dãm-funk - Don't Make Me Funk You Up


dãm-funk is a very interesting new artist, well to me at least, emerging from the very healthy Los Angeles scene at the moment. With a list of influences that include the likes of Slave, Aurra, most things on Prelude records and all points in between, dãm-funk has been exploring the outer cosmos of the boogie sound by merging it with a healthy dose of space funk as evidenced by his frankly brilliant sets at Funkmosphere. His music is sample-free and incredibly he used to play the keys for Ice Cube back in the day - I'd love to hear Ice Cube collaborating with dãm-funk on a boogie record. This record isn't out yet but it'll drop soon enough, so I'm not going to keep it up here for too long. It's just the sort of record Sa-ra wished that they could make and it is easily my favourite track at the moment by quite some way. He's recently released a double A-Side single on the might Stones Throw, Burgundy City/Galactic Fun, and it is ridiculously good and is available from all the usual suspects. I can't wait to hear what dãm-funk has in store for us next.
