About Me

You may know dÃ£m-funk from his remix of Baron Zen's "Burn Rubber" & his debut solo joint "Sidewayz" both out now on Stones Throw yet, he also throw's one of the freshest Monday nite parties in L.A. called FUNKMOSPHERE which focues on rare joints via 'original wax' from the early 80's based Boogie/Funk, Modern-Soul, & 'current' Modern-Funk sub genres respectfully. An L.A. native, raised in Pasadena, CA & now based in the Leimert Park section of Los Angeles, dÃ£m is now currently recording his debut 'EP' for Stones Throw Records with full support from label president & friend Peanut Butter Wolf which promises to be the 'Modern-Funk' project everyones been waiting for to emerge from the left coast."dÃ£m-funk is a man that's almost single-handedly brought the 'Boogie' scene to life here in LA." - Ty G ~ HVW8.com::IN FINER MUSIC STORES: MAY 27TH on STONES THROW Records:: [Piccadillyrecords.com is saying: Dam Funk : "Burgundy City" b/w "Galactic Fun" on Stones Throw. "With highlight appearances on Peanut Butter Wolf's "2K8" compilation and Baron Zen's "At The Mall Remixes" set as well as numerous touring gigs with his new label, Dam Funk finally releases his debut 12", with stunning artwork and forward-thinking, synth-driven beats. Sounds like... waywardly funky electro-dance with the typical Stones Throw hallmark of maverick genius."]*LISTEN HERE* ::STONES THROW PODCAST 28 dÃ£m-funk ~ 'BOOGIE-FUNK' / 2008:: MIAMI WMC 2008 "Sidewayz" - D-F
