In the 70’s there was Parliment with George Clinton and Bootsy Collins.  Then the 80’s came and Prince redefined the term funk.  The 90’s was owned by the West Coast (ie. LBC, Compton, Watts, etc.) re-doing and dubbing it G-Funk.  So who owns the title for funk this decade? Easy, Dam-Funk.  If you haven’t picked up his debut album Toeachizown on Stones Throw Records you wanna get on it quick to enjoy the spaced out, bass heavy, synthed funk.  This is one definitely a show not to be missed when it goes down at Club Lambi.

Tickets are $14 and you can cop them at:

Off The Hook – 1021a Ste-Cat – (514) 499-1021

Michael Silver (aka CFCF) is one of those rare talents to whom pop sensibility seems to be second nature. The Montreal native has been making music in his bedroom since he was 12 years old, but it’s only over the past year or so that the rest of the world has been able to share in his pop experiments. Despite having just exited his teenage years, CFCF has a musical depth that constantly surprises his elders with influences ranging from Jellybean and Pete Rock to Todd Rundgren and Fleetwood Mac. This wide scope of interest in genre and pop structure and mature melodic instinct allow him to shift gears effortlessly from Italo to Disco to Balearic to Piano House and everything in between. His pop music can be sweetly melancholy or creepily disturbing, but it is always fundamentally Pop.

Having first caught tastemakers’ attention with his contest-winning remix of Crystal Castles’ ‘Air War‘ CFCF has gone on to produce official remixes for talents such as Sally Shapiro, The Presets, HEALTH, The Teenagers and Hearts Revolution, among many others. For the past couple of years he has honed his fluid, eclectic and always fun DJ sets at his weekly residency with Montreal’s Saturday mainstay, Dance Dance Dance. He’s also been busy with his own productions and the next couple of months will see releases through Acéphale and Paper Bag Records.

The show is happening this Friday at the Jupiter Room for the wallet breaking price of $5.  Check him out along with Trebek, Jay Watts III & Advaance.
