Hieroglyphic Being Dance Music 4 Bad People

"I've been partying since 1984," says Jamal Moss, the livingChicago legend known by his dedicated cult following as the one,the only, Hieroglyphic Being. "40 years later, it's drasticallydifferent - everybody's angry!" So sets the stage for Dance Music4 Bad People, the artist's first album for Smalltown Supersound.Tapping back into the same cosmic frequencies responsible forthe prolific house virtuoso's most vital work, the album sees Mosscoaxing nine anthems for those up to no good from out of theether. With driving drum machine workouts and low-slung synthsexuality, Hieroglyphic Being pays homage to human fallibility,drawing focus on the revolutionary potential of house music andclub culture that is so often lost to the chaos of the present. "Ihave yet to walk into a club and see everybody hug and say: Let'sforgive each other, let's move forward and make the world abetter place," he levels. "With all these conversations aboutsexuality, ethnicity, politics, whatever, when you walk into anenvironment with the music, you are supposed to celebrate all ofthat. Let it be and come together."
