Funk / Soul

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.

Charles Bradley was an American funk/soul/R&B singer, known as "The Screaming Eagle of Soul". Born on November 5th, 1948 in Gainesville, Florida, he captivated audiences with his powerful and soulful voice. Sadly, Charles Bradley passed away on September 23rd, 2017 in Brooklyn, New York after battling stomach cancer. His music continues to inspire and touch the hearts of fans around the world.

Rough Trade Essential

The debut album of its inaugural vocalist, Charles Bradley. Charles Bradley's voice has evolved from a lifetime of paying dues, having nomadically laboured for decades at various day jobs from Maine to Alaska - singing and performing in his spare time - before re-settling in his hometown Brooklyn and eventually finding a musical home at Dunham. In his distinctively rough-hewn timbre one hears the unmistakable voice of experience - each note and gruff inflection a reflection of his extended, sometimes rocky, personal path. It's only fitting that No Time for Dreaming's producer Brenneck (also a member of the Dap-Kings and the Budos Band) would recognise in Bradley a kindred musical spirit - a singer whose performances exude both raw power and poignant beauty.
