▶ DL Compilation: https://soulection.bandcamp.com/album/stussy-x-soulection-compilation

This compilation is inspired by our collaboration with one of the most culturally relevant and timeless brands, Stussy. 

We've taken dozens of tracks into consideration to curate the finest selection of progressive music from around the world to bring visibility to the future sound. Because there is so much talent out there, it was challenging to pull this compilation together to showcase a progression and cohesive flow that reflects both Stussy and Soulection cultures respectively. 

You will see familiar official Soulection artists on this compilation as well some new talent from forward-thinking and ambitious producers, emcees and vocalists that we're excited about and feel have a bright future.

Our partnership with the iconic brand includes a 'Soulection Tribe' limited t-shirt designed by Stussy as well as a physical in-store event and after party at our Sound Of Tomorrow Los Angeles monthly at The Echoplex on 9.5.14.

Special Thanks to all the artists: @zikomo @iamnoboodi @goldlink @orijanus @beatsbyesta @mr_carmack @samgellaitry @connor-pearson-1 @evilneedleprod @10A @takugotbeats @jayprincemusic @sangobeats @jdreidmusic @sivey @thisjaylouis @pyrmdplaza @mikos-da-gawd @jarreauvandal @starro @lelandaleemfakir @midnightabjo

Soul Pandemia - How Long

Get it in the Daptone Shop now!
http://daptonerecords.myshopify.com/products/i-can-be-cool-version

Producer extraordinaire Victor "Ticklah" Axelrod is back in the saddle, serving up two sides of sublime Island Soul - "I Can Be Cool" b/w "Version". As with his last single for Daptone, Axelrod effortlessly blends the ethereal vocals of our beloved boys from Buffalo, Bob & Gene, with the undeniable feel-good instrumentation of reggae stalwarts, The Inversions. 

The original Bob & Gene version of "I Can Be Cool" is a bonafide classic on the West Coast low-rider/sweet-soul scene and a staff favorite here at Daptone HQ. Its reggae-charged reboot that we so humbly offer up is sure to take you and the one you love to dizzying, uncharted, slow-dancing heights!

Bob & Gene "I Can Be Cool"

There are few producers in the world of underground bass and dubwise music working today with the breadth, depth, and genre-busting powers of Ognjen Zecevic, the man called Egoless.  From post-everything blasts of wonky crunch & bass, to the most sparkling, orthodox reggae, his mastery of analog and digital production, and his free-roaming imagination and intuition make every Egoless plate a special, surprising, and rewarding experience.  

We’ve been holding this tune for some time… we kept it back as we knew right away it was fully deserving of the #50 spot in our catalog, a release we’ve been steadily working towards for a full 5 years.  It exemplifies what we have tried to build with ZamZam - a body of forward thinking heart and soul music, message music, physical music, sound system music.

For "Non-Immigrant Song” the Croatian Gorgon linked with rising sing-jay star Tenor Youthman (virtually unknown outside of his native Russia when the tune was recorded).  Egoless says "It was one of those moments when I received a message and some tunes from a guy in Russia, expecting the worst English ever... Oh how I was wrong, this guy blew me away with the natural organic quality of his voice and we did this tune shortly afterward.”

The lyric was extremely relevant when we first heard it, but we could not have imagined how relevance would turn to urgency with the rise of anti-immigrant extremism, Brexit, Trumpism and full-blown fascist infections spreading in so many parts of the world.  A plea to all those who lose touch with our humanity when we treat anyone as ‘other’ - native-born as immigrants, immigrants as refugees, refugees as less than human.

As for the music… an effortlessly swinging, massive rub-a-dub riddim in classic formation.  Buttery bass and thick kick hitting hard in unison.  Sparse and spare. Strictly analog effects and flawless instrumentation.  We asked Egoless for a truly OUT dub version to back the vocal, and he obviously didn’t disappoint - absolute desk & tape madness in the tradition of the most dub-me-crazy Ariwa or Black Ark meltdowns.

We couldn’t be more thrilled with this record and this milestone arrived at through so much work and so much support from our worldwide community. 

****As a special gift to celebrate ZamZam 50 we are including a full color poster documenting the art of ZamZam 01-49 folded into every copy.****  

Mastered by Egoless himself, cut by Lewis at Stardelta.  

Released late February, 2017. Limited to 800 7" vinyl copies for the world. Design & 2-color screen print by Polygon Press.  No repress, no digital.

Deep of the Week - May 2017 - Rebirth Session

Producer Victor “Ticklah” Axelrod is back with another supple Reggae delight. After the success of The Inversions' last collaboration with Bob & Gene, Axelrod once again takes a seat in the Producer’s chair, this time with a tune a little deeper in the catalogue. Originally tweezed from the beautiful MO DO tape boondoggle, back in ‘05 - ‘06, this single has been a long-time favorite of the Daptone family.

One night in 1971, frustrated by their lack of the success, Bobby Nunn and Gene Coplin sat in the basement of 50 Orange Street and put together a record expressing said frustration. Equipped with only a guitar, bass, and piano - no drums (though you don’t even notice) - the two crafted an immaculate slice of Soul, aptly titled “It’s Not What You Know (It’s Who You Know)”. Fast forward 46 years, and now accompanied by the rocksteady rhythms of The Inversions - the vocal stylings and poignant lyrics are reborn, sounding as fresh today as it did when it was crafted down in that magical basement. The VERSION flip is a delay laden masterpiece produced and arranged by Axelrod. A must for fans of Dub and Reggae alike. A truly gorgeous record!

Deep of the Week - January 2018

Earliest musical influence:
JK: Listening to Hall & Oates “Maneater” in the back seat of my mom’s car.

Ideal setting to listen to this?
JK: Rooftop. Poolside. Deserted beach.

File it next to?
JK: Right between a disco ball and a coconut.

For Record Store Day 2018 Brooklyn based RNT ushers in the springtime sunshine with Férias ’77 Reworks, a collection of Brazilian revisions from label co-head JKriv. A longtime lover of Brazilian sounds, this 8 song double 12” compiles reworks he created over nearly a decade, drawing from some of his most revered and respected sources. From the upfront boogie of 'Relaxa', to the stomping 'Babaluae', the tropical funk of 'Rainha do Mar', the downtempo sway of 'Era Um Era', to the almost balearic-leaning 'Dotô' and more, this mini-album contains a wide swath of Brasilian styles and flavours. With suitably vibrant artwork on the sleeve, a free download card, and a cheeky sticker pack included, this one is an absolute RSD essential!

Victor "Ticklah" Axelrod presents: Charles Bradley featuring The Inversions - "Whatcha Doing (To Me)" b/w "Strike Three"
http://dapt.one/1115

Originally a stand-out album track from Charles Bradley's “Changes” long player - then titled "You Think I Don't Know (But I Know)" - Axelrod & Co. artfully transform the Soul groover into an early '70s reggae stroller, with Charles' signature plaintive vocals providing a beautiful juxtaposition to the lighthearted bounce of the Inversion's Island beat. Thankfully CB was able to hear this version before he passed, to which he said "Ooooooo! I LOVE IT!" We think you will too!
