Listen to Dâm-Funk's private press cassette tape from 1994

Known as Los Angeles' "Ambassador of Boogie Funk," Dam-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. 

As a DJ/selector, Dãm attracts the most discerning Boogie Funk afficionados within driving distance of his storied Monday-night Funkmosphere parties. But it's not just collectors at the bar toasting to the melodic sounds. Anyone who grooves to the likes of Slave, Aurra, early Prince, Prelude Records and the like, will get a dose of those groups' unknown contemporaries – more obscure but equally Funk-worthy.

*Warning: Contains Explicit Language*

Recorded in 1994 in my bedroom, this is: "Tranquil Funk"; which was a 16 track cassette tape only given out 2 close friends & associates in my Pasadena, Ca. neighborhood, without any intentions of getting a 'record deal' or any of the sort. I was just doing what I love: Music.

At this time in my life I was very young in the mind (via the 'immature use' of the 'N' word, in 'some' of these tracks & a word I NEVER will use in 'my own personal music' ever again), yet musically advanced amongst my peers. This 'limited time only' FREE DOWNLOAD is a snapshot in time, in relation 2 my story & origins within this music game.
