{"product_id":"730003733215","title":"DJ KICKS (2LP\/CD) | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA lot of folks feel like they know Dam-Funk; he is laid-back, affable and personable but to truly get the guy, I mean really understand him, is to know a deep love of music like no other. A more suitable reflection of this is his contribution to the beloved DJ-Kicks series. A snapshot into the mind of the pioneer of Modern-Funk music... get to know the man behind the shades. At a satisfying 19 songs, Dam let's grooves breath, this is a mix to happily get lost within. It's a document in vibe. Unexpected contemporary joints from low-key producers like Henning and L33 mingle with lost gems from unlikely places. 80's Fusion-Jazz guitarist Tony Palkovic on \"True To Yourself\" follow the the airy-burn of new-age ensemble Gaussian Curve's \"Broken Clouds\" or the super rare bliss-Funk of \"Theme From Beach Boy\" from 1982. Dam's excellent collaboration with Nite Jewel, as 'Nite-Funk' on \"Can U Read Me?\" is pure bliss and such a fantastic collaboration you'd be yearning for more., reminding listens that one of Dam's biggest assists is his duality from master DJ to trend-setting producer. And we get this heavy on Dam's DJKicks exclusive \"Believer\". Sheets of synth lines fall all around a locking drum program that starts off innocently enough but ends you in a halfhypnotic state. An extensive instrumental composition that on it's own could only be classified as signature Modern-Funk. There may be a lot of folks dabbling but there really is only one Damon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DAM FUNK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46063207743733,"sku":"730003733215","price":30.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/0730003733215.jpg?v=1731295203","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/730003733215","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
