On a Sunday afternoon, Dam-Funk and Taz Arnold linked up at HVW8 Gallery for an impromptu jam session. Both revolutionary in their own right, the video seen here includes both cuts from the performance as well as Dam and Taz talking shop about the changing Los Angeles landscape. The performances included cameos from Thunder Cat, Major, Terrace Martin and Krondon as well. A full podcast can be downloaded from the HVW8 site.

As a tribute to Dam-Funk’s upcoming tour of Japan and Asia, Stussy and Stones Throw join forces for a commemerative t-shirt and 7″ vinyl. The two different t-shirt mock-ups both share the tour dates on the back in Stussy’s iconic typography. The items will be available on tour, at Stussy Chapter stores and at Stonesthrow.com.
