Following contributions from the likes of DJ Koze, Actress, and MoodymanDâM-FunK is set to become the next artist to bestow his musical prowess and reflection to the esteemed DJ-Kicks series. Known all around the world for his multi-layered, G funk-laden style and adored in his native Los Angeles for his consistent contributions to the city’s nightlife and preferred sound, DâM-FunK can be credited with the revamping and revival of the sound that is now known as “Modern Funk.” In a press release, he explains the genre plainly by saying “Modern-Funk is a combination of all the sounds on the mix: Funk, Boogie, Electro, House, Modern-Soul, Ambient tones… a push and pull of nostalgia and progressiveness…”
