When we released the Innovator EP In 1991 we came up with a subtitle ‘Soundtrack For The Tenth Planet’ because it sounded like it had come from another world. I call Derrick the Detroit techno philosopher, and to me his philosophy was to create dance music which was frenetic but also had an emotional agenda. He created cerebral dreamscapes combined with urgent complex dance rhythms. His agenda is dance and dream.

The hootin’ hollerin’ gospel house of “Black Sunday” and “On The Run” smoky after hours vibes are other standouts, but “MahoganyBrown” is the one I always go back to - an absolute masterclass in jazz house that demonstrates Moody’s deft sampling ear and his uncanny ability to do a whole lot with very little.
