Special 'FUNK' music created by an only child, raised in Pasadena, Ca. & now based in the Leimert Park section of L.A.
You may know dãm-funk from his remix of Baron Zen's "Burn Rubber" & his debut solo joint "Sidewayz" both out now on Stones Throw yet, he also throw's one of the freshest Monday nite parties in L.A. called FUNKMOSPHERE which focues on rare joints via 'original wax' from the early 80's based Boogie/Funk, Modern-Soul, & 'current' Modern-Funk sub genres respectfully.
An L.A. native, raised in Pasadena, CA & now based in the Leimert Park section of Los Angeles, dãm is now currently recording his debut 'EP' for Stones Throw Records with full support from label president & friend Peanut Butter Wolf which promises to be the 'Modern-Funk' project everyones been waiting for to emerge from the left coast.

[Piccadillyrecords.com is saying:
Dam Funk : "Burgundy City" b/w "Galactic Fun" on Stones Throw. "With highlight appearances on Peanut Butter Wolf's "2K8" compilation and Baron Zen's "At The Mall Remixes" set as well as numerous touring gigs with his new label, Dam Funk finally releases his debut 12", with stunning artwork and forward-thinking, synth-driven beats. Sounds like... waywardly funky electro-dance with the typical Stones Throw hallmark of maverick genius."]
