{"product_id":"black-mahogani-ii","title":"Black Mahogani II","description":"\u003cp\u003eReleased in limited numbers in tandem with \u003cem\u003eBlack Mahogani\u003c\/em\u003e back in 2004 and never repressed, \u003cstrong\u003eKenny Dixon Jr's\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eBlack Mahogani II\u003c\/em\u003e was a departure from his usual house-based music. The album featured cuts from \u003cstrong\u003eKenny Dixon Jr's\u003c\/strong\u003e late-night jazz band sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe centrepiece of the album is the eighteen-minute track \"\u003cem\u003eWhen She Follows\u003c\/em\u003e,\" a deep jazz session that combines skittering live drum rolls, an electric Fender Rhodes, loping acoustic bass, and distant saxophone, all wrapped up in an amorphous vocal that drifts ever onwards like some epic Detroit techno cut replayed by Gil Scott Heron's band in 1970. The music is truly incredible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eRectify\u003c\/em\u003e\" follows in a similar mode, blending jazz within a Detroit techno framework. The final two tracks, \"\u003cem\u003eDirty Little Bonus Beats\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003eWhen She (Reprise)\u003c\/em\u003e,\" are revisions of the main cut. The former alters the bassline, adds vocal sighs, and includes more rhythmic drums, while the latter shifts up the tempo with a wigged-out techno synth element. The tracks are stone cold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peacefrog","offers":[{"title":"LP - Smokey","offer_id":52718387528011,"sku":"R0882-3363","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Unknown-2_1ed640e2-cdc4-420d-ad86-7284ecdbc23e.jpg?v=1752248372","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/black-mahogani-ii","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
