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.</

Black Friday 2022

Attention DJ's! It is our distinct pleasure to offer up You, Still b/w Tuesday, two bangers from The Frightnrs latest long-player, Always..this time on the convenient 45rpm, 7"; format. Expanding on the rocksteady rhythms that put The Frightnrs on the map, You, Still finds the group tapping into a later-period rub-a-dub style groove that's sure to make folks get close out on the dancefloor. Flip it over for the mid-tempo lament, Tuesday, whose hook- forward chorus and deep, rolling groove delivers a vibe that is simultaneously unique and undeniably classic.
