This post is in a way long overdue, because we’ve been fans of On Point for a while, but somehow someway we never quite got round to linking them properly before. Thanks to the wonders of Twitter and the innanets we’re rectifying this.
On Point have just upped a video interview of Dam Funk, the Stones Throw artist that has been spearheading a west coast Funk revival as of late. Listeners of the show will know that we’ve got love for the man, as do many of the top BBC DJs like Benji B, Mary Ann Hobbs and others who’ve been supporting his stuff non stop for a while now.
Dam Funk is over for the Stones Throw Europe tour, which has been doing damages in various cities Europe wide. The Serie B boys in Spain were raving about Dam’s set in a recent email and every feedback we’ve heard has been ridiculously positive. Dam’s album drops on Stones Throw very soon, peep their site for more.
For now though enjoy this dope interview with the man, and if you’re not familiar with On Point yet be sure to check their archives of interviews which include some very interesting sessions with Flying Lotus, Jose James and many more.
Actually as I’m about to press the publish button I’ve just remembered that I think we posted the link to the Fly Lo interview last year. Still though we’re long overdue!
Edit – we’d forgot to include that the interview was actually mainly conducted by BartSibiel for the OndaSonora radio show. You can more of the interview on their show, and look out for a transcript of the interview that goes even deeper into Dam’s influences and the tracks he mentions.
