Fu Chronicles (with download) ... LP 
Daptone, 2020. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Antibalas take a page from the Wu-Tang book, and add a little kung fu action to their music – with results that maybe make this set one of their freshest in years! All the core energy of the group is very firmly in place – that razor-sharp instrumentation that's made these guys one of ... (Global Grooves) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Where The Gods Are At Peace ... LP Daptone, 2017. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Maybe the most searing album we've ever heard from Antibalas – a set that's completely on fire from the very first note, both musically and politically – and which burns with an intensity that seems to blow away all their previous music!

Black Velvet ... LP Dunham/Daptone, 2016. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The great Charles Bradley left this planet all too soon – and although we've got this final album of music to enjoy, it's only a partial consolation for Bradley's early departure! The set's maybe a bit like some of the albums of Otis Redding material that were issued after his passing – ... (Deep Funk) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Changes (with download) ... LP Dunham/Daptone, 2016. New Copy ... Out Of Stock

No Time For Dreaming (plus download) ... LP Dunham/Daptone, 2011. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Gritty, powerful raw soul from Charles Bradley – the full length debut from the 62-year-old Brooklyn singer – backed perfectly by The Menahan Street Band!

Budos Band —
Budos Band ... LP Daptone, 2005. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A brilliant mix of Afro and deep funk styles – the kind of grooves you'd get if Fela Kuti hung out with The Meters in the late 60s! Budos Band recall the genius of 90s deep funk combo The Daktaris – and have a similar love of older African rhythms touched by a newer indie funk sound ...

Long In The Tooth ... CD Daptone, 2020. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Budos Band may be long in the tooth – 15 years since their first record (!) – but they still sound pretty darn funky and fresh to our ears, and maybe even return here to some of the rawer modes of their first few records! The approach is simple, but fantastic – heavy drums on the ... (Deep Funk) read more CD

V ... LP Daptone, 2019. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
It's hard to believe that the Budos Band have been around long enough to give us five full albums – but along the way, they've also picked up plenty of power to add to their sound! This time around, the guitars seem even sharper than ever – full and fuzzy, and maybe even touched with ... (Deep Funk) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Daptone, 2019. New Copy ... $18.99 19.99
You might know Cochemea Gastelum from his work in The Dap-Kings over the years – but this time around, the saxophonist is very much his own man – blowing a version of his instruments that often seems electrified, ala classic Varitone from the late 60s – used in these really new ...

Cochemea —
Vol II – Baca Sewa ... CD Daptone, 2021. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
We loved Cochemea the first time around, but this second solo album is even better – a set that has the reedman really finding his own unique sound away from The Dap Kings – often blowing on an electrified saxophone, but in ways that are very different than late 60s experiments in that ...

Soul Explosion ... LP Desco/Daptone, 1998. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock

A stunner – the first full album by deep funk singer Sharon Jones, and an instant soul masterpiece!

There's a nice raw guitar line at the start of this one – before the Dap Kings come into the mix and send the tune into funky chugging bliss – then Sharon Jones steps into the spotlight, blows us away with her vocals, and reminds us why she's always the main attraction!
