Funky DL - NEON (2021)

Known for his undeniable pedigree as a Hip-Hop Artist/Producer, Funky DL turns his creativity towards Electronic, Dance and House Music with a new album entitled "Neon".

The album's title was inspired by DL's progression along his creative journey, as he intends his fan-base and followers to hear him in a new (neo) light (neon).

Stepping away from sampling old vinyl, Funky DL (in solitude) composed this 12-track audio voyage with eclectic influences of Chicago and L.A. House, Cosmic Funk, French Electro, Soul and Futuristic soundscapes, all riffing over solid dance-floor percussion.

During the first seven tracks, "Neon" is electrifying and upbeat, ushering in the radiant sound of the summer, thereon drifting into an aura, perfect for the completely chilled and serene ambience of a midsummer night’s lounge.

"I didn't set out to make any specific style of dance music, I just started creating different vibes to explore my production capabilities, but only by way of making music that I truly enjoy listening to. My ability to be multi-dimensional and create music in a diversity of genres has always been present, but laid somewhat dormant, however this is the time to bring it alive".

“Keeping with the same vigor of musicianship I demonstrate with my Hip-Hop, I want true multiple-genre music lovers to be able to appreciate the vibe of "Neon".

"Neon" is an album that gets straight to the point. The listener’s pleasure is the most vital intention by way of the addictive and magical melodies and harmonics, but without extremely tiresome intros and meddlesome breakdowns to disrupt the momentum. The natural impulse is to want to move when this set plays. It's a tantalizing listen and a must for all!
