Best Boogie Funk: Dam-Funk at Funkmosphere

Stones Throw’s master teacher of heavy grooves, Dam-Funk, spins nothing but deep cuts of boogie funk during Funkmosphere, vinyl Monday nights at Carbon, near Culver City. Dam-Funk takes you beyond the jump-off from disco, funk and roller-skating jams into an outer zone known only as Space Funk. Don’t be embarrassed if you don’t recognize any songs, Dam-Funk’s mission is to expand your horizons, twist your latitudes, and sound-bomb you with love. Spinning in a space about the size of your living room, he might make you forget you’re not on a multicultural spaceship headed directly to the Boogie Funk planet.

 
Monday nights at Carbon, 9300 Venice Blvd., L.A., (310) 558-9302 or www.carbonla.com.
