[MP3] Bob and Gene featuring The Inversions – I Can’t Stand These Lonely Nights

Soulful throwback-style, reggae music as only Daptone Records can do it from their House Of Soul Essentials series. More details follow:

Remember that Tropical delight of a B side, “These Lonely Nights”, from that dynamically dynamite Bob & Gene picture sleeve 45? Well, it’s BACK! This time with a little love from producer extraordinaire, part time Dap-King ringer, and full time Antibalas compatriot, Victor Axelrod (AKA Ticklah) – with a little help from his Kingston trio, The Inversions.

[MP3 + Music Video] Modulok – Golden Rule feat. HR (of Bad Brains)

From the homie, Modulok:

In the summer of 2012 I ventured to Washington D.C. to meet legendary Bad Brains front-man, HR, which was pretty high on my “things I need to do before I die” list. I slept on his floor, he cooked me dinner, and we got in the studio with a beat by Fresh Kils, Dave Stone (bassist for numerous DC area punk bands) Grant McGregor (of the Human Rights Band) on drums and Pablo Fiasco (a musical genius who used to play with The Pietasters, Iron Cross, and now runs something called Pablo Fiasco’s Reggae Sweatshop in Baltimore) on keys. Needless to say it was the experience of a lifetime. The result was a song called Golden Rule. And now there’s a video. Enjoy!

“Golden Rule” is from the album, You Look So Tragic which you can listen to in full on the DK facebook page HERE.
