Dam-Funk - Invite The Light - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Damon InchDam-FunkInch Riddick is the epitome of funk. Ever since debuting with Stones Throw in 2008, Dam-Funk has become one of the genres most passionate proselytizers. In 2013, he released his celebrated partnership with hip hop's Snoop Dogg titled 7 DAYS OF FUNK. Fresh for '15, Dam returns with a solo project nearly six years in the making Invite the Light. Dam's partnership with Stones Throw includes everything from his 2009 LP Toeachizown, to an anthology of early productions, Adolescent Funk (2010), to 2013's 7 Days of Funk. As always, Dam flexes his multi-instrumentalist talents by handling all the production but still makes time for guests including rapper Q-Tip, the father-son duo of LEON SYLVERS III & IV, and funk giant Junie Morrison of the OHIO PLAYERS, who opens and closes the album with dire warnings of what could happen in a world without funk. Rest assured, Dam is here to make sure that never comes to pass. As he puts it, Inchfunk is the underdog, the black sheep of black music,Inch and if that's true, Dam-Funk is it's shepherd.

The iconic and influential electronic pop group Ladytron returns with a new album 'Paradises' - their first since 2023's critically acclaimed 'Time's Arrow'.Spanning dance and indie movements since their formation in Liverpool at the end of the last millennium, Ladytron have earned a unique position by carving out new sonic and conceptual space, and refusing to abide by formula or trend. In the early 2000s, the fiercely individual group were placed at the forefront of the so-called electro-clash scene (which now enjoys another revival), but with time, they came to appreciate the pop cultural moment that they had reluctantly become part of.The new album follows a period of renewed cultural presence for the band. Their 2002 single InchSeventeenInch unexpectedly went viral on TikTok, introducing Ladytron's sound to a new generation and amassing hundreds of thousands of fan-made clips. Their legacy was further acknowledged recently with InchDestroy Everything You Touch,Inch one of their most celebrated tracks, featured in the GRAMMY-nominated original Motion Picture Soundtrack of cult movie Saltburn, reaffirming Ladytron's enduring appeal.
