More recently, Stones Throw has been adamant about leaking rough cuts of tracks from artist on their website. If you follow the label, then you know that dropping undressed music isn't something foreign for them, but has been a more recognizable feature on LP's and various compilations that have been released. As the label progresses [...]

For a man like Dâm-Funk , funk comes naturally, and music comes after. In these days of people using the word 'swag' incessantly, it's nice to know there are still cool cats about who don't rely purely on rap music. This kind of West Coast funk is scarce these days, and it does seem Dâm-Funk is pulling most of the weight. Drum machine loops and all, the guy could single handedly blow Snoop out of the water whenever he liked. And he made this track just earlier today . Check this out, it'll go down smooth. [...]

Tiombe Lockhart, Nick Hook and Daoud Sturdivant have blended elements of house, R&B and experimental electronics to make what Dazed & Confused calls, "hyped-up, sexually-charged club music that is raw, unblinkered and very fresh...the real deal. The trio's first album , including the lovely [...]

Above is the video for "It's My Life," which the duo recorded, without editing, direct to vinyl. ► AWOLNATION brings the bombastic dance-rock on its debut album "Megalithic Symphony" to the Music Box, supported by Middle Class Rut and Twin Atlantic. Fans who bring canned goods to support the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank will [...]

The Dam Funk show at Sonar on Friday was quite impressive. The last time I had seen Dam Funk at the Ottobar, but he was playing solo. He was amazing at that show alone, so this was 10x better since he had a backing band. His brand of funk is very progressive, and I can't think of anyone who is taking a genre in a new direction quite like he is at the resent moment. The music has the perfect amount of experimentation, traditional funk, and external influences (sometimes even punk). It's so smooth that it's easy to [...]
Damon Riddick stays wrecking keyboards and minds with his third eye on high beam funk. Earlier this week, he stopped by Tim Sweeney's Beats in Space radio show to lace us with a half-dozen unheard solo tracks, plus a Nite Jewel remix, some Steve Arrington, and other esoteric grooves that you will want to hear - including Adrian Gurvitz, whose "Love Space" might be my favorite new old discovery of the year. Someone give this man his own radio show. Dam's been on the road for the last month, with five dates left. If you haven't seen [...]
