Daptone

Daptone is a label that specializes in hard funk, soul, and afrobeat music by current artists. It was formed by musicians and producers from the now defunct 1990s funk revival pioneer label Desco Records. The label is run by Gabriel Roth (also known as Bosco Mann) and Neal Sugarman. Daptone is home to renowned artists such as Sharon Jones, The Dap-Kings, Lee Fields, Sugarman 3, Antibalas, The Mighty Imperials, and others.

Most of Daptone's seven inch singles feature a generic blue record label. However, all singles are produced in limited quantities of 1000 - 2000 copies. In some cases where titles are highly sought after and sell out quickly, a second press run with a red colored label may be done.

Mikey Post oversees Direct Sales & Distribution at Daptone and explains that their releases have been continuously available since February 2019. While records released prior to 2009 did not include barcodes initially, they still use the original 'Mother' plates for pressing new copies today. There may be slight variations in the color of labels over the years due to printing on an offset machine with stock paper.

Ladies and Gentleman, we're about to take a flight on an airline called L-O-V-E. Don't need no ticket, just get on board. Naomi Shelton is our faithful Captain, and the Gospel Queens our in-flight crew, ready to serve you soulfully to your highest elevation. The A-Side, 'Sinner' showcases Naomi's gritty vocals, coupled with the lush harmonies of the Queens creating a call and response melody of celestial proportions - and to top it off all of the aforementioned perfection is set to a raw groove provided by Brother Cliff Driver and his Band O,Plenty. On the flip is an adaptation of O.V. Wright's BackBeat classic, 'Everybody Knows (The River Song)'. Naomi Shelton and The Gospel Queens plucks this tune from Texas and plants it firmly in the Caribbean, with a feel good rhumba and a chorus strong enough to crack coconuts. Much more than a single, it's a sneak peek into their forthcoming 'Cold World' Lp, which promises to be an essential part of your personal soundtrack this summer.
