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!

Behold! The dishy new platter from England's finest export since its eponymous Muffin, James Hunter and his cheeky band-o-blokes, the James Hunter Six, is here. Side A features the title track of his brand new SMASH long player, “(Baby) Hold On” - a classic shuffler that delivers an honest blast of raw R&B the way it's meant to be done. Flip the little bugger over and rejoice to a classic Hunter cut that, much to the chagrin of low-rider and rocksteady DJs alike, has eluded the 45 format. TILL NOW!

Rerecorded during the sessions for Hold On!, “Carina” now possesses a more relaxed, classic rocksteady feel. Coupled with gorgeously simple background vocals and James' pleading lead - this tune now boasts a truly dizzying level of emotional intelligence. If you don't like this song, you're an emotionally bankrupt soul, deaf to beautiful things.

Jam Band 80 - Jammin' (Worldwide Premiere)

Platinum-winning producer (with Jem in 2004), bandmates with Tupac at High School and graphic designer for Mos Def artwork, Ge-ology is a man with talent and experience in abundance. In recent years, he's also been seeing his career in dance music flourish, as a producer signed to Theo Parrish's Sound Signature, and a DJ whose sets appreciate heritage, the need to take risks and, above all, make people dance. His 30 minute mix for samples just that, taken from a two hour session in the Brownswood basement, which will be aired in full on Worldwide FM, with an interview as well.

Wild Child - Bullets (Ra Ra Riot remix)

Bay Area born and raised, Dave Aju began his life in music rooted in jazz, well versed on the drums and piano. He's taken this musicality forward into electronic production and the more soulful edge of deep house and his 30 minutes for Worldwide follows a similar meandering journey.
