Preston San & Kami de Chukwu I've been listening to this track for a while now, under the title "Traphouse Alchemy" as opposed to its current incarnation as "Labratory", either title works as the two go in. The Savemoney effort is produced by Jonwayne and features the dynamic duo of Kami de Chukwu & Preston San. If you're a fan of Chicago Hip Hop, you know Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa, however Savemoney has more than two members. As the summer continues, we'll continue to hear more and acquainted with the rest of the crew's members. [...]
Quakers : Official | Jonwayne : Official | Facebook Big ups Stones Throw Records for sending us the Quakers release. We're slowly and surely all making our way through each one of the tracks. There's quite a bit. The music video above featuring Jonwayne was one of the tracks that first jumped at me during the first spin of the hefty release. The music video's early 90s visualizations fit the vibe of the track perfectly. It feels like a proper music video on MTV way back when they actually [...]

Mr. Dibia$e | Soundcloud | Facebook Mr. Dibia$e the 2010 Red Bull Big Tune L.A. winner and one of the pillars of the thriving L.A. beat scene has been breaking necks for years with that signature raw choppy 8 bit Nintendo funk and is looking to cause some permanent neck and spine damage with this Loony Goons Tour . In celebration of his new release Loony Goons the Green Llama aka Mr. Dibia$e is teaming up with the likes of Flying Lotus , [...]
Stones Throw artists Jonti and Jonwayne took part in the Boiler Room's Los Angeles takeover that went down earlier this year. And considering they like working together , it's only fitting that their live sets would find their way online. Jonti sticks to his more tripped-out, beat-driven tunes across his 22-minute set while Jonwayne blends his instrumental and rapping tracks for 20 minutes. You can listen to both below. [ via ]

Had the horsemen in the WediditCollective any interest in pushing the crew narrative, I probably wouldn't have to link to their website in the first sentence. You might know the principals better from their solo work: Shlohmo , Jonwayne , Zeroh , RL Grime. There's more and all of them are interested in further blurring the line between beats, raps, R&B and IDM. It's experimental without the pretentiousness associated with the label. So Jonwayne's new mix for XLR8R includes Sun Ra, Edan, Ironman , Biggie remixes and eerie Japanese New Age music [...]
Jonah Bromwich is so delirious. There's more than one way to improve. You can progress steadily - moving from a couple of funny lines, to being able to ride a beat, to storytelling, to a perfect verse, to a perfect song, all over the course of four or five mixtapes and/or albums. Or you can just leap into excellence out of nowhere, "with nails, hair, teeth, speaking coherently." Jonwayne wasn't much for the steadiness. His new project This is False (like his last rap tape, [...]
Jonwayne 's unceremonious/somewhat unexpected delivery of his This Is False mixtape is an example of one of the very rare coincidental cases in which an artist releases a project just as I begin to start yearning for some new material from them. Not long ago, a chance listen to Jonwayne's self-released I Don't Care mixtape brought the Stones Throw/Alpha Pup Records producer/rapper to my attention. Recently an eager Jonwayne took to his facebook page to release his latest tape and too the the time out to briefly explain the concept of the project: [...]

Jonwayne - Lotus Bootleg Jonwayne - Stacking Corpses Jonwayne - whatarewegonnacallit (feat. Zeroh) Drop by Stones Throw's Jonwayne: So here is This is False , not so much a pile of songs as it is an executed concept in viewing how our surroundings change our energy and vibrations. Here, we have two very different ecosystems: My boy Zeroh's couch, in which I was using his equipment in his setting, with him in the room at all times, and my [...]
I've only listened to the first half but so far it's amazing. Even better than I Don't Care , in it's own way. Jonwayne is a Stones Throw artist now, so you better recognize. Jonwayne | Mediafire [zip]

Quakers: a hip-hop collective boasting 35 members orbiting around a core of three producers: Fuzzface, 7-Stu-7 and Katalyst. Fuzzface is better known as Portishead's Geoff Barrow; 7-Stu-7 is Portishead's engineer and in-house producer at Invada Records; Katalyst is one of the most respected producers in Australia. Dope. With this one Quakers offers up the production with some funky funky beat and Jonwayne proceeds to spit some real dope stuff. From the self titled 'Quakers' release, coming up in a lil under 2 weeks, as is this track . It is gonna [...]
Quakers is a 35-member underground hip-hop/rap collective from LA, headed by Australian producer Katalyst, engineer Stuart Matthews (7stu7), and Portishead's Geoff Barrow. "Smoke" is the second track to be released from their impending self-titled debut album. It features thick bouncy beats, cleverly mirthful lyrics, the cool ease of downtempo without the languidity, and Jonwayne. There's some playfully dramatic orchestral elements, a recurring female giggle, and the same assured phrase-slinging flow of Blackalicious. After After only two minutes, it winds down and wraps up, "Bustin' rhythms that'll make you rupture your pancreas / your man mustn't liken those who liken the bad jokes [...]
Portishead producer Geoff Barrow is also the man at the center of Quakers, an indie-rap collective with a new album coming out on Stones Throw in a couple of weeks. We've already heard the Guilty Simpson/M.E.D. collab " Fitta Happier ," which samples a marching-band version of Radiohead's "The National Anthem." And now here's another track called "Smoke," a deeply funky old-school lope that features the L.A. rapper Jonwayne. Read More...
"We just signed the lease Thursday," the adorable twenty-something proprietor of Wardenclyff told me while we waited for another noise band to start. "Wardenclyff" was once a tiny house that had been abused and then abandoned by its previous owners—the inside had stained dry scratchy hardwood floors and a useless sink in the middle of the room. Now, poof!, it's suddenly an art gallery, with graffiti lining the walls inside and out, and a homemade quilt over the windows to keep out the sun. Despite the primitive accommodations, they had a grassy parking lot and a backyard and [...]

SXSW has officially begun! It's hard to believe that it's been two years since our Quality! showcase at SXSW. This year, we've teamed up with Stones Throw and Insect Records to put together a really dope producer showcase. We've got some amazing talent on board: Georgia Anne Muldrow, Dudley Perkins, B. Lewis, Thelonious Martin, Jonwayne, Computer Jay, Jonti, Kone, SelfSays, Hawthorne Headhunters, Soundfounders and more. It's going to be a lovely day of good music, drinks and live artwork at the Volstead. Fortunately, most of the [...]
Here's a huge announcement: Quit Mumbling, Guns In The Sun, Hit City USA, & MFG present Spring Break, an unofficial SXSW event. Collectively, we're bringing you some of our favorite music from the last two years. The Men's sophomore release Open Your Heart has quickly jumped to the top of our favorite releases so far this year, with a killer tracklisting of melodic, full throttle punk rock. By year's end, we are sure this will still be on rotation, and for that reason, we can't wait to host them. Hooray [...]
