Classic Mixes: Dam-Funk “Boogie Funk Mix” (2008)

Soul & Funk

Over these past few years Damon Riddick aka Dam-Funk has become a household name amongst all the Boogie, Disco, Funk and Soul heads. And with good reason the DAME is one of the most talented, yet most humble and positive cats out there.

This mix came out in 2008 as part of the Stones Throw podcast series and it features tons of rare and not so rare jams but like always DF was generous enough to shine a light on the artists and write down the entire tracklist. One of the main reasons I love Dam-Funk is that when it comes to his DJing, he doesn’t make it all about himself… he shares the knowledge because the artists that made these 20 years ago deserve it!

I got the chance to play with him in 2009 and here is the recording.
