Amy Winehouse may still be taking some time off, but the Dap-Kings — who helped craft the modern soul sound of her last album, Back to Black — have kept hard at work in their Daptone Records studios in Brooklyn, where they write and play for a variety of other artists. Unfortunately, that work (including an upcoming session with Rod Stewart) may have to be put on hold because the studios were broken into over the weekend.
