Down Too Long

Featured on the illustrious "Glydezone Radio with Dām-Funk" on Apple Music, Jay Bishop's sound has gained recognition on an international stage. Dām-Funk's stamp of approval speaks volumes about Bishop's ability to weave modern funk with a touch of the classics, creating a sonic experience that resonates across borders.

Jay Bishop has left his mark on the modern funk scene through collaborations with acclaimed labels such as The Sleepers Records and recently dropped a 7" vinyl single released on Outrun Records.

Drawing from the wellspring of boogie pioneers such as Kashif, Leon Silvers III, and the iconic duo Jam & Lewis, Bishop pays homage to the architects of groove. In the realm of modern funk, Bishop finds inspiration in the trailblazing sounds of XL Middleton, whose modern approach to funk has redefined the genre. Their influence echoes in every bass line and resonates in the soulful chords of his music.

The result is a musical tapestry that weaves together the best of both worlds — the classic boogie that laid the foundation and the modern funk that pushes the boundaries. Jay Bishop stands at the crossroads of these influences, carving his own path in the legacy of funk music.
