Label GB

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.

Dap Dippin' with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings is Jones's first full length recording. Though a few hundred copies were pressed to sell on the road, it would take several months and the birth of a new record label before Dap-Dippin would be commercially released on Daptone records. Not a series of unrelated songs, but a string of winners, plucked out by a bona fide soul revue backing up dynamite desco alumnus Sharon Jones. This album is as much about them as it is about ms Jones' and her ferocious vocals. Take one listen to their cover of Janet Jackson's What Have You Done for me Lately? and you'll know why.
