Wilhite has performed for numerous international and stateside venues. He has gone by a host of names: DOC, Tech-12, Working Mixx, and most recently The Godson. Interestingly enough, each alias describes and symbolizes his relationship to his craft. He has established successful working relationships with city officials, journalists, and media personalities; and has befriended many music artists. Influenced by Detroit’s legendary pool of musicians, he entered production studios at the early age of eleven. He began remixing records in 1986 with the group NASA. Additionally, Wilhite worked alongside many electronic music pioneers, such as Juan Atkins and Derrick May. In recent years, Wilhite has established a bond with fellow musicians Marcellus Pittman, Kenny Dixon Jr. and Theo Parrish’ now known as the 3 Chairs.

Rick Wilhite

Theo Parrish is a revered force in the electronic music scene. He is a legendary music producer, a versatile DJ and the owner of the heavy-hitting Sound Signature record label. Growing up in Chicago, Theo received early influences from jazz and soul artists by the likes of Miles Davis, George Gershwin, Stevie Wonder and Nina Simon. At the young age of 13, Theo discovered the Chicago House music scene and began DJing.
 
He attended art school at the Chicago Academy of the Arts and the Kansas City Art Institute. In 1994, Theo received his degree and moved to Detroit where he became an active DJ in the already established Detroit electronic music scene. In 1995, Theo gained exposure in the scene when he secured his single "Lake Shore Drive" on the B-side of a Moodyman record. Shortly after, he released his first solo project in 1996 called "Baby Steps EP". In 1997, Theo created the now well-known label, Sound Signature, and released multiple projects while also working under the alias 3 Chairs with Rick Wilhite and Dixon. Heavily inspired by Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy, Theo's releases on Sound Signature are soulful and focused on rhythm.

In the following year, Peacefrog records released Theo's first full-length LP, "First Floor". Following a slew of EPs, collaborations and compilations, Parrish released his second full-length album, Parallel Dimensions, in 2000. This album was met with critical acclaim and sold out quickly. Between 2001 to 2002, Theo was producing at a prolific rate. During this period, he released more than 10 singles and EPs including: "I Can Take It", "Locations of Lost Color", "Solitary Fight" and his white-label Ugly Edits series. Beyond his solo project, Theo was also part of the Rotating Assembly, a musical group which showcased live musicians and singers. The group released their first full-length "Natural Aspirations" in 2004. 

Theo has kept up with a steady stream of singles, EPs and projects since the early 00's including his popular collaboration with Andrew Ashong, "Flowers". Since 2006 Theo has released four full-length albums including: Sound Sculptures Vol. 1 in 2007, Sketches in 2010, American Intelligence in 2014 and his newest album Wuddaji in 2020.
