yeah, dam funk is the shit. I have to give Pipecock credit, I slept on this dude for a few weeks until he twisted my arm to check his shit out.
I have a copy of Rhythm Tracks IV and about half of it is bananas, the other half is alright. I still need to hunt down the other two records he has done.

i've seen him live a few times. some of my friends (http://beatelectric.blogspot.com/) used to do a regular boogie/disco night and brought him up. i dig the way he talks into a mic over all his songs. i honestly had no idea any of the stuff he was playing. it all sounded like rare zapp and roger unreleased tracks. maybe a lot of it was his own stuff?
still have yet to hear his album.

exactly, and as such it will not go out of style for me to like Dam Funk's music. it's cool that he seems to be hitting big in terms of wide appreciation right now, but it won't last long. 5 years from now people will be talking shit in this thread and i'll still at the very least be bumping the records he's already released.

Embarrassingly, I'd never heard of DaM-FunK before this thread got revived. A few sound clips in, a quick trip to the record store to see if they had a copy of the 5-LP Toeachizown box (THEY DID), a few sides deep, and HOLY hell this is brilliant shit. I'm grinning like an idiot at pretty much every single track, and there are still 2 1/2 LPs to go. He makes keyboard pitchbending seem like simultaneously the most elemental and most out-there thing I've ever heard. I kind of feel like if everyone in the world could listen to one of his tracks simultaneously we might be able to achieve world peace.

^ Extract from the interview with Damon:
"I'm tired of people making songs like 'Niggas in Paris'. You got millionaires like Kanye and Jay-Z who still have the nerve to use that kind of word and have the whole world running around talking about niggas in Paris. What are you doing? You got millions, fool. What are you doing making my race look bad? You don't ever hear people say 'Kikes in Paris', 'Chinks in Paris', 'Wetbacks in Paris'? So why do you degrade my race and my people? I'm tired of it, I'm not degrading my black people in my music, I won't. I won't be like those other coons doing it right now."
