Description

Before Daptone, there was Desco. Before Desco, there were The Poets of Rhythm. Back in the 90s, a couple of German kids unearthed a raw sound from our own backyard that we hadnt even remembered burying. They drew from the sound of old funk records, not as a mold, but as inspiration, understanding that sound would always be an origin of their music, but unlike many soul revivalists to follow, they never settled for it as a destination. As homage to the undeniably funky frontrunners of the modern soul movement, we are proud to present the definitive collection of Poets tunes, respectfully curated by Daptone staff and the band themselves. It's been twenty years since their first recording session, and this anthology celebrates their decade-long journey from the raw exuberant rebellion of 'Funky Train', to the moody hypnotic explorations of Discern/Define, and for the first time EVER on wax, the eerie, relaxed groover 'Path of Life' - a journey that truly earns them their name: The Poets of Rhythm.
