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.

The Frightnrs are a talented group of musicians known for their unique blend of reggae and soul music. Led by the captivating vocals of *Dan Klein*, their sound is characterized by the smooth melodies of *Chuck Patel* on organ and piano, the rhythmic beats provided by *Rich Terrana* on drums, and the deep bass lines from *Preet*. Adding to this dynamic mix is the skillful guitar work of *Norihiro Kikuta* and the vibrant percussion played by *Mike Torres*. With influences ranging from Jackie Mittoo to Augustus Pablo, The Frightnrs have created a distinct sound that pays homage to classic reggae while adding their own modern twist.

Formed in New York City, The Frightnrs have quickly gained recognition for their powerful live performances and infectious energy. Their music draws inspiration from legendary artists such as Derrick Harriott, Phyllis Dillon, and Bob Andy. With each member bringing their own unique talents to the table, The Frightnrs create a sonic experience that is both nostalgic and fresh.

Having shared stages with notable acts like Hollie Cook and Ken Boothe, The Frightnrs continue to captivate audiences with their soulful sound. Their songs evoke emotions through heartfelt lyrics delivered with passion by Dan Klein's soulful voice. Whether performing intimate acoustic sets or high-energy shows, The Frightnrs never fail to leave a lasting impression on their listeners.</

Back In Stock

The Frightnrs escort Daptone into the world of long-playing reggae with both the sweetest and the roughest record of the decade. This record will long be treasured by lovers of reggae, lovers of soul and lovers of love... Crafted under the meticulous eye of black-belt reggae mastermind / producer Victor Axelrod (AKA Ticklah), 'Nothing More to Say' is a rocksteady masterpiece the likes of which has not reared it's head since the golden era of Studio One. However, you'll find no imitation here - none of the faux-jamaican cliches of lesser reggae bands. Like all things Daptone, this record is above all soulful and honest. With the exception of two soul covers (both from the Daptone catalog: Bob and Gene's 'Gotta Find a Way' and Saun and Starr's 'Gonna Make Time',) the record is populated by original compositions of the highest order. They are simply great songs, and though their treatment here is masterful, each one of them has the melodic and lyrical substance to hold it's own in any genre. 'Till Then' invokes the coquettish hyper-rhymes of top- form Smokey Robinson, while 'Hey Brother' sounds like it fell off the desk of Gamble and Huff, and 'Purple' defies any comparison at all. From the first cracking snares of 'All My Tears' through the final pulsing echoes of 'Dispute,' the murderous rhythms of Rich Terrana (drums,) and brothers Preet and Chuck Patel (bass and piano, respectively) can be heard chunking mercilessly towards oblivion as Dan Klein pours his endearing poetry over the top like some otherworldy falsetto potion.
