Andrés

Not nearly as talked about and analyzed as Moodymann, his key supporter, percussionist/producer Andrés nonetheless built an extremely respectable catalog of downtempo house productions throughout the late '90s and early 2000s. Before issuing a self-titled full-length for Mahogani in 2003, he scattered a number of 12" releases for KDJ and Moods & Grooves. Andrés is also known as DJ Dez, and has released tracks under that alias on Hipnotech, in addition to collaborations with Slum Village. ~ Andy Kellman
