DAPTONE RECORDS SIGNS EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH REDEYE DISTRIBUTION

New Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings Album Due October 2nd

Dear fellow funk enthusiasts and soul-searchers everywhere, Daptone Records through
a new arrangement with World's Fair Label Group has entered into an exclusive U.S. physical distribution deal with Redeye Distribution. The first release through the new deal is the The Budos Band release, The Budos Band II on August 7th followed by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, 100 Days, 100 Nights on Oct 2nd.

The little indie label that could, would and certainly should--continues to bring you the tastiest, most delectable nuggets of Soul, Funk, Gospel and Afrobeat to be found. Musician-owned and run, the Brooklyn-based family of soul-drenched talent channels the spirits of bygone powerhouses like Stax and Motown into gilded moments of movement and joy, be they delivered by the likes of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Lee Fields, Charles Bradley, Binky Griptite, the Budos Band, Naomi Davis or the Sugarman 3.

We feel that being involved with another like-minded, truly independent company, will allow Daptone the freedom to follow its original vision of delivering uncompromised quality and Soul Excitement with every release, says Neal Sugerman of Daptone Records / Dap Kings

We are extremely excited about working with Daptone and World's Fair on this new arrangement. Daptone has a great vision and overall vibe for incredible music and along with World's Fair, we look forward to helping get this special label all the visibility in the marketplace that it deserves, echoes Redeye President Glenn Dicker.
