yeah, dam funk is the shit. I have to give Pipecock credit, I slept on this dude for a few weeks until he twisted my arm to check his shit out.
I have a copy of Rhythm Tracks IV and about half of it is bananas, the other half is alright. I still need to hunt down the other two records he has done.

i've seen him live a few times. some of my friends (http://beatelectric.blogspot.com/) used to do a regular boogie/disco night and brought him up. i dig the way he talks into a mic over all his songs. i honestly had no idea any of the stuff he was playing. it all sounded like rare zapp and roger unreleased tracks. maybe a lot of it was his own stuff?
still have yet to hear his album.

exactly, and as such it will not go out of style for me to like Dam Funk's music. it's cool that he seems to be hitting big in terms of wide appreciation right now, but it won't last long. 5 years from now people will be talking shit in this thread and i'll still at the very least be bumping the records he's already released.

it's actually dame funk. cause his first name is damon. not sure if he realizes it makes him sound like a lady knight.

Is it still possible to track down those original EPs, though? It appears as though the tracks have been significantly shortened on the full-length album. Or am I misreading this information?

Look at the track lengths. All I know is that my version of the title track is 2 minutes long and on the original EP it is apparently 5. This is not the only instance of this. Also, there are at least two tracks not on the full-length? Can't figure out which ones.

― everybody loves am0n (J0rdan S.), Friday, 23 October 2009 02:31 (4 weeks ago) Permalink
the track lengths don't look to be that big of a deal tbh - "search 4 funk's future" & "LAtrifying" seem to have been cut down a few minutes but every other track just has a few seconds on at the end and i'm sure that's because he had to mix all the songs into each other differently than on the EP & because of time constraints
