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.

The Olympians are an instrumental soul group led by *the founder*, featuring members of *other bands*. The group released their self-titled debut album on *a record label* in 2016.
With their unique blend of soul, funk, and jazz, The Olympians have captivated audiences around the world. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Menahan Street Band and The Budos Band, their music is a vibrant fusion of groovy rhythms and melodic hooks.
From the infectious energy of tracks like "The Fabulous Three" to the smooth vibes of "The Natural Yogurt Band," The Olympians' debut album showcases their incredible talent and versatility. With each member bringing their own distinct style to the table, their music is a testament to the power of collaboration.

Songs of valves and analogue love rendered by fuzzed up guitars. Simply stunning album and a Rough Trade Shops favourite. New Yorkers Mike Brandon, Luis Alfonso, Alex Q Amini and Zach Butler release their second album on the Daptones offshoot. The hard-touring foursomes second album was recorded at Daptone’s House Of Soul and produced by Wayne GordonGnarly churning bass echoes through a reverbs drenched sound haunted by spooky synths. Brittle guitars flail in fast and furious riffs. All messed up vocals holla halloo over the top. This is music for fucked up dance parties where you wake up the next day in a pile of empty cans with a sore head and no idea what happened but a determination to start a band that only plays Louie Louie.
