Dam-Funk, "Hood Pass Intact"

I can't believe I haven't posted this before. A perfect video that captures much of what Dam-Funk is all about. Also happens to be one of my favorite beats. He's performing tonight at 7th Street. This is a can't-miss show as the openers include my favorite local DJ, Mike 2600, as well as beatsmith and turntable technician Andrew BrodR.

...digitized from the 7", so they're far from quantized or mastered.  But they still sound funkaLICIOUS!

Adult Swim x Scion present {UNCLASSIFIED}

Both Adult Swim and Scion have been fantastic at creating highly critical and influential compilations over the last few years.  One of my personal faves was the Adult Swim collaboration with the now defunct Def Jux label.  Scion also recently put out a short EP with long-time-but-currently-trending funk master, Dam-Funk.  Now they both team up to bring together some of the hottest UK electronic artists in the scene including personal faves SBTRKT, Zomby and Boxcutter.

Dam-Funk drops free tracks on Twitter

If you've been following Dam-Funk on twitter, you'd already be up on this. But I won't hold it against you if you're not. That's why you follow this blog, right? Below are four links to some electro-boogie groovers that the funk-o-tron himself released to his followers today. As he recommends, "U may wanna blaze up sumthin' real nice 4 this 1...seriously."

Funk With A Twist

Again, I'm late on giving you guys fair warning on this.  I've had this pic in my camera for weeks and never got around to posting it.  Well, it's TONIGHT at the Varsity Theater and is a must see.  Peanut Butter Wolf has his roots in hip-hop way back and James Pants is on some 70's revival production that is obscurely accessible.  Last but not least is the nu funk group, Dam-Funk, who will bring some live, funky, jazzy, downtempo-y goodness to the show.
