New old Dam-Funk album

Everyone knows the story of Madlib’s first Quasimodo album only taking an evening and a bag of shrooms to make? Well, it seems that – more

Nitefunk to get its freak on

Los Angeles presents an exciting new team up entitled Nite Funk, courtesy of lo-fi disco chanteuse Nite Jewel and seedy future boogie producer DâM-FunK. The Californian pair entered the studio recently to get their collaboration suits on to create a brand new EP for Stones Throw. Since Dam FunK’s debut 2009 album Toeachizown we’ve come – more
