Stones Throw Podcast 81: Jonwayne Daytime Naps

Jonwayne has created an ambient, 67-minute mixtape called Daytime Naps, his first mix in the Stones Throw Podcast series.

He explains it: “For a couple of years I have started to embrace daytime napping again. Back in the day it was just something we did, but I feel that if you have a schedule that allows it you shouldn’t feel out of touch with the act of passing out on a couch or going back to bed altogether. It leaves more time in the night for creation and contemplation, which I feel we all need. I don’t know if this should be a soundtrack to your afternoon conks, but I’m positive it’s mine.”

This mix is long enough so that you can nap in the middle and still catch the beginning and end of the mix, but we recommend hearing the entire mix also while awake.

Podcast artwork by Henry DeMaio. A link below contains a 320 MP3 download of the mix along with several other variations of the artwork by Daddy Kev, Deeleon, Miko Revereza, Alima and Mndsgn.

Stones Throw Podcast 76: Cut Chemist’s Cassette Culture

15 08 2012

Download: Stones Throw Podcast 76: Cut Chemist’s Cassette Culture

While Cut Chemist was prepping for an all-cassette mix with 4 decks at an event this past weekend (Cinespia: music played by great DJs at a Hollywood cemetery before a film), he put together this mix for the Stones Throw Podcast – Cassette Culture. It’s an all-cassette, post punk mix, featuring a few tracks from an upcoming release on A Stable Sound next year called Funk Off. Need a track list? You’ll have to chase down Cut for that … try him on here, here or here and let us know because we want the track list as well.

Cut Chemist’s latest solo release is the single “Outro (Revisted)” and hopefully and album soon to follow.

Cut’s cassette mix comes just as Stones Throw is dropping our first cassette-only release, Cassette by Jonwayne, and putting together a comp from the cassette label, Leaving Records. Some kind of conspiracy? Actually, no … it’s mere coincidence. Adding to the coincidence is the somewhat unlikely claim made by Wall Street Journal today that “In fact, among adults, cassette tapes remain more popular than many online music services, or even vinyl records, despite the latter medium’s purported comeback in recent years.” – WSJ, 8/14/12 (link).

Kouta – Granola (Orinda EP)
Born Heller – Mountain Song (Born Heller LP)
Glenn Jackson – Evan (Mapzzz EP)
Anenon – Equilibrium (Acquiescence EP)

Notes from Shortcircles:

To be honest, all I’ve been listening to lately is Slum Village and D’angelo, but this podcast isn’t of music I’m just currently listening to. These songs in the podcast are ones that have sorta stuck with me since I first heard them and have had somewhat of an impact on the music I’ve been working on lately. The majority of this podcast was made during a flight from San Francisco to San Diego, so the selection of songs is meant to suit that feeling of being approximately 30,000 ft. above ground.

Anenon’s “Equilibrium” from his spacious and lush Acquiescence EP serves as the piano backdrop for one of my favorite mediation records, “Concentration & Meditation” by Madam Indra Deví. I picked up “Concentration & Meditation” at the record store I would go to when I was growing up in San Diego. Every time I went to that store, they had pretty much the same over priced, generic collection, but when was looking through the Electronic/Misc. section I came across something new, this meditation record, and with the cover art alone I had to buy it.
