Recently Damon aka Dam-Funk aka the ‘Ambassador of Boogie Funk’ was in London and visited the Red Bull Music Academy to do a lecture. I must say I found it very intriging and too bad we had to miss this one. Hopefully next week we’ll have the honor of seeing Muhsinah, J.Rocc or even Flying Lotus on that couch. Really feeling D-F on never giving up on your dreams and letting nobody hold you back. Check out what else he had to say and get out the popcorn for this…enjoy!

Heard Dorian Concepts “Play With Sand” a while back on Ritornells “The Absence of One” mix for Percussion Lab. Now I just received this in my inbox, and feel like i should share this with you. It’s only a stream cause we don’t know it this will be an official release, but if he ever decides to release it we suggest you to buy it. And if you feel like you should buy something right now you can still get “When Planets Explode” on Rushhour.
