I got into Stones Throw late, around the time of My Vinyl Weighs a Ton (1999). Back then it represented, at least to me, the Bay Area hip-hop scene and artists like label founder Peanut Butter Wolf, Lootpack, Rasco, Quasimoto/Madlib etc. Now the team is based in LA and is releasing music from some of my favorite new artists like Dam-Funk.
It's been 15 years of great music and they're throwing a party on December 22nd at the Exchange. Special pre-sale tickets are on sale now for this event which promises to be epic.
