Daptone Records is a Brooklyn-based independent label founded in 2001. It is one of the key forces behind the modern soul and funk revival. The label is known for its analog recording approach and its own House of Soul studio.
Daptone gained international recognition through artists like Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Charles Bradley, and The Budos Band. Its sound is rooted in the warmth and groove of 1960s and 1970s soul. Live musicianship and tight band chemistry are central to every release.
Today, Daptone stands as a benchmark for contemporary soul. The label combines vintage aesthetics with modern energy and remains one of the most influential independent imprints in its field.
