James Pants – Seven Seals (Review)

James Pants

Seven Seals

Released by Stones Throw Records


James Pants is known for his eccentricity; from the moment he leaped onto the scene, his sound and style were unmistakable.

So for his sophomore effort on Stones Throw, entitled Seven Seals, Pants takes on a journey of the formulation of a cult and its track-by-track audible representation.

Dam-Funk :: Mirrors (Video)

Dam-Funk releases the next track from the album Toeachizown with the “Mirrors“.  Dam has definitely fallen into his own with 5xLP funk opus known as Toeachizown.

Stones Throw Podcast 52 Second Hand Sureshots (Video & MP3)

This is an extension of the Secondhand Sureshots project, a J.Rocc mixtape made up of as many of the reject vinyl as he could manage. Given the working material, the results are impressive.

Stones Throw and Parra/Rockwell to Launch Secret Pop-Up Shop in L.A.

West Coast Sound

Stones Throw has become the exclusive North American distributor for Rockwell. And in honor of this, not only are they selling a whole bunch of sweet Parra threads online, but they’re planning a three-day pop-up shop somewhere in the city, starting on Black Friday and continuing through the weekend.

The location is currently billed as “somewhere hidden in the City of Angels,” and knowing Stones Throw, the event itself will probably involve some serious beats. Apparently, you can email this address to get hip to the specifics as they come.
