Dam-Funk (Stones THrow /LA) - Roxanne Parlour - May 14th
Niche Productions is proud to present the debut Australian tour of the ambassador of Boogie-Funk, Dâm-Funk (Stones Throw - Los Angeles, California). Teaming up with The Operatives to present the Melbourne show. Bursting on to the scene in 08-09, Dâm (pronounced 'Dame', as in Damon) won over a slew of fans from Disco-Boogie aficionados, the Beat scene, hardcore Hip Hop heads and Hipsters alike with his debut 12" 'Burgundy City/Galactic Fun.'
In 2009, he was one of Stones Throw busiest artists, putting out so much material you'd think he was giving Madlib a run for his money, with the 'Toeachizown' album being released digitally in five installments, all of which teased fans with different elements of his influences. During this time he also managed to put out a few mix CDs, a beat tape as part of Stones Throw's 'Rhythm Trax' series and turned in remixes for Red, Baron Zen and superstars Animal Collective. At the tail end of 2009, the album was released in 2CD and deluxe 5LP box set editions.
His Monday night Funkmosphere club night is the stuff made of legends. From record-dealer types with obscene collections to a heavily bearded Joaquim Phoenix and beyond, it's the spot that everyone is trying to get in to. But Dâm's roots go well back to a time before 'Disco' was a cool word.
Cutting his teeth as a session keyboard player for artists of the G-Funk era like Mack 10, MC Eight and Westside Connection, you can easily hear his hip-hop roots in songs like 'Hood Pass Intact', and even though he dresses the part, don't expect Dâm to get all thugged out on us out here on his debut tour. Dâm-Funk promotes love, spirituality, astrology and good vibes with his music and his open and outward personality - if you've ever heard him be interviewed or seen live clips online, you will know he is very generous with his time.
Calling his sound 'Modern Funk', Dâm-Funk's live show takes in both his impeccable DJ mixing style as well as a Live-PA style side which includes vocals and keyboards, showcasing both the original material he writes and records, and the records which have inspired him.

Crosses that cheese barrier occassionally but he definitely has some interesting stuff. Serious funk-man, no doubt.

Great show so much passion...The Operatives do it again, cheers lads.
Re: Dam-Funk (Stones THrow /LA) - Roxanne Parlour - May 14t
Holy hell that was a great show. So good to see that many people turn out to see something a bit different.
I have to say that Sean Deans absolutely killed it and for me that was set of the nice. So good to have him back in town.
Big ups Operatives for continually pushing so many different sounds. Look our for some brilliant forthcoming shows.
