THUNDERCAT

Just announced to perform at this Coachella 2012!

Thundercat is Stephen Bruner. And he can bring the bass. His Flying Lotus-produced debut, The Golden Age of Apocalypse, brings beats, with jazzy fusion and spacey electronic vibes. It definitely exemplifies his relationship with 2011 pre-Grammy brunch performer, Flying Lotus. A longtime contributor to other’s albums, Bruner is accompanied by the likes of Erykah Badu, J*DaVeY, to pianist Austin Peralta, and his own Grammy-winning brother, drummer Ronald Bruner, Jr.

Bruner is a native of South LA and found his first instrument at age 4. As one writer put it, he’s “a mutant jazz cat.” Get excited with “Daylight”, which will give you new age synth, a soft whirl of bluesy piano, and warm bass.

Looking forward to seeing what he can do before all the Coachella-goers at our pre-Grammy event!

“Funk is not a fad… it’s a way of life” – DAM-FUNK

Dam-Funk (pronounced ‘Dame’, as in Damon) is known as Los Angeles’ “Ambassador of Boogie Funk”. Dãm has been cultivating a musical renaissance rooted in the early-’80s styles known as Boogie, Modern Soul and Electro-Funk. You might have seen Dam Funk at his weekly party called “Funkmosphere”. Here, guest DJ’s are only allowed to play original vinyl recordings of funk music from around the world.

Stones Throw Records’ like-minded honcho Peanut Butter Wolf had brought Dãm on to the team to glide into the future with his unique, synth and bass-driven vibe. We are hoping for Dām’s third ‘official full length’ Stones Throw Records release this April 2012.

Southern Cali Funk is about to be hit with the one and only, Dam-Funk’s essence. MojaMoja is very excited to have him as our featured DJ for this year’s brunch!
