Not sure about it yet - seems like it relies a little too heavily on the whole throwback joke.

seems to rely heavily on the underdeveloped music of a teenager noodling around. stones throw cash-in

So he's working on an album with Slave's Steve Arrington and this 1st single is AMAZING:

Great track.

The last minute is sublime.

These new projects are 4 U. Unlike others..I don't make music 'just 4 me'. I make it '4 U'. Please stay tuned. [EP: soon. Full length: 2012]

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.

Dam-Funk put together a Prince mix for Wax Poetics, featuring him covering 17 days and a bunch of live stuff/remixes/etc.

Oh shit. Ignore that.

My brain is just not working today. But the mix is worth bumping again. It's A++.

new rec in july apparently

amazing live

@DaMFunK I'm about 2 throw up a ‪#preview‬ from the new LP. Fu*k it. It'll only be up for 30 minutes. And, it's some ‪#Gangsta‬ sh*t! In a minute ya'll.

real nice

that's not bad but i find him a lot less interesting when he's doing straight rap shit like that

IMO the more guest vocalists he gets, the better

great live

i love how the picture at top keeps changing every time the thread gets refreshed

Rare Dâm-Funk interview on collabos and the upcoming singles and album Invite The Light. Including unusual sharp words on 'Niggas In Paris' / Tyler The Creator from 5:30 on

http://www.mixcloud.com/Sterrenplaten/dam-funk-interview-dour-festival-2012

^ 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."

spiritual gospel funk mix by Dam-Funk earlier this month for the Stones Throw podcast. just started playing this morning but it is greeting the morning right

The first installment is also the business: http://www.stonesthrow.com/news/2011/12/dam-funk-spiritual-flight-full-unedited-presentation

^ I don't have much to say about this other than the lyrics are hilarious

"10 west" is just the dopest song

7 Days of Funk == luuuuush

Dam Funk is the shit. i'm sure it will be uncool to like him on ILM soon enough.

pipecock was right i havent checked for him since 2010 :(

not sure if i'll ever listen to another dam funk record but i will always have time for toeachizown

oh guys the Steve Arrington collab is brilliant, this new one with Snoop isn't as brilliant but still sweet, i could live in Damon's woozy head-world forever tbh

this is pretty great

some hipster dude told me it's better than snoop's first album to which my response was LOL

still it made me excited to hear it

did he actually use the phrase "snoop's first album"

actually, i think he said "early snoop"
