Dâm-Funk
Invite The Light (Stones Throw Records)
6/10
Damon Riddick's CV is rather impressive. The Los Angeles artist has been a session musician for Ice Cube and Mack 10, worked with Snoop Dogg's Snoopzilla alias on '7 Days Of Funk' and provided beats for Eglo Records artist Fatima.
Snoop's on his latest LP, too, with rapper Q-Tip also making an appearance on the zippy, starlit 'I'm Just Tryna' Survive (In The Big City)'.
The squelchy synths and intergalactic funk of the record's first half stand tall, but at 20 tracks long, it becomes a tad tiresome at the halfway mark.
He's Dâm good on the buttons, so it's a shame that this clocks in at about 90-minutes long.
