Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto... go dance here on Friday

OTTAWA:
LA's Stones Throw recording artist & boogie-funk master Dâm-Funk will be at the Timekode monthly, alongside fellow Los Angeles music selector TY-G. The Timekode fam (Adam White, Zattar, Eric Roberts) has been consistent in throwing some of Ottawa's best dance parties. Heavily soul, funk, disco, and breaks rooted, the sweatbox of a party is probably the only night in town where you'll find a 35yr old man grooving and snapping his fingers (with eyes closed) in the middle of a heated break dance circle. The jams take place on the 2nd floor of an African restaurant in Chinatown - so you know people travel for that feel-good music.

Here is a Dâm-Funk guest appearance on U-Tern's radio show:
