Shout to LA Boogie Funk ambassador Dam-Funk for the heads up on this Aurra clip of their 1981 classic Are You Single.

Check out the tracklisting on this set.....

Browsing the My Space bulletins, I came across the following blog from a favourite producer / musician of mine, the man who has been said by Ty G of HVW8 to have "almost single handedly brought the Boogie scene to life in LA", he goes by the name of Dam - Funk. Well written, it's a glimpse into his recent set at one of LA's dopest parties "the DO-OVER"....



Dam - Funk take it away....

"So, this was a pretty cool hit this past Sunday at one of L.A.'s freshest parties known as the DO~OVER, which is run by Haycock & Strong + hosted by Aloe Blacc. I went on after the homie KUTMAH (Much luv 4 droppin' "Burgundy City"!), who played an excellent set by the way. My set was all Boogie & Funk styles (also known as: Boogie-Funk) via the 'original wax pressings'. It's a trip sometimes playing this style outside of my own spot; Funkmosphere and other like minded parties/venues around the country right now, due to the fact that Hip-Hop is still the most dominant form of 'party music', if you will, out there for the weekend club goer. Nevertheless, I stayed true to what I dig and enjoy sharing with the people...all the way thru. As I approached the tables, as I always do, never planning a set in advance (ie. what I'm gonna play) I decided to drop these joints for the DO~OVER crowd. From the vibes of the people who were 'really there for the music', as well as straight party on this afternoon/evening, it felt like everything worked out real cool.

Props 2 ALL the ladies in the house & MUCH luv 2 the entire DO~OVER fam!
