DAM FUNK + MASTER BLAZTER
Known as Los Angeles' "Ambassador of Boogie Funk," Dãm-Funk represents the citizens of the Funkmosphere. Headquartered in the Leimert Park section of L.A., Dãm (pronounced: 'Dame' as in Damon) spent the last few years cultivating a musical renaissance rooted in the early-'80s styles known as Boogie, Modern Soul and Electro-Funk.

Master Blazter demonstrates how the LA modern funk and boogie scene is starting to bubble and boil over. Three musicians with their own distinctive styles have come together to form Master Blazter. Each individual is an integral part of the whole - each necessary to keep funk music alive and drive it to unforeseen heights. Computer Jay develops hard hitting tracks built upon moog, rhodes and personally tweaked electro systems. J1 provides the backbone of rhythm on drums, while equally being comfortable producing quality funk laced beats. D-F adds his signature vocals and provides layers of deep grooves with his own keyboards and keytar.

MATTHEWDAVID
A willowy figure with wide smiles, his gentle presence and generous talents made him a welcome addition to internationally applauded LA creative circles: dublab, Poo-Bah, Low End Theory and Brainfeeder. Constant collaboration with these collectives helped inspire Matthewdavid to a build a platform of his own. His Leaving Records label has an ear to the next and an eye on the original. Through all these outlets Matthewdavid is dedicated to sharing elevated sounds and visions.

Matthewdavid's live performances are akin to watching a sorcerer conjure spirits from the deep. He pulls tones like artifacts from an astral trail that ebbs and flows with fresh discoveries. Along the way Matthewdavid collects exotic sound figures: spiraling amethyst cones and wild flowering buds. He treats each found sound like a bright fiber to be weaved into new waveforms. Outmind pulsates with this sense of constant discovery. It is a mosaic sparkling with mystic, radiant matter.

DEVONWHO
L.A based via Portland producer Devonwho drops some spacey electronic funk vibe of West Coast producers like Dam Funk. He has been making some noise in the West Coast’s thriving beat scene. His set at Portland's Do-Over was said to be "a producer's delight!"

SWEATER FUNK CREW
San Francisco's Sweater Funk crew have been repping boogie, modern soul, and steppers for 3+ years in a tiny basement in China Town. Having hosted and played with heavy international DJs/musicians such as Kon & Amir, Daz I Kue, Onra, Mayer Hawthorne, Dam Funk and Steve Arrington, the crew has been known to rock a party and leave a trail of happy sweaty dancers in their wake.

FIRST TOUCH MUSIC :: STYLIN 500

Music from First Touch on the new "Stylin 500" comp. My Friend Blues Lee of the group sent me over this promo package I would like to share with you! Although this track is from 2010, it might be new to some of you! Enjoy

Heard and Felt Music presents Stylin’ 500, a compilation in three parts celebrating 10 years and 500 episodes of Stylin’ on Melbourne’s iconic 3RRR-FM. Over this time Ennio Styles’ show has earned the respect of its global counterparts, having been praised by the likes of Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio 1), Alex Barck (Jazzanova, Berlin) and Rob Luis (Tru Thoughts, UK) on their own shows, as well as receiving awards in Melbourne papers The Age/EG and Inpress/Zebra.

Stylin’ 500 includes many unreleased, unavailable and undiscovered tracks, taking in underground US soul, hip hop and jazz, Melbourne beats and funk, European electronics, and more. Starting out as a ‘what if?’, the compilation soon expanded to become a huge three-part opus with 44 tracks featuring Imani (The Pharcyde), Opolopo, Mark de Clive-Lowe, Monica Blaire, Olivier Daysoul, Lanu, Nailah Porter, Fulgeance, Komarken Electronics, Julien Dyne, The RAah Project, Lewis McCallum, Salva, The Samps, Gypsy Brown and many more.

K-MAXX :: SUPER DRUNK

Hey boogie/modern funk fans, this is a HUGE supporter of the Sweater Funk movement in the Bay Area, K-MAXX, producer and host of the radio show Ghetto Gumbo on KPOO, every Friday 10 PM til 2 AM. This is his self produced album from 2009. Check out SUPA DRUNK for the boogie vibes. Been playin' a burn of this for days!




K-Maxx, aka Ken Hopkins, lives for the music. He's a Bay Area original from San Francisco, who's been involved with artists ranging from Dan the Automator, to R&B Legend/Icon Lenny Williams (Tower of Power), Too $hort, to King Tech (Wake Up Show) and many more.

Releasing two acclaimed underground albums during the Bay's initial reign in the 90's, K-Maxx began the early 2000's with his seminal "Ghetto Gumbo" radio show which can be heard Friday Nights on KPOO FM 89.5 (KPOO.COM) in San Francisco.

He returned to the music forefront in 2006, producing for artists like 05' B.A.R.S Underground Artist of the Year, Andre Nickatina and co-writing and producing the hit single "Tuesday" for R&B Legend Lenny Williams, which was recently in the Top 30 Urban AC nationwide.

A multi-instrumentalist (guitar, piano, keyboards, bass) using many methods to create his soundscapes, K-Maxx draws from a diverse array of influences and experiences to create a truly original sound. You can hear his experience as a top producer in the impeccable quality and depth of the production; his experience as a renowned radio host in the guests he’s brought on board; and his years paying his dues as a artist/musician in the depth and consciousness of the rhymes

KID INQUISITIVE :: SOUL PERSUASION :: HAIGHT & SOUL

Do you know about Kid Inquisitive?

JESSE is my guest on 3-11-11 over at Haight & Soul Happy Hour which I run every Friday. Let me tell you, the man has records... I mean THE MAN HAS RECORDS. Deep tunes in a variety of genres. He always blows my mind when he plays vinyl. If you have free time, we suggest you check out SOUL PERSUASION where you can keep up to date with Jesse and his collection. Below is his latest live mix (recorded on 2-2-11) which we recommend.


Jesse Nason:
A few weeks ago I played a set at the Grow Up party in San Francisco, at Madrone (it was actually the last time they held the party there). Randy Ellis, one of the organizers of the night, was good enough to invite me to play, and he recorded the set and spent time EQ-ing and adjusting volume levels too. Other than that the mix is what you would have heard if you had been there. A good time was had by all.




KID INQUISITIVE LIVE DJ MIX - RECORDED ON 2-2-11
