Daptone Records

Daptone Records

Armed with recipes culled from a former life as Desco Records, Daptone earnestly strive to serve only the finest music analog tape can offer.

Musician-owned and run, the Brooklyn-based family of soul-drenched talent channels the spirits of bygone powerhouses like Stax and Motown into gilded moments of movement and joy, be they delivered by the likes of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Charles Bradley and The Menahan Street Band, The Budos Band, The Sugarman 3 and Antibalas. This is music to be savoured and felt, again and again.

Hand-made and heart-stirred, our records are carefully recorded and mixed by the illustrious Bosco Mann to ensure only the hardest, truest sound found this side of the Atlantic.
