Jeff: True the recording is a lot more crisp, but to my ears they share the same spaced out weed-cookie haziness. That Funk can hit that through composition instead of just tape his is to his credit though. Drizzle: ouch.

The man knows how to move a dance floor, and closes his sets with flamboyant keytar solos and robo vocoder crooning. Excellent fun. Don’t miss the live show.

I agree with Weiss' take. Dam-funk has a much more confident approach and his sound is far more polished. Sach, Dam-funk with an asymmetrical haircut is just James Pants. I agree with Weiss’ take.

The glo-fi guys revel in the chintzy homemade feel, but this is very clearly stuff being made by a guy who knows how to record. It's shiny without being glossy, full of bright colors--more roller-skate funk than the comedown after the party.
