"I've been partying since 1984," says Jamal Moss, the living Chicago legend known by his dedicated cult following as the one, the only, Hieroglyphic Being.

"40 years later, it's drastically different - everybody's angry!" So sets the stage for Dance Music 4 Bad People, the artist's first album for Smalltown Supersound.

Tapping back into the same cosmic frequencies responsible for the prolific house virtuoso's most vital work, the album sees Moss coaxing nine anthems for those up to no good from out of the ether.

With driving drum machine workouts and low-slung synth sexuality, Hieroglyphic Being pays homage to human fallibility, drawing focus on the revolutionary potential of house music and club culture that is so often lost to the chaos of the present.

"I have yet to walk into a club and see everybody hug and say: Let's forgive each other, let's move forward and make the world a better place," he levels.

"With all these conversations about sexuality, ethnicity, politics, whatever, when you walk into an environment with the music, you are supposed to celebrate all of that.

Let it be and come together."
