and on



Dam Funk, the king of LA electro-boogie, has just released a new album of sexy, funky tracks titled Toeachizown Vol. One. On the venerable Stones Throw label, the record is a true gem, mixing LA boogie styles with 80s electro-rap vibes, plus a dash of Detroit electro-funk thrown in for good measure. "On & On" is slow grooving ride, replete with fuzzed-out bass, a sparkling main synth line, and some timely stabs and flourishes. Vocoded vocals add a nice lushness to the mix, and there you have it: a sensual piece of modern funk that is bound to get you all hot inside and out. Worth mentioning, too, is that Dam Funk is one hell of a great live DJ, and with his sets floating around the internet like wildfire, one has no excuse to not dig this man's vibes.

goin to L.A.



Back in the saddle here. Sorry about all the computer bullshit of the past week!

Today, I'm giving you a great 2002 track from Dynamix II, two Floridians who have sold more than a million records in their time. "Pledge Your Allegiance 2 Electro Funk" is a hi-bpm throwback of a track that recalls the late eighties more than the millenium years, with excellent vocoded vocals, a sick bass-line, and totally jive synth flourishes. What's more, this track demands that the listener dance. So get on the floor.

Next up, some sick pre-techno from Brian Eno.
