Dam-Funk did a real cool little in-store DJ set at Academy Records Thursday - the perfect mix of connoisseur-level boogie-funk obscurities, classics, Italo, and soulful Chicago house to counter all this sh*tty-ass weather. I've been openly jocking everything this guy's done for the past several months - the singles, the remixes, the EP, the 45 under the generic dance music alias etc. And I'm counting on the forthcoming album being a monster (in more way than one if the speculation about quintuple-vinyl and different digi versions is to be believed). Makes me feel bad that I was such an East Coast elitist in the '90s and dismissed all those G-Funk records he played keyboards on without actually hearing them. (I gotta say, the Kokane track he played during the in-store was kinda fire.)
Thinking 'bout hitting the shops today and getting my Def Jam West and Doggystyle Records collections up to par. ("Summertime in the LBC...")
On second thought maybe I'll just wait for Dam's album.
