Thank you one last time for this beautiful walk through Dilla’s mind.  I’d lost an appreciation for his work, as my tastes in music changed through the years - this was the re-introduction I needed.  Beautifully crafted, thorough, thoughtful, considered and impeccably mixed.  🫡🙏 I salute . TURN IT UP!!!

love songs for a friend's wedding.

Stones Throw Records was founded in 1996 by DJ/Producer Chris Manak aka Peanut Butter Wolf as a means of releasing his now-classic debut album with MC Charizma who tragically was shot dead in a mugging in 1993.

Stones Throw is one of the few labels which I am constantly buying since I started to collect vinyl. As a result I got many special moments connected to nearly every Stones Throw record I own. The first record (My vinyl weighs a ton LP) was introduced to me by the true 182nd underground legend DJ Whoever (Whutupdoe!) about 15 years ago, the latest (Madlib Soundtrack for Our vinyl weighs a ton) is just two weeks in my bag; cool co-incidence with the titles by the way.

The idea for this personal Stones Throw best of mix series grew after watching the great documentary "Our vinyl weighs a ton" at Betalounge Hamburg in a room full of Stones Throw afficionados some months ago (the idea apparently grew slowly). The documentary is a must watch if you share even the smallest interest for the label! 

The first part brings the Rap side of the label into focus with Peanut Butter Wolf, Madlib, Dilla, Declaime and side projects like Lootpack, Quasimoto, Jaylib or Madvillian.

A second part will come up with a closer view to those records which mainly came out after Dillas death in 2006. With that tragic event Stones Throw fell into a kind of identity crisis with e.g. Madlib refusing to do any more Rap records (glad he changed his opinion - the latest collaboration with Freddie Gibbs is on heavy rotation since months). The label took a kind of musical turnaround in their artist rooster with artists like Dam Funk, James Pants, Boardwalk, Gary Davis and several other underground artists adding several musical dimensions which made the label even more interesting for me.

But before that take your time to enjoy this mixtape of personal favorites from my vaults!

Out of the Darkness: The Best of Organized Noize

Threw together a new one for you. 25 of my favourite soul tracks handpicked from my soul collection. 24 of them are 45's, and one of them are from a LP.

Fredfades - Touchdown Soul #2 (2012)

Fusion Batches

An all vinyl mix of music sampled by two of the greatest all time producers DJ Premier & RZA. 
You probably tuned into the online sound clash a few nights ago where these two titans went beat for beat in live showdown. In the end, it was hard to pick a winner. Either way, some great music was played and we all got to go back to our younger days for 3 hours while they dueled it out.  
Here's a bunch of my favorites by them. Some obvious and some a little harder to spot. This barely scratches the surface of what they've touched but, gives a small representation of Preemo & The Abbot's work. Enjoy, RS

Good News Daily #23(Preemo vs RZA)

SETLIST:

01) Go Back To The Thing / Let Me Have It All (Sly & The Family Stone)
02) Cosmic Slop (Funkadelic)
03) Woman’s Gotta Have It (Bobby Womack)
04) The Line
05) You Caught Me Smilin’ / Africa Talks To You “The Asphalt Jungle” (Sly & The Family Stone)
06) Tell Me If You Still Care (The S.O.S. Band)
07) Our Love Has Died (Ohio Players)
08) The Root
09) Really Love
10) Alright
