I used to think Dâm-Funk was the more typical kind of DJ, mostly because I’ve only seen him at festivals and big events, and never at Funkmosphere, the residency he’s held at an . bar for the past 10 years. In that more intimate environment, he can stretch out and offer a fully immersive sound experience. And after hearing his contribution to the DJ-Kicks franchise, which is designed to replicate the Funkmosphere vibe, it’s clear that he’s actually the second kind of DJ, and maybe one of the best at that specific kind of mind meld

Dâm-Funk - DJ-Kicks If you've ever been in the Los Angeles area on a Monday or Thursday night during the past decade, you might have caught Funkmosphere. Described as "LA's longest-running party for '80s-inspired funk, boogie, electro and modern funk," the weekly party was founded by SoCal native Dâm-Funk, an artist whose dedication to the music is only rivaled by his encyclopedic knowledge. The only unexpected inclusion is "Broken Clouds," a beatless, drowsy synth piece from Gaussian Curve's excellent debut album Clouds. Aside from the song being gorgeous in and of itself, the way Riddick uses it to move from hard-smacking funk to a more sentimental zone is remarkable. Broken Clouds" slips effortlessly into the stepping, melodic groove of "True To Yourself" by Tony Palkovic, an early '80s musician who was recently reissued by Washington, DC, label PPU.
