kc Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) KC presents... DAM FUNK & MASTER BLAZTER (Stones Throw/L.A.) with guests: Motëm http://www.motem.ca/ SUP∆83 Jon Sikich Tuesday, Oct 18th, 2011 at This Ain't Hollywood Stones Throw: http://www.stonesthrow.com/damfunk Snoop Dogg Freestylin over Dam-Funk: Free download of the latest ep: http://scionav.com/collection/795/Scion-A/V-Presents:-Dam-Funk---InnaFocusedDaze Known as Los Angeles' "Ambassador of Boogie Funk," Dam-Funk represents the citizens of the Funkmosphere. Headquartered in the Leimert Park section of L.A., Dãm (pronounced: 'Dame' as in Damon) spent the last few years cultivating a musical renaissance rooted in the early-'80s styles known as Boogie, Modern Soul and Electro-Funk. As a DJ/selector, Dãm attracts the most discerning Boogie Funk afficionados within driving distance of his storied Monday-night Funkmosphere parties. But it's not just collectors at the bar toasting to the melodic sounds. Anyone who grooves to the likes of Slave, Aurra, early Prince, Prelude Records and the like, will get a dose of those groups' unknown contemporaries – more obscure but equally Funk-worthy. The next phase of the Ambassador's mission is his debut album Toeachizown: continuing the classic West Coast tradition into today's scene with Dãm's own original "Modern-Funk" compositions. By plugging in his arsenal of vintage synths and drum machines, Dãm channels the galactic harmonies of his inspiration into his own brand of new boogie. Stones Throw Records' like-minded honcho Peanut Butter Wolf brought Dãm on to the team to glide into the future with his unique, synth and bass-driven vibe. It's a promising new chapter for Southern Cali space funk. Advance tickets: $15 available Sept 23rd, More at the door.

kc Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 We got about a hundred people Edge.. It really should have been sold out though. I know you would have loved this band. For me, this was a tie with Lee Fields for show of the year in Hamilton. They played a 90 minute set and went all over the place musically, always funky though.. Here's a vid but of course it can barely capture the vibe and energy of the show.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Oh man....I suppose a hundred isn't bad for a Tuesday night? Easy for me to say though I really wish I could have been there to get my funk on!! I hope he comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
