Moodymann, a producer of obstinately beautiful house music, exemplifies this idea, his history a mesh of half-truths, rumours and silence that seems to refuse to resolve itself.

From reworkings of funk and soul sounds to promoters putting on parties in warehouses looking to reignite something of the past, retrospection is deeply engrained within dance-music culture. When reminiscing on those legendary NYC loft parties and acid house raves in ‘89, to the early days at DC-10, it is often difficult to distinguish the rose-tinted memories from reality.

Ennio Morricone: ‘I don’t know the names of any pop musicians’
