Dam-Funk - Destination:Known / Paradise

Damon G Riddick, better known as Dam-Funk, returns to his own Glyedezone Recordings with a two-track EP. ‘Destination: Known’ opens with simple lolloping, mid-paced drums and a warm, gentle keys riff, then rolls along lazily in such fashion until around the seven-minute mark, after which things get increasingly abstract as the track wanders off into near-ambient territory. The standout for this reviewer though is ‘Paradise’, a slice of synth-y instrumental funk/jazz-funk with a distinctly early 80s feel: it’s still more ‘chill out’ than ‘freak out!’ but it’ll get toes tapping all the same, whereas ‘Destination: Known’ is more one for the flotation tank massive.
