Dam-Funk

So for the 80th posting I chose my favorite funky dude and his European Nights.....released only on Stones Throw European tour as a CDR, Eurpean Nights provides a integral look into the Modern-Funk sound. The Toeachizown installments are finally over.....all EPs are out and the LP is available everywhere as a double CD set and soon in vinyl. There are four tracks on this release featuring Dam at his all time best and of course I had to share.....No explaination needed....

Wavelength

You might be wondering why there is a picture of Dam-Funk under a post entitled Wavelength......well thats because Wavelength is Dam-Funk and Dam-Funk is Wavelength......I have done some investigating and found that this moniker is quite mysterious and seems to be the only other name he operates under......This is the only release under this title that I know of I encourage anyone to let me know if there are any others but as always I feel I am quite alone on this blog so I am not gonna hold my breathe......

Wavelength (Dam-Funk) - Funk Dreams/Life Turns EP

This is a heavy synthed out discofunkboogie straight out of 1982 but was released this year. There are few albums that I really like EVERY song but I like EVERY song on this album all ten tracks are sick.....if you are not feeling the modern funk thing this is not for you but I assure this album might change your mind.......check out the other dudes from highsteppin' where they have this LP and two others from Jinesis and Prickly Pear as well as a plethora of free jazzyfunkysynthydisco mixtapes. A sweet record company all around check check it....anyways here is.....

Master Blazter

This is probably the best podcast I own right now. This is a live, IMPROVISED, set from Dam-Funk, Computer Jay and J-1, otherwise known as Master Blazter, at the HVW8 gallery in December of 2008. With Dam-Funk on Mirco Korg synthesizer, Roland Juno synthesizer, Sequential Circuits Drum machine and his voice......Computer Jay on Fender Rhodes- mark X (Customized.. One of a kind), Moog Opus, Micro Moog and the Moogodore (Custom piece- It's a circuit bent Commodore 64 designed to have controls like an analog synth.. Then it runs it thru several MoogerFooger pedals. Hence the name Moogodore)...and J-1 on a standard drum kit this is not your run of the mill DJ set. I have to say this is something special......As it stands, Master Blazter is just an improv crew but upon further research I found that an album may be in the works on Heavyweight Productions (HVW8), which would make my life complete. SHIT IS HOT!
