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

i'm guessing he's on Stones Throw cause he knows Peanut Butter Wolf.
that Percee P album has some great moments, but it's a lil too much to take all in one sitting. Which is how I expected a Percee album to be.

i really like a couple Koushik tracks, didn't notice he did a podcast. it's of his songs?

xposts

his remixes of hip-hop tracks... is very good.

mancap - rocketscience are promoing the arabian prince, it is awes, we were playing it incessantly in plan b offices last week. who is doing koushik???

In House Press. They've sent it almost three months early. Weird.

Based on the first few tracks of this album I could see this blowing up by the end of the year

i shall seek it out - i can totally see koushik crossing over; i love his stuff.

does anybody have the stones throw 2005 sampler? anyone know who the nameless (presumably 70s/80s) funk artist who mumbles drunkenly for ages after the 'strange games' remix is? it's like some funk blooper or something, but i have, of occasion, become obsessed with this weird vignette.

koushik's album is the best thing stonesthrow released there I said it

I typed it

the beat on his america's most blunted remix is pretty great too

tynan liked koushik

electrosoul?

in all seriousness it was kind of surprising to me that the first album didn't blow up cuz of all the mbv shit it's mired in, but now that the dude has a respectable and semi-overlooked album out, this new one will probably be huge

koushik's album is the best thing stonesthrow released there I said it

Koushik's prior disc(s) or his forthcoming disc?

the one which was a collection of eps there I still said it

since you nerds are jocking koushik can i recommend this

there is a lot of bad "post-graffiti" coffeshop art in the liners (and some OK pieces too) but the music is *almost* (not quite) uniformly great.

u like flying lotus moonship journey to baja?

i bought the album on warp when it came out and listened to it nonstop for like three days, but then i put it away and haven't dug it out again. so yes, i do, but i'm not flying lotus superfan or anything like that. i think maybe because i already do listen to a lot of straight-up electronic music - and i got into rap etc. via electronic music - i'm not as committed to the jay dee sound as i might be otherwise. but i really do like madlib's productions a whole lot (to the point where i am buying his "mind fusion" mixtapes and stuff like dudley perkins) and i like flying lotus best when he's sort of straddling the two sounds.

rather than his earlier plug research stuff where he just sounds like, i dunno, push button objects or something.

i shouldn't say that, this is still the jam, particularly "maercs", "pboory" and "chewbacca on crack"

^^^ lol at lengthy discussion of me on this thread a year ago that I never saw.

also, don't remember if I ever watched an episode of Townies!

dont get anything by yesterdays new quintet. and dont get sucked into the 'its produced by madlib so it must be great' vortex either.

yeah I understand this. I don't even listen to that much electronic music, and I like his shit when I hear it, but I rarely ever feel the need to listen to it when I have to make a choice. I used to buy everything with madlib's name on it no matter what and stopped about last year. Daedelus is the one guy out of the three who I still want to listen to a lot.

I WISH I READ THAT POST BEFORE I LISTENED TO MADLIB'S STEVIE WONDER TRIBUTES

ha, i like his stevie wonder tributes! one of them is on the playlist for my wedding ("golden lady").

I thought most of the ones on the album were pretty zzz but it's been a while since I heard it. The stevie wonder tribute I like the most is the beat for Great Day. Also, my favorite color is blue.

is there any reason to recommend this "james pants" thing?

yes, the james pants lp is solid ... different but not too quirky, old school sounding yet fresh, plays with different genres yet flows really well ... a great record. his rhythm trax stuff is good too. it's basically him coming up with a follow-up to the original jive rhythm trax series.

The new electro-funk direction Stones Throw is taking is sounding good to my ears ... James Pants, Dam Funk, the Arabian Prince comp ... and hopefully more to come in that vein.

I'm co-producing the next rhythm trax. yes!

i can totally see koushik crossing over; i love his stuff.

Still waiting for this to happen, I dunno what the holdup is - biggest amount of press I've seen so far was in the Graun and was by, er, Stevie

I kind of like Yesterdays New Quintet. It's the kind of thing I never, ever put on but when it comes up on shuffle I always prick up my ears.

POLL - DEATHROW VS STONESTHROW

dam funk is the shit. maybe should have his own thread???

i dig this guy a ton. wish this is what that last motown inspired Raphael Saadiq album sounded like. dam is in the vid.

I just discovered Franklin Thompson. I have been totally digging his Planet Jumpers track. So fucking A W E S O M E.

AND DINOSAUR! Amazing shit.

really enjoying mayer hawthorne.

and how good does their new psych comp "forge your own chains" look?

the song "get your money right" by strong arm steady was a recent st podcast and is a really wonderful song. there was a dam-funk gospel funk podcast back in july, that was hot too.

"and how good does their new psych comp "forge your own chains" look?"

I ordered it last week. The DR Hooker, Top Drawer and Baby Grandmothers songs are ace, I bet the rest is even better.

the two tracks I've heard from the new Strong Arm Steady are AWESOME. pretty excited for that record

ha I see I said something a week ago about that. new one came in last night as a podcast. fuckin' awesome stuff imo

listening to the damfunk album now...very weird, it's got a lot of bleedthrough with 80s cassette fetishist types like James Ferraro imo but the sounds are clear not muddied - kinda love it, it seems really dense/rich in some way
