Pasadena icon and modern funk impresario Dâm-Funk occupies a unique space in music. Looking back at a catalog of classics on Stones Throw and Music for Memory, as well as on his own label, Glydezone Recordings, Dâm has become one of the most progressive forces on the global underground. However, by collaborating with big shots like Snoop, Mac Miller (RIP), and Christine & The Queens, Dâm constantly peeked into mainstream success as well.
In this episode of Calling in a Favour, Julian and Dâm catch up in a hotel bar in Düsseldorf to discuss the merits of traveling solo, the wanderlust instilled in him by his Berlin-raised father, the importance of keeping your cool on social media, and his upcoming projects. PLUS: PRINCE! PATRICK ADAMS! BLUE ÖYSTER CULT!
