Renowned Soul and Funk band Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings released 100 Days,
100 Nights on their self-owned independent label, Daptone Records. Since the
2005 release of their Naturally LP, the band has continued to build a worldwide
following for their raw soulful recordings and blistering live performances.
Like the highly acclaimed Naturally LP before it, 100 Days, 100 Nights was
recorded in their self-built, self-operated, all analog recording studio in
Bushwick, Brooklyn and bares the unmistakable Daptone Soul Sound - highly in
demand among music fans and tastemakers alike.
In the 2007, producers such as Kanye West, Mark Ronson, Hank Shocklee, and Kenny
Dope have been among those who came knocking at Daptone's door seeking the
inimitable Dap-Kings sound. The Dap-Kings lend a tougher edge to their own
productions for such artists as Rhymefest, Lily Allen, Ghostface Killah and Amy
Winehouse. Meanwhile, Sharon Jones herself has passed the time between touring
lending her soulful voice to projects for Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, They Might
Be Giants and others.
