The inimitable Róisín Murphy has joined forces with Detroit techno legend Moodymann, who has deftly formed his own interpretation of a currently unreleased track “What Not To Do”, the original of which is taken from Murphy’s forthcoming ‘Hit Parade’. A 13-track epitome of genre-melding gems, the new album is set for release on the 8th September via esteemed record label Ninja Tune.
Moodymann is a long-respected figurehead of the Detroit techno scene, of which Murphy has a passionate love for. The enigmatic producer has artfully intertwined his own vocal contributions to the track, initiating a call and response with Murphy’s hypnagogic lyrics, creating a truly special remix.
“It was great working with Róisín and her team. Her voice is amazing. Love the LP!" - Moodymann
“I’m mad about Moodymann, he’s one of my favourite artists making music now. It’s such a thrill and treat for me to have a remix by him and it’s a brilliant mix, time to get those Jazz Dance moves out!” -
Róisín Murphy
The latest remix is the third in a series of alternate productions from electronic music auteurs, previously PAYFONE and Eli Escobar lent their expertise to re-imagine “You Knew”, providing inherently different interpretations at their core, but equally primed and ready for extensive club-usage. Expect more remixes on the horizon.

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
