DaM-FunK brings his Architecture Trilogy on Saft to a close with a fantastic final EP. The series started in 2016, included the second volume in 2018, and now wraps up with a double 12" packed with heat from the legendary Californian beatmaker.DaM-FunK has been in a class of one since first emerging in 2008. He's a definitive Stones Throw Records artist, musician and vocalist, boss of GlydeZone Recordings, a sometime Snoop Dogg collaborator and prolific producer. What he doesn't know about boogie, g-funk and synth-pop isn't worth knowing, and this final Architecture EP is another doozy.The gorgeous 'Grow' immediately sinks you into a hazy house vibe. Lo-fi beats and farsighted chords melt your heart and lock you in a gentle groove. 'Night Kruise' lays down a classic DaM-FunK bassline then builds it up with melancholic keys and lowslung funk that is simply irresistible, then 'Think' ups the pace with a punchy but still deep house groove, heat-damaged chords and a clipped bass phrase that makes you move.The seductive sounds continue through the balmy 'Feel' in which you can almost see palm trees and burnt orange Cali skies as the low riding groove skates along in lovably low key fashion. 'Sun Gospel' is a perfectly rough edge MPC workout with busy keys, scruffy kicks and bright boogie all jostling for your attention, and 'Shine' closes with a prickly boom-bap, knotted bassline and epic prog-guitar riffs that ring out into a latenight sky.Architecture III is another heart aching, humid and feel-good house EP from the one and only DaM-FunK.

a propos: 
The 12" contains four tracks that are carefully crafted to co-exist on the same record. 'In The City' is a drum oriented breeder with a constantly evolving bass line, that supports the cheerful and breezy melodies. 'Best Weekend' is dripping with lush synthesizer tones and meaty drums.DaM-Funk has left his LA home for another DJ tour across the European continent. What better way to celebrate this than to release a follow-up record to the infamous Architecture release from 2016. Architecture II is an up-tempo, dreamlike journey through the sonic palette of the Los Angeles based producer. The 12" contains four tracks that are carefully crafted to co-exist on the same record. 'In The City' is a drum oriented breeder with a constantly evolving bass line, that supports the cheerful and breezy melodies. 'Best Weekend' is dripping with lush synthesizer tones and meaty drums. DaM-Funk knows how to set a hazy atmosphere, the conflicting tones of the sophomore effort are impressive. 'Best Weekend' is a must hear for lovers of the DF repertoire. The B-side is opening up with the warm sounds of 'Bounce'. The artist's signature basslines thump away whilst a breezy chord and some exceptional FX work help to achieve a sense of lightness. 'Don't Give Up' is a work of challenging Piano riffs and splashy synthesizers that evolve through and sometimes come together in an abundance of modulation and joy.

A house 12" from Los Angeles' undisputed master of synth-boogie, Dam Funk.Of course, this isn't house in the traditional sense, and all three tracks still feature the Stones Throw regular's usual fluid synth lines, rich chords and bubbly synth basslines.
