Collections: Dam-Funk by brtvofficial


OK - so I get that some folks may feel that this blog is getting a bit Dâm-Funk heavy these days. But on some level it could be argued that he's one of the only contemporary cats actually presenting himself as a straight-up legit Funk artist at the moment - so you gotta show the brother some love! Plus, the man has impeccable taste, as highlighted by this foray into his personal record collection recorded for Boiler Room in July and released yesterday.

Some of these jams are PURE DOPE - further cementing my view of Dâm as a Funk Masta himself - and features relatively obscure cuts from Vanity 6, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Oliver Cheatham and a host of undug jems.

If you're like me and prefer your mixtapes a little more portable, you can grab a copy of Dâm's 2008 Stones Throw Podcast from here, free with any purchase from the label (so good that I might have to give it a post of its own!). So whilst your there, maybe consider pre-ordering Dâm's new serving of Funk fo' yo' platter, Invite the Light - a triple LP set that's shaping up to be real nice.
