Michi

Dirty Talk

    Latinx singer-songwriter Michi’s music blends eras into a singular sound: the nostalgia of MTV diva-era R&B meets the groove of ’70s and ’80s funk and soul. The songs on her debut album 'Dirty Talk' are about emerging from heartbreak with self-love and vitality.

    'Dirty Talk’s songs are about feeling empowered to embrace femininity, sexuality, and your authentic self. The album is produced by Blake Rhein (of Durand Jones & the Indications) and Paul Cherry (Jordana, Kate Bollinger).

    Quasimoto

    Yessir Whatever - 2025 Reissue

      Quasimoto first came to life on Madlib's personal beat tapes in the producer’s early years in Oxnard CA - private music, not meant for release, made for himself and a small circle of local smokers and their car stereos.

      ‘Yessir Whatever’ collects 12 Quasimoto tracks recorded over a roughly twelve-year period and is now released on a new silver vinyl edition, with a silver foil peel-off sticker revealing Quasimoto’s guts.

      Eddie Chacon

      Lay Low

        Eddie Chacon’s 2023 album, 'Sundown', established him as a “low-key R&B legend”, 30 years after his rocket-to-the-stars success as half of the duo Charles and Eddie. Now, Chacon is back with 'Lay Low', an album of hazy, seductive songs produced by Nick Hakim. Eddie Chacon’s soulful music has been praised by The Guardian, Uncut, MOJO, Record Collector, Aquarium Drunkard and many more.


        STAFF COMMENTS

        Barry says: A superb new one from Eddie Chacon, long established in his own right but formerly known as one half of Charles & Eddie (Of 'Would I Lie To You' fame). Chacon's latest dips more than a toe into the Balearic seas, but ends up somewhere between poolside electronica, downbeat and funky soul. It's a further extension of Chacon's established sound and shows how far his considerable talents stretch. A gorgeous return.

        Madvillain

        Madvillainy Demos

          In 2002, the first demo sequence of 'Madvillainy' leaked online. The tracks contained early vocal cuts from MF DOOM, recorded and quickly mixed in Los Angeles at Madlib's Bomb Shelter studio. The demos may have been unfinished, but fans understood that this was a hip-hop album unlike any other.

          DOOM re-recorded vocals – alluding to the leak on 'Rhinestone Cowboy' – and Madlib added new beats and changed up the sequence. Leaks could kill an album’s momentum in the early 2000s, but the demos only whetted fans' appetites; when Madvillainy came out in 2004 it was "one of the most anticipated releases in underground rap history," according to Pitchfork. Madvillainy is now regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.

          Available on vinyl for the first time, the ‘Madvillainy Demos’ are early versions of what is widely considered to be one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.

            Descanso

              Angela Muñoz is a singer songwriter born, raised and based in East Los Angeles. ‘Descanso’ is her debut release on Stones Throw.

              ‘Descanso’ means ‘to rest’ in Spanish and pays homage to Angela’s Mexican and Puerto Rican roots.

              Written with her brother, the EP makes space for Angela’s powerful voice and marks a new chapter as she comes of age, reflects on memories from her upbringing, and looks back to her childhood.

              At just 22 years old, Angela Muñoz’s voice is one of a kind, shining with gratitude and soul on her debut Stones Throw release.

              Her debut record, ‘Introspection’, was a collaboration with artist, producer and Jazz Is Dead label founder, Adrian Younge.

              At just 17, Angela joined The Midnight Hour, Younge’s group with Ali Shaheed Muhammad (of A Tribe Called Quest), toured with them around the US and performed on NPR’s Tiny Desk.

              Campus Christy

                Campus Christy is a collaboration between Stones Throw Records’ founder Chris Manak aka Peanut Butter Wolf (vocals) and Brian Ellis (instruments).

                Nearly 25 years after his 1999 release of My Vinyl Weighs a Ton, Manak has formed a brand new musical project, reinterpreting lesser-known tracks from the late ‘60s to early ‘80s.

                Campus Christy revives Manak’s high school garage band moniker, a niche ode to the past.

                Just Ain't Gonna Work Out

                  Mayer Hawthorne's debut release on heart-shaped red translucent vinyl. The hanging-by-a-string falsetto and breakbeat production on 'Just Ain't Gonna Work Out' are simultaneously Smokey Robinson and J Dilla – equal parts 'The Tracks of My Tears' and 'Fall in Love'. Where the side A is the breakup song, the flip-side regrets it: 'When I Said Goodbye'.

                  Sofie Royer

                  Young-Girl Forever

                    'Young-Girl Forever' is the shimmering new electro-pop album by Vienna-based artist Sofie Royer. It follows her 2020 debut, 'Cult Survivor', and 2022’s 'Harlequin'.

                    The album paints a bold portrait of how it is to be a female artist today – amid capitalist trappings, existential uncertainties, and constant feeling that you’re out of step with other people your age.

                    Royer borrowed the term “Young-Girl” from Preliminary Materials for the Theory of a Young-Girl, originally published in French anarchist journal Tiqqun. The book portrays the Young-Girl as a symbol of consumerism under modernity.

                    'Young-Girl Forever' oscillates between optimism and doom – it celebrates the Young-Girl while also rebuking the culture that created her, and so expresses desire for true liberation.

                        'Planet Pearl' is French-American duo Pearl & The Oysters’ second album for Stones Throw, the follow up to 'Coast 2 Coast'.

                        'Planet Pearl' sees P&TO as castaway space explorers marooned on earth, pondering their own estrangement from the planet as they navigate an alien world.

                        From jazz-pop joy to depressed disco, 'Planet Pearl’s' songs approach heavy subjects like family illness and neurodivergence with a light touch.

                        But no matter how melancholic or alienated they feel, P&TO always see the fun side. Get ready to land on 'Planet Pearl'!

                          'INBETWEEZER' is the 10th record by L.A. songwriter, producer & performer, Jerry Paper, aka Lucas Nathan.

                          Filled with crooning rockers and bubble-pop jams, this is an album made by an artist indulging in total, freewheeling play.

                          'INBETWEEZER' explores complicated feelings as Nathan goes on a journey of “radical growth” through therapy, eventually learning to become a therapist themselves.

                          The album’s songs grapple with learning how to change, unlearning what you learned before, learning it again… ad infinitum.

                                        Barry says: If ever an album screamed 'Rhodes' and 'Ibiza' more than this little gem from Eddie Chacon, i'm yet to hear of it. Wonderfully meditative but without sacrificing the swimming melodicism and horizontal soul we've come to expect from Chacon (of Charles & Eddie fame). A shimmering, hazy Balearic beauty.

                                          • Beatitudes is J.Rocc’s new beat tape for Stones Throw, which follows his full length album,
                                          A Wonderful Letter, released earlier this year on the label.

                                          • Beatitudes goes back to the artist’s routes as a DJ and turntablist and is made up of ten instrumental hip-hop tracks inspired by 20th century gospel recordings.

                                          • The cover pays homage to the work of a painter known only as Harvey, an artist who created nearly 200 sleeves in the 1960s for gospel and jazz albums on Savoy Records and its subsidiary labels Gospel, Regent, and Sharp.

                                            Harlequin journeys between Sofie’s adolescence and adulthood, blending her nostalgia for early aughts reality television and American mall punk subculture with her passion for medieval performance, European cabaret, and Vienna’s ballet and opera history.

                                            For her new record, Sofie adopts the visual aesthetic and gestures of the court jester, clown and cabaret artist, from the album artwork through to her live performances.

                                                    Excess is Automatic’s second album following their 2019 debut Signal. Excess distils themes of 70s and 80s corporate excess, dystopian sci-fi and climate change into 10 new songs. 

                                                    The motorik and icy atmospheres of Automatic’s debut Signal remain, but Excess sees the band widening their scope, folding catchy pop hooks into their sound.  The band has toured nationally and internationally playing headline shows and sharing the stage with Bauhaus, Viagra Boys and Osees.

                                                          U.S. Velvet

                                                            ‘U.S. Velvet’ is the debut release from the LAbased duo of the same name, made up of Zahara Jaime and Collin Davis.

                                                            Collin is currently an engineer and producer at Stones Throw Studios in Los Angeles and Zahara is a touring musician with The Simps and Eyedress.

                                                            Cryptozoo: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

                                                              John Carroll Kirby brings his talents as a composer and producer to film scoring. His vivid imagination, dreamy compositions, and knack for storytelling with instrumental music make for a perfect match with comic book writer, artist and filmmaker Dash Shaw’s vibrant, fantastical animated feature.

                                                              Kirby’s score is at once deeply evocative and mysterious, evoking nostalgia, wide-eyed innocence, and ethereal otherworldliness. As with all of Kirby’s music, the score resists easy genre classification, melding together sounds from New Age, exotica, library music, and the sweeter side of electronic music.

                                                              Cryptozoo: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is Kirby’s latest album following the release of his electronic-jazz album Septet in June 2021. He will be touring the UK & Europe in March 2022.

                                                                  ‘Primordial Waters’ sees the prodigiously talented young musician take his explorations in jazz and hip-hop to new heights. Inspired by Orisha stories and Jamael’s Los Angeles roots, the album is heavily infused with Yoruba spirituality and celestial themes. Several of the tracks interpolate traditional Yoruba songs and feature vocals from frequent collaborator Sharada Shashidhar.

                                                                  The album was mixed by Leaving Records’ Zeroh and mastered by Grammy Award-winning audio engineer and Low End Theory founder Daddy Kev.

Extensive touring is planned for 2021 and 2022, including a residency at LA’s Gold Diggers, a double headline bill with Mndsgn at the Jazz Cafe, and several European jazz festivals and club shows in November 2021.

                                                                    ‘Drawing’ is Silas’ debut EP on the label.

                                                                    Silas’ music is where soul and classic R&B meet. Reminiscent of D’Angelo and Erykah Badu, his musical compositions also channel a range of artists from Mos Def and Stevie Wonder to Radiohead and Björk.

                                                                    Chicago-based Silas Short had a rough time growing up as a mixed-race child in the suburbs of Milwaukee but he found solace and inspiration in music through his older brother who played drums for the church gospel band.

                                                                    After Silas shattered a bone in his left hand while delivering pizzas and was told by a doctor that he’d never play guitar again, he stuck through the pain and went on to develop a method of guitar playing he describes as ‘Liquid Style’.

                                                                    The seven pieces that make up ‘Drawing’ are the product of Silas using the lockdowns of 2020 as an opportunity to discover his true sound.

                                                                    With his honest and vulnerable yet uplifting sound, Silas hopes to honour his biracial

"Kickinit Alone" sees the producer marry swung sampler beats, dusty Rhodes licks, gentle fretwork and low slung basslines into a downbeat delight. Situated perfectly between blunted hip hop beats and modern jazz, this pretty much typifies the 'lo-fi hip hop to chill to" playlists.

Follow up to his debut album, ‘Exotic Worlds and Masterful Treasures’, featuring break out hit ‘Soon Never Comes’. 

                                                                        ‘Low Budget Environments Striving For Perfection’ is comprised of atmospheric hip-hop beats, mainly using a Yamaha SU700. Focussed and singular in style, direction and execution yet occupying a suitably stoned, hazy and liminal area which gives way to psychedelic day dreams amd optimistic moods.

                                                                        Stimulator Jones counts Billie Eilish as a fan - she has posted his track ‘Soon Never Comes’ multiple times on her socials. For fans of Dan Kye, Matt Martians, DãM-FunK, Mndsgn, Jitwam, DJ Harrison, Swarvy, Butcher Brown etc.

It's a brilliantly psychedelic and brilliantly constructed set of gems.

                                                                                      Featuring over 25 MCs on over 30 tracks across 2 LPs, it's a highly accomplished journey into the more concious and musical territories of rhyme and beat. It contains explosive, up-to-date commentaries on subjects such as American politics, Black identiy, gun laws, disproportionate wealth and global disengagement with minorities.

An album written, recorded and produced entirely by Kirby, My Garden is a pure distillation of his sound — soulful, spiritual, and evocative. Demonstrating perfectly why Kirby is the go-to collaborator for artists ranging from experimental auteurs Bat for Lashes and Connan Mockasin to pop megastars Harry Styles and Kali Uchis, and R&B innovators Solange and Frank Ocean, My Garden is also a testament to the clarity and singularity of Kirby's vision.

                                                                                                      "Snaxx" is a return to the kind of beatmaking that has gained Mndgsn a large worldwide following. A mixtape-like sequence that meanders, jerks and dips through boom-bat, celebral atmospheres, downbeat head nodders and stoned-out curios.

I get the feeling all that is about to change. In the past couple of years, Benny Sings co-wrote and featured on Rex Orange County’s hit ‘Loving Is Easy’ and has collaborated with Anderson Paak, GoldLink and Mndsgn, among others.
                                                                                                      Now he's back with his sixth LP, and first for Stones Throw, "City Pop", a glorious selection of high gloss pop songs featuring the likes of Mayer Hawthorne and Cornelius. Despite a heavy Japanese influence on the LP, whether it be collaborators Cornelius and Sukimaswitch (the “Japanese Steely Dan”) or sleeve artist Ryu Okubo, the LP's title isn't a straight reference to the Japanese pop of the 80s, but rather a reflection of the international cities which shaped its creation. Written and recorded in New York, LA, Tokyo, Paris and Benny’s hometown of Amsterdam, this is global soul for the next generation.

Produced by Mndsgn and featuring Los Angeles songstress Nite Jewel this is specialist tackle for sure. Galvanized slap bass, intricate drum programming, on classic rhythm boxes; a Prince-esque vocal delivery and delightfully languid, highly sensuous delivery throughout. Un-hurried and relaxed, let Prophet be your man for the night or the day.

On his debut album, ‘Exotic Worlds And Masterful Treasures’, Stimulator Jones’ elastic voice and instrumental grooves evoke the heady feel of R&B favourites like Rick James, K-Ci & JoJo and The Gap Band.

Remixes, is a new reworking of the critically acclaimed debut album from NxWorries. Knxwledge continues a Stones Throw tradition started by Madlib, by remixing his own album, adding a new interpretation to the tracks featuring Anderson .Paak’s vocals. “Two artists working at the absolute height of their talents” – Pitchfork “One of the best albums of 2016” – Complex “Yes Lawd! is an album that feels alive, a living and breathing object that nods to the past while staying in the present” - The FADER “The inspired combo of Paak’s soulful rasp and Knxwledge’s cratedigging sample...makes this album something special in a year that’s already filled with strong R&B LPs”

Instrumental versions of Gabriel’s Stones Throw Records debut Jardín now available on limited edition wax. Gabriel Garzón-Montano’s formidable skills have come to fruition on Jardín in his Stones Throw debut. “This album came out of wanting to make music that reminds people how beautiful life is and how delicate their heart is,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to make music that is healing, comforting, and funky. I named the album Jardín hoping for it to create a space for healing when people put it on. “A garden is full of life, growth and beauty,” Gabriel said of choosing that unifying image as the title for his new album. “It makes me think of green and white and all the colors as they appear in different flowers.” That vivid spectrum bursts forth on Jardín itself and the album contains references to fruit of all sorts, sour mango, juicy tangerines and sweet peaches. From the heartache and aching vocals that float over the dusty drums of “Crawl” to the stutter-step thump of “Bombo Fabrika” to the high falsetto he nails on “Octave,” Garzón-Montano proves himself to already be one of 2017’s biggest breakout talents.

                                                                                                                Gabriel Garzón-Montano’s formidable skills have come to fruition on Jardín in his Stones Throw debut . “This album came out of wanting to make music that reminds people how beautiful life is and how delicate their heart is,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to make music that is healing, comforting, and funky. I named the album Jardín hoping for it to create a space for healing when people put it on. “A garden is full of life, growth and beauty,” Gabriel said of choosing that unifying image as the title for his new album. “It makes me think of green and white and all the colours as they appear in different flowers.” That vivid spectrum bursts forth on Jardín itself and the album contains references to fruit of all sorts, sour mango, juicy tangerines and sweet peaches. From the heartache and aching vocals that float over the dusty drums of “Crawl” to the stutter-step thump of “Bombo Fabrika” to the high falsetto he nails on “Octave,” Garzón-Montano proves himself to already be one of 2017’s biggest breakout talents.

Mndsgn’s psychedelic beats have already won him fans such as Danny Brown, who snapped him up to produce a track the lead track for his Classic Drug Referencesrelease and BBC Radio 1’s Benji B. Dazed & Confused described him as “one of the west coast’s finest beat-smiths… each track is a patchwork of lush electronic samples blended together to create warm, sun-drenched little charmers.”

                                                                                                                On 'Yawn Zen', his debut for Stones Throw, Mndsgn has carved himself an unusually calm-sounding place in the Los Angeles beat scene. The influence of labelmates Madlib and J Dilla on this on this collection of laid-back beats is never far off, but Yawn Zen has a psychedelic, jazzy flavour that equally recalls the likes of Flying Lotus, Gonjasufi and Samiyam.
