The purpose of this FUNKMOSPHERE page is to provide a base for my Monday Nite thang here in L.A. @ Carbon located on 9300 Venice BL., just west of Roberston Bl, across from the In-n-Out Burger in Culver City.
Also, on this page you'll be kept up on the FUNKMOSPHERE selectors, weekly set list, Funk & Boogie related blogs, vids, interviews with fellow Funksta's, rare trax, and much more.
This is seperate from my specifically artist based myspace.com/damfunk page.
I hope you'll enjoy stopping by this FUNKMOSPHERE page from time to time.
I plan on making this a cool experience for you & me.
Stay up.
