If you’ve never been or heard of The Do-Over, you’re in for a real treat. The brainchild of Aloe Blacc, Stones Throw behind-the-scenes architect Jamie Strong & Chris Haycock. Some of the best times there were when nobody knew who was playing. Wil.I.am & DJ AM had two of the most unique sets I’d ever heard. Dj Rhettmatic & the Beat Junkies are a fixture in addition to Aloe playing the pitch perfect MC for the weekly summertime party series in L.A. Now, The Do-Over is releasing limited 10-inch record series featuring exclusive tracks from some of the guests of the party. Each volume is limited to 1,000 copies, featuring deluxe artwork/packaging by a different graphic designer.
Volume 1 comes with never heard before music by Flying Lotus (Warp/Brainfeeder) & House Shoes (debut release) in this LA vs Detroit beatdown. If you haven’t heard King James or Gaslamp Killer’s retrospective find it on this site
The deluxe package features custom duo-finish jacket, inner-sleeve, kiss-cut sticker sheet to design your own sleeve & pressed on clear vinyl. Artwork/Packaging by Steven Harrington. Click on the photos to be redirected to the do over site & stonesthrow’s store respectively.
