Nite-Funk - s/t Ep - 12" Vinyl

When combined, Nite Jewel and Dâm-Funk can arguably be considered a supergroup, as both artists have forged their own solid paths in the underbelly of the electronic music scene. It was only a matter of time before the pair joined forces on a real project: They've been teasing that union for close to a decade now through one decent collaboration and several loose associations. On their long-awaited collaborative release Nite-Funk, we get a glimpse of what these two can do when their creative forces unite on an EP, and it’s lightning in a bottle. <br/><br/> In September of 2015, Nite Jewel and Dâm-Funk dropped off what was presumed to be their Nite-Funk lead single “Can U Read Me?” The track was woozy and arguably less aggressive than their previous 2009 collaboration “Am I Gonna Make It,” which was more upbeat but underproduced. While “Can U Read Me?” didn’t make the EP (though it definitely should have), the song signified the direction the duo would be taking on Nite-Funk. At four tight tracks, Nite-Funk is merely an appetizer for a dinner we’ve been craving for years. Both Nite Jewel and Dâm-Funk bring their best selves to the project, channeling vibes of more recent duo successes like AlunaGeorge, only less syrupy and blippy and more soulful and funky.
