Computer Jay, J-1 and Dam-Funk stepped the game up with a “more funk than jazz” Super Session recorded live at the HVW8 Holiday party. This podcast demonstrates how the LA modern funk and boogie scene is starting to bubble and come together. This was the first time that these guys played as a group and it was a completely improvised session in front of a intimate crowd at the HVW8 Gallery. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
The new HVW8 x Dam-Funk shirt is now in available. The limited L.A.: Home of the Boogie and Modern-Funk, is available in Black and Burgundy (City). Dame was also cool to bless us with an exclusive track for this release.
The real life rags to riches story is coming together for Red. His 1st youtube video, recorded by Ty G behind the HVW8 Gallery, hit a massive chord with people, with already 65 000 views on YouTube, and over 350 000 views on worldstarhiphop in 4 days! Not bad for a guy hanging in the parking lot trying to get a break. Well things are looking up for Red.
Here is a new track and message from the G-Funk hobo, filmed at the HVW8 Gallery. More to come!
This year we have a special Live Installation going on at the Gallery with Computer Jay, Dam-Funk and J-1 laying down a live set, along with drinks and giveaways.
At the HVW8 Gallery this Sunday, Dec. 21st, 2 – 6pm.
