Dâm Funk is in works of releasing his new album "Toeachizown", due out in '09 on Stones Throw. He is def. on the forefront of resurrecting that West Coast Electro-Funk and with his sets at Funkmosphere every Monday night in L.A., he proves that vinyl is king and his roots run deep. He recently released his "Burgundy City" b/w "Galactic Fun" 12" and has a slew of mixes from his Funkmosphere sessions and Stones Throw podcasts. Get at his Myspace where he's always updating his tracks. His arsenal of the warm vintage synths is unmistakably the core of his sound, from an uptempo track like "Galactic Fun" to some slow 80 bpm banger, he will put you on a beach in another planet. Put it this way, if I can imagine Dr. Dre as an underground artist, he'd be making music like this, or better yet , if Dâm Funk was an artist in the late 70's, Dre would be sampling his shit...straight West Coast G-Funk era.
