DāM-FunK has announced a new album called Above the Fray, sharing the title track as its first offering. The record arrives July 30 via Glydezone. Check out “Above the Fray” below.

Of the new project’s title, DāM-FunK said: “In 2015 I did an album called Invite the Light.… I invited the light back then which brought me above the fray. I’ve been learning that I want to keep the narrative positive and uplifting, I want to humbly interject into the game cats like myself who on any given day can listen to ‘Black Superman’ by Above the Law and  at the same time listen to Larry Heard, Prince, Happy the Man, Barry White, or Prefab Sprout.”

In April, DāM-FunK released Architecture III, the final installment in his years-long genre study of house music.
