New Madvillain Single
05.26.2010 – 1:45 pm
Madvillain‘s 2004 debut album, Madvillainy on Stones Throw Records, was one of my favourite albums of last decade and I’ve been very (im)patiently waiting for something new by them ever since. Finally, MF Doom and Madlib began recording tracks for their new album last year and the album is still a work-in-progress. Courtesy of the [...]
Dusty Fingers all over my 45s
04.01.2010 – 1:43 am
Stones Throw recently pressed a few hundred copies of this 45 for this year’s SXSW music festival, with Mayer Hawthorne and James Pants covering each other’s songs. I want! Alas, the tracks are now only available for purchase digitally. Mayer Hawthorne’s rendition of JP’s “Thin Moon”: The OG: On the flip side, James Pants’ rendition of [...]
Best of 2009 – Shingo
01.09.2010 – 12:37 pm
It was definitely one of the most colourful years in a long time. In music however, 2009 was truly incredible, dominated by solid edits, new directions in dubstep, infectious indie melodies, tech-ier house, or slowing down the beat. I didn’t mind pulling all-nighters, thanks to some pretty dope podcasts from both East Village Radio (Authentic [...]
In Search of Stoney Jackson
12.16.2009 – 1:29 am
I don’t really listen to too much hip hop these days, but there are certain types of beats I still feel moved by, like the interesting crossover sounds of Flying Lotus, and that always fresh Stones Throw sound. As you can see, I’m not usually into beats sounding too polished. I’m definitely a big fan [...]

Do both! (*I get bad pun influences from the bad joke Master: urbansteve.. thanks, Steve!) (Wu Tang!) -MissRuckus
Ethio jazz meets… hip hop?
09.18.2009 – 3:00 am
One of my favourite artists of all time is the godfather of Ethiopian jazz, Mulatu Astatke, and this 10″ Soundway record of a few old re-releases of the funkier side of his music is one of my favourite records of all time (i.e. I will probably get buried with this record!): This 1998 album of [...]
I still love you, Mayer Hawthorne.
09.04.2009 – 2:50 am
Yeesh, what, do I have a crush on Mayer Hawthorne or something? Oh wait, I do. Stones Throw just posted this Astronote El Camino remix of this track. I’ve been slowly trying to ween myself off of listening to this record and this record almost every single day. I don’t know why Mayer Hawthorne is [...]
Could it be that your love is meant for me?
08.11.2009 – 2:57 am
New Mayer Hawthorne video! Mayer Hawthorne is touring (mostly in the US) this Fall and will be in Toronto on September 27th at The Drake. Pssst… Did you know that this track is a cover of this one? -MissRuckus
