v/a FALLIN' OFF THE REEL Vol. 1 & 2 2xLP
*** RECOMMENDED 2-ON-1. "Ah. Trusty label Truth & Soul always seem to outdo themselves with each 7" release but they compiled 'em all onto a single CD anyway. Superb from start to finish, and worth having even if you got the 45s."

v/a FUNKY 16 CORNERS 2xLP
*** "Stones Throw and funk music don't seem like an unlikely pair these days, but when this came out, no one knew what was going on. This compilation is one of those infamous ones, with stories of Egon crawling through old ladies' attics in search of lost funk reels." On STONES THROW.

ARABIAN PRINCE Innovative Life 2xLP
*** NOW ON VINYL!

BARON ZEN Rhythm Trax Vol. 3 LP
*** "The third edition of "Rhythm Trax" series brings vintage future retro electro flavors from veteran Stones Throw recording artist Baron Zen."

*** BACK IN STOCK!

BR GUNNA / J DILLA Dirty District 12"

Feat. ELZHI, T3, MC BREED, FAT RAY, and THE DRAMATICS.

BUFF 1 Pretty Baby 12"
*** Feat. GUILTY SIMPSON and WAAJEED.

DAM FUNK Burgundy City 12"
*** "Dam Funk has been around since the golden age of electro music, back when Hip Hop and Dance music and Electronic were all the same genre. Think Mantronix..."

DAM FUNK Rhythm Trax Vol. 4 LP
*** "Stones Throw's newest star Dam Funk -- the 'ambassador of boogie funk' expertly uses analog synths and old school drum machines with a modern dancefloor aesthetic to make him one of the most exciting artists around."

DJ ROMES Rhythm Trax Vol. 2 LP
*** "Lootpack's DJ Romes entry into Stones Throw's new instrumental series. Quite different from James Pants' synth beats, Romes comes with more classic sounding Hip Hop. Perfect for beat juggling or as a backdrop for scratching."

*** "Touted as a digital-only release, but we managed to secure some white label vinyl pressings of this stunning re-work of "Madvillainy," with entirely new production from Madlib."

MOUNT EERIE Dawn LP+BOOK
*** "Dawn is an archival core sample from an intensely creative period of Elverum’s life, the winter of 2002/2003 spent in arctic Norway, a kind of “lost album” finally properly recorded on just guitar and singing. A simple white vinyl LP of those songs along with a special booklet of scary self portraits done in the dark window reflection in overflowing ink, vaguely corresponding to the overflowing darkness in the 19 songs."

MOUNT EERIE Lost Wisdom LP
