The single from Oh No's album Ohnomite is the DOOM track "3 Dollars", pressed on 5-inch vinyl. Stones Throw will have copies of these shipping by June 11th. CD & 2LP copies of the album Ohnomite are shipping now.
Nothing for free in this post, just a little reminder. Now is your chance to buy this classic LP again! This time without raps.
I could have randomly selected whatever beat is on this record to promote buying it. Fancy Clown is one of my favorites, but at the same time I feel bad, because I didn`t choose the Meat Grinder or Rainbows. Whatever! All beats produced by the Beat Konducta himself. Nuts!

The Stepkids are the first of several new Stones Throw artists to be announced in 2011. Their self-titled album will be released this fall. A limited-edition 12" single Shadows on Behalf / La La will be released in April. More Informations...
From the Madlib Medicine Show #11: Low Budget High Fi Music here is a track from Madlib & J Dilla from their never-realized second album. Jaylib was formed in 2002 as Madlib & Dilla recorded separately in Los Angeles and Detroit. Their one album, Champion Sound, was released in 2003. When J Dilla moved to Los Angeles, he, Madlib and J Rocc began doing shows together as Jaylib, performing together for the first time at the Madvillain record release party in April 2004. Madlib and Dilla collaborated primarily through the exchange of beat tapes, occasionally reworking each others material, or chopping the same beat in a kind of recorded call-and-response.
After a brief pause in the Medicine Show series, Madlib returns with a 28-track, full-length hip-hop album of collaborations with AG, Guilty Simpson, MED, Oh No, Strong Arm Steady and others. Karriem Riggins pops in for a short Supreme Team session, Madlib & Oh No debut their group The Professionals, and we hear for the first time a Jaylib-era track from Madlib & Dilla's never-realized second album.
The unofficial title of this album is Dirty Demos selected by the Loop Digga, a reference to a fire which destroyed some of this album's master tapes - a story detailed in the CD's 12-page booklet. The CD cover is by Isabel Samaras, LP illustrations by Gustavo Eandi, and design by Jeff Jank.
Remaining supply of the 2008 limited edition release featuring exclusive J Dilla/Madlib remixes, and only vinyl releases of Supreme Team, Aloe Blacc, Percee P. In 2008 we created a triple 12-inch box set, all based around our Miami Winter Music party Hella International. Parra did the sleeve. Madlib's remixes of two J Dilla tracks from Ruff Draft, "The $" and "Make 'em NV" appear here exclusively. Many of the other tracks – collabs between artists like Dam Funk & Baron Zen,...........continue reading....
Earlier this month we premiered the first part of the short film,"The Model," featuring the golden throated Brazilian charmer, Seu Jorge ("City of God," "Life Aquatic") as a character called Marcello. Along with the smoothest version of "Everybody Loves The Sunshine" ever recorded, Seu Jorge And Almaz's cover of Kraftwerk's "The Model" was teased at the end. Here, in chapter two we get treated to more of Jorge's hypnotic take on the song and how it fits into the recurring dreams of a mysterious woman that have come to consume him....continue reading @ IFC
Im impressed about this fantastic visuals and the short story behind. Take a trip and view the movie.
WOW. After the fucking incredible Stones Throw Podcast 62 by no other than Paul White. They let Dimlite have a go (50 minutes???). The swiss producer has almost legendary status in my clique. Sorry this time we have no ready-to-download-the-mp3 presentation for you. I guess you will have to get it through Itunes.
We have here is a 12-inch EP from J Rocc, the first sounds of what will be his first album of original material, Some Cold Rock Stuf, coming in 2011. The EP is “Play This Too” - title track, bonus beats, backed with two other tracks.
J. Rocc is known as a founding member of the Beat Junkies, long-time DJs for Madlib (including the third member of Jaylib), and for our money, the best hip hop DJ in the world. But we've been asked what his own album is – a mixtape? A DJ album? A beats album? The answer is none of the above. Play this and find out ...
This new stonesthrow release is fresh, funky and fantastic. J. Rocc to the fullest, hard banging funk drums and a power boost for any dance floor. This is a must have.
I love it, when Stonesthrow drops NEWS! This video is so nice! Track is of the "Search of Stoney Jackson". Strong Arm Steady is kickin it fresh and this nice Madlib beat made me happy. Kool Day. More informationsvia!
The second single from Aloe Blacc's forthcoming Good Things is a 7-inch of “Femme Fatale”, Aloe Blacc & Truth+Soul's take on the Velvet Underground classic. The instrumental is on the flip side of this heavy 7-inch slab of vinyl.

Legendary producers/DJs Q-Tip & Peanut Butter Wolf join Skillz backstage at the Nokia Theater in Times Square to share some hip-hop related stories and reminisce on their memories of the late great J-Dilla.
Mayer Hawthorne, the new funky chicken is everywhere,my Homie "Torky Tork" went to this concert with his lady and im sure he will edit the post and will tell us later how chicken it was.Visit Stonesthrow-Records for more.
S.O.LO
Tork`s edit: hehe...yeah this was a crazy show.the funny thing about it was...i expected girls and couples - no, not at all. straight up hiphop heads with caps and baggy pants and everybody was chanting along. and of course berlin is the meanest crowd ever...listen to what he says after the first song. the concert was longer than 30 min though. big up to mayer and the county. big up to solo... fallin asleep right now
Thinkloud: Droppin' Mirrors is a musical cross-section of past collaborations, as well as a glimpse of projects to come.But what makes this compilation special?The tracks featured are no mere licensed releases, nor are they a "Best Of" of ThinkLoud's back catalogue. Droppin' Mirrors contains almost nothing but exclusive productions. These are the natural result of joint shows with, and tours managed by ThinkLoud's DJ Conikt across Germany and Europe. We managed to get artists like Aloe Blacc (Stones Throw), Kev Brown (Up Above), Grand Agent (Superrappin') and Oddisee&TrekLife (Diamond District) on board. At the same time, young and talented artists like Portformat, Shuanise, Fid Mella, and others have found their way onto the album. They embody the very sound we are aiming for.A major portion of the songs were composed by in-house producer Stroe, and recorded together with the guest artists in Berlin.The result is a genre-crossing product that transcends its roots in Rap, Experimental, and neo-Soul.Droppin' Mirrors sets sail towards electronically fragmented, soulful beats, deconstructivist arrangements, and unconventional ideas to let a charm of its own flourish.
This past year, around the same time Madlib was creating his remix of Guilty Simpson's Ode to the Ghetto for his Madlib Medicine Show #1 release, we had Oh No remix the tracks as well, using samples from the Now-Again catalog. Oh No's collection Ghettodes is not meant as an album, but you put 14 tracks together and you might as well call it that.
A few tracks have come out individually over the past year via stonesthrow.com, the ST Twitter and ST Facebook pages, but here is a download of the complete set:
1. American Nightmare: rel. on the Whitefield Bros 45 . 2. Piglets: we put this up on ST twitter a while back. 3. Riches 4. Futuristic feat. MED: also sent out via Twitter. 5.
