S/D: Stones Throw Records

if you have the blue note cd he did, check out the untinted cd. its on blue note as well, and is basically all the originals madlib remade for his album. its cool to compare.

And the promo stuff for the Rels album is working the nu-jazz tag hard. But I like it a lot anyway. It's cool. Great beats.

Agreed. Or he at least should, y'know, actually practice and learn how to play keyboards before releasing any more of that material.

the man behind funkaho also did the best zine of all time "jank"

D: Yesterday's New Quintet, Breakestra, etc.

Also, I have Funky 16 Corners and it's kinda cool.

i have the Oh No album (Madlibs bro) whcih has some superb tracks as well as filler .. and then there is the return of Quasimoto soon. i never heard the unseen album .. but i have the new ep .. aint sure what i think just yet .. its a mixture of superb loops and the trademark helium vocals which i suspect after a few spins could really annoy ..

anyone jumped on the recent cd/DVD set .. worthy of hardearned ?

or a one spin only DVD ?

also .. my copy of Vinyl Weighs a ton is on Copastetik recordings - not Stonesthrow .. did Stones reissue it ?

so much. so little time..

doesn't percee p have a record coming out on stone's throw?

lol dj dee on this thread

Anyway yeah the Charizma and Peanut Butter Wolf album is terrific, and the description of it above is ridiculously dead-on. The first thing I thought of was Big L minus the new york thug posturing.

scott seward...why the revulsion towards "jazzy" hip-hop? I hate the words used as a description because they are woefully inadequate to describe sample based early 90s hip-hop and are rock critic terms. It seems to me like you might be reacting more to the critical diction rather than the actually music.

7 years later and i still listen to this album:

i think i still have that wildchild cd somewhere. and there is one declaime(dudley perkins?) song thats good.

lol, how we used to talk

theres like 30 threads from 2004 where you get butthurt by standard ilm dismissal of jazzrap

its still weird to me dudes call things 'jazz rap' that arent jazzmatazz or the first digable planets album.

You critizie our method of how we make records
you said it wasn't art, so now we're gonna rip you apart
Stop, check it out my man
This is the music of a hip-hop band
Jazz, well you can call it that
But this jazz retains a new format
Point, where you misjudged us
Speculated, created a fuss
You've made the same mistake politicians have
Talkin' all that jazz

thats cuz hes next-level

or maybe my sn wasn't intended to remind you what year it was

deej defends 2004 screenname in shocking rebuttal to am0n

haha i was like 'what AM i doing w/ myself' and then i wondered how u justify spending this time either

what was it intended to remind one of if not the year 2005

is this a good time to also ask about Al's "sitcom" and "hotelopera" screennames

so ahead of my time my parents haven't met yet

haha i was thinking about the logic of that line last night. why would his parents be meeting in the future? he'd have to be before his time

i've got nothing to say about stone's throw

'sitcom' refers to al's love for the mid 90s nbc show 'hope and gloria' & 'hotel opera' is some shitty indie rock album he likes

will your interview with Al appear in print somewhere?

look for it here

will i find the 'zing' missing from that post there as well?

ilm rap dudes a++++++++++ best posters on the board

al, did you like townies?

doesn't percee p have a record coming out on stone's throw?

it's out now ..... I like it. madlib keeps it pretty simple on the production, just basic james brown type loops, and keyboards that have that 8-bit squashed through an SP sound

new version of Put It On the Line kinda sucks though, the 12-inch is way better

the koushik stones throw podcast is pretty lush... i think he has an album out later this year, and i love his work: splicing late 80s hip-hop sounds to late 60s harmony-heavy psychedelia, like Madlib if all he was sampling from was countless different versions of the soundtrack to Hair.

I plan to listen to his album in the next hour. I got it in the post yesterday and thought, wtf is this doing on Stones Throw - that said the press release makes it sound like more of a Panda Bear type thing so I dunno.

Stones Throw are also doing an anthology thing of Arabian Prince which I'm trying to snag a promo of at the mo, it sounds really good

destroy a lot.

koushiks 1st album was pretty dope

also did the best madvillain rmx

haha, it isn't - just received a tweet saying she's not been on the label since 2006

Okay so I'm off by several years. Still looking forward to it. Ha!

amazing cover, good beats, passable retro battle verses ... but where's the dolemite?

there's barely any dolemite here except some sampled grunts.

lame

thread bump inspired me to throw on the 10 years comp. now I want weed.

What About You (In The World Today) by Co Real Artists was on my wedding playlist -- sort of my little sly jab at adulthood I guess

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/17367-alone-together/

has anyone heard this
i can imagine a karriem riggins beattape being just what i need but i don't know, & i feel like it's the kinda thing i'd have to live with rather than hear to suss out

it's as hit and miss and all over the place as you'd expect, enough amazing moments to make it a keeper though. k. riffins and tom tom are both awesome. lots of wonky moog lushness and a bob moog shoutout iirc

this is fun, http://www.stonesthrow.com/news/2012/06/stones-throw-podcast-74

The Stepkids album really stands up...love the P-funk vocal stylings on 'Brain Ninja'...the track they released late last year sounds really promising too...

a little late, but I love this video, and song:

Neat Steely Dan-esque track from forthcoming stepkids record

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/the-stepkids-ponder-lifes-gambles-in-the-lottery-song-premiere-20130611

I'm looking forward to the doc

alright listened to this stepkids track and ya

the stepkids album is glorious

Really looking forward to this...loved the first album...'Sweet Salvation' and 'The Lottery' are sooo good

diff between this and first album is like the diff between the b&w and colour scenes in wizard of oz

http://www.spin.com/articles/the-stepkids-troubadour-stones-throw-album-stream/ stepkids streamin here

memoirs of grey and the lottery are completely amazing but everything else is kinda so so on first listen

should I post this on the R&B thread?

It's a grower, maybe. It's one of my favourites of the year.

really like this stepkids album

really good, lilys vibe, other things as well, great listen anyway

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgiTkd0AQRQ

really glad that stonesthrow is sometimes just putting out whatever the fuck they feel like now, kind of like numero group putting out those unwound reissues or whatever

New Karriem Riggins - Headnod Suite is good stuff

The Gabriel Garzon Montano album is so great - like weird early 70s soul (Shuggie Otis, Fulfillingness-era Stevie) shot through with some Til I Die-era Brian Wilson melancholy

totally agree and was wondering if i had started a thread for this guy yet. apparently not.

cyclist "bones in motion" is full of spiffy melted C60 warehouse pacman toe tappers.
dj rels album super untouchable my most played of 2017

there's a new dj rels??

ps that's a bee gees rhythm machine just over gabriel's left shoulder in that video above

no new dj rels, i just picked it up late, blown away.
love the way the cyclist disc is equal parts stock aitken waterman & _:zoviet*france:_

Boleros Valses y Mas by Frankie Reyes is a nice, if weird record, basically boleros and waltzes played in MIDI-simplicity on an analog synth
