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

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.

He just did a 2-track single with Ekkah as well.
"Space Between Us" is the better of the two songs, but "What's Up" is the only one on Youtube.

enjoying the DJ-Kicks, it sounds p much exactly what you would imagine a Dam Funk DJKicks to sound like, which is good.
― socka flocka-jones (man alive), Wednesday, 15 June 2016 03:05 (seven years ago) link
Surprised there's almost no discussion of "Invite the Light" on here. is it because this thread is hard to search for or are people tuckered out on the dude's sound? I'm on listen #4 now, it gets a bit better each time, the longer tunes like "O.B.E." and especially "Floating On Air" are excellent, I also dig "Surveillance Escape" for its sheer campiness. The Ariel Pink tune pretty much bites it though, I'm afraid.

Don't love it as much as Toeachizown or the Steve Arrington joint, but that's just relative points on a scale of stuff I love
― Rock Wokeman (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 28 December 2016 18:48 (seven years ago) link
wasn't a huge fan of the Arrington album - it is nice but to me it just feels like he's adding lyrics to already-finished D-F tracks, several of which I'm pretty sure were released already. The title track rules though. 7 Days of Funk is pretty nice.
― frogbs, Wednesday, 28 December 2016 18:53 (seven years ago) link
Arrington is such a fun lyricist and I love his voice so I feel like it's his record as much as Damon's. Funkzilla is fine too but just a bit lesser on my scale
― Rock Wokeman (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 28 December 2016 19:10 (seven years ago) link
I dig his SoundCloud funk better than the albums and I'm not sure why. He's got a recent one up there, "I smoke music"... I mean that's the greatest title ever.

will check it out, everything on this comp is great but a lot of these artists have only released like two singles
vinyl version is quite a bit different, only 12 tracks but a few of the tracks show up in different versions & it's unmixed so most tracks are like a minute or two longer. "True To Yourself" is like 8 minutes longer
― frogbs, Thursday, 28 October 2021 02:43 (two years ago) link
was able to get a copy of Invite the Light for $20. would call it a steal but it looks like most copies are similarly priced. its such a good album too, kind of like his own Songs in the Key of Life in how it stretches his sound to every corner he can take it. packaging is super cool too, ultra shiny, almost like a hologram. all three records are white with different color labels. actually kind of sucks that so many copies are out there, suggests this was a gamble that didn't work. doesn't mean you have to miss out though
