The Independent – San Francisco
September 6th, 2015 //

Hailing from Pasadena, Calif., Damon Riddick, aka DāM-FunK, made a name for himself as the modern-funk master when he debuted with Stones Throw Records in 2008. As a 70’s baby, DāM-FunK nurtured his musical talents through his teens and set out to save funk from “the devilish depictions of cartoonish caricatures.”

With songs dubbed “Searchin’ 4 Funk’s Future”, DāM-FunK’s sophomore album Toeachizown proved to the world that “funk is not just a Jheri Curl. There was more to it than that.” Since his debut album, Riddick has continued to produce 80’s throwbacks like his latest single “Glyde 2nyte”.

This Sunday, DāM-FunK will take The Independent down memory lane in all his funk glory with Los Angeles singer-songwriter Ramona Gonzalez, aka Nite Jewel, and SF DJ crew Sweater Funk providing support.

Chi-town mashup giants Aaron Brink and Steve Reidell, aka The Hood Internet, bring their legendary remixes to the Mezzanine this Saturday with support from MPHD, Sad Andy and Nanosaur. Former bandmates-turned-producers inspired by the innovative stylings of Girl Talk and Them Jeans, Aaron Brink and Steve Reidell met in college and self-released their debut tracks as The Hood Internet on their self-titled music blog, starting in 2007. Gaining near immediate traction, New York picked up on their Midwest mixtapes and helped further promote the duo’s unique blend of indie-rock and hip-hop samples into the mainstream, ranking on media year-end “Best of” and Top 10 lists nationwide. Beyond dominating the first decade of the 2000’s mashup game, The Hood Internet also landed corporate sponsorship from the prolific N.Y. streetwear brand Mishka and released a studio album on the Decon Label in 2012. A guaranteed dance party, setting off the evening with a Hosted Russian Standard Vodka Bar from 9-10 p.m., this night will be a perfect warm-up for NYE festivities and one surely not to miss.
