    In today's installment of the Daptone remix series, we've got short-lived Afrobeat group the Daktaris. The band's classic grooves served as a precursor to New York Afro-Latin kingpins Antibalas. The smoothed-out funk gem 'Eltsuhg Ibal Lasiti' received a dub spin from experimental reggae master Mad Professor.

    Keep reading for an exclusive Q&A for Mad Professor, and to download the remix and listen to it in its original form.

    Exclusive Q&A from Mad Professor


    What was the most exciting element of working with the Daptone sound?

    The music sounds like it is from two decades ago!

    If you had to pick one 45 out of the Daptone vault, which one would it be and why?

    I would pick the track we worked on because it had a natural reggae connection

    What do you think sets Daptone apart from many other indie labels?

    It's different ... fresh!
