DÂM-FUNK



Known as Los Angeles' "Ambassador of Boogie Funk," this man represents the citizens of the Funkmosphere to the fullest. Headquartered in the Culver City section of L.A., DâM (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. As a DJ, DâM attracts the most discerning boogie funk aficionados within driving distance of his storied Monday-night Funkmosphere parties.

Jay Electronica



Jay Electronica swept onto the hip hop scene in a wave of enigma late last decade. The effect of his quirky, emotional sound was compounded by the erratic methods of their release, drifting out unannounced via the internet - the Myspace leak of Act 1: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge), a fifteen minute opus laced with movie samples and beatless film soundtracks, represented the beginning of an astounding surge of interest in both the man and his music, back in 2007.
