Dam-funk
Adolescent Funk
A young Dam-Funk, 14 tracks recorded on cassette, 1988-1992. Adolescent Funk sheds a bit of light on Dâm-Funk's
underheard formative years, focusing on a series of demos and hometapes he made between 1988 and 1992. That period was a
heady one for funk and R&B-- Michael Jackson and Prince running top-speed victory laps; Teddy Riley lighting new jack
swing's fuse; g-funk reintroducing bounce to the airwaves-- and the songs on this comp reveal an enthusiastic kid with a
Casio SK-1 trying to figure out what he could learn from it all. How you hear this music really depends on whether you
like late-80s R&B enough to hear a promising amateur's take on it: "Sexy Lady", "Raindrops", and "Attitude" in
particular have a certain Class of '89 vibe to them, though the best cut here, the hypnotic "When I'm With U I Think of
Her", has all the qualities of a long-lost lo-fi house classic.
