"Toeachizown" compiles 5 digitally released mini-albums from Dam-Funk (Damon G. Riddick), an L.A. producer whose back-to-basics approach has breathed new life into the synth-funk genre. Despite clocking in at over two hours, this compilation sounds fresh from beginning to end, with a heavy dose of retro-synth sounds highlighted by Riddick's sometimes smooth, sometimes alien vocals. There are no samples here; everything is played or sung by Dam-Funk himself, and the payoff is an incredibly cohesive take on Prince and Stevie Wonder, with an electro-edge and sonic palette reminiscent of the best days of Metroplex.
