Run by a collective of soul-obsessed producers and musicians, the Brooklyn-based independent Daptone Recordsl launched the careers of artists such as Amy Winehouse, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Charles Bradley, and Bruno Mars. Daptone’s records who paid homage but never lip service to the original artists, proving that soul is still culturally relevant, and just as exciting as ever.
Author Jessica Lipsky joins us to chronicle the label’s history, players, and sounds while dissecting the scene’s cultural underpinnings, which continue to reverberate in pop music. She takes us into the dingy clubs where soul crazed DJs packed the dancefloor, to just uptown where some of the genre’s heaviest musicians jumpstarted the renaissance in a basement studio, and all the way to the White House.
