In case it wasn’t apparent from his moniker, Los Angeles-raised artist Damon “Dâm-Funk” Riddick (pronounced “dame funk”) takes funk very seriously, and can slay a project without having to even open his mouth. Come see him live to support one of the rare modern artists keeping funk alive and innovative, and also catch a performance from Nosaj Thing, (another LA native who’s produced tracks for Chance the Rapper and Kendrick Lamar), and a DJ set from Machinedrum, an electronic producer specializing in glitchy hip-hop and house music. by Jenni Moore
