• If You Ask Me To: Victor Axelrod Productions for Daptone Records is a compilation album released in September 2023. It gathers tracks produced by Axelrod between 2007 and 2023, highlighting his work with artists such as Sugar Minott, Bob & Gene, Charles Bradley, The Frightnrs, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, and Binky Griptite. Known for his production work under the alias Ticklah, this is the first LP released on Daptone under his given name. The collection showcases Axelrods deep involvement in shaping the labels sound over the years.

  Musically, the album spans reggae, rocksteady, and soul, with Axelrod bringing vintage warmth, steady grooves, and soulful arrangements to both well-known and overlooked tracks. The record captures his ability to bridge genres while keeping the performances rooted in authenticity, balancing careful production with the raw emotion of the singers he works with. It serves as both a retrospective and a celebration of Axelrods role in Daptones history.
