Miss the good old days when you made your girl a mixtape? Well, check out The Playlist Cards.
“With the digitalisation of music, the gift of the mixtape has vanished”
A series of greetings cards that when scanned with a QR code reader direct people to themed playlists within their Spotify Premium smart phone app. A digital love affair.

Probably the best album you’ll hear this year. Unbeatable beats and the two most talented rappers alive. You are now watching The Throne. Get the deluxe version. Our favorites? New Day, Why I Love You & Illest Motherf**ker Alive. Infographic via The Fader.

Moments is a new production by Teebs. Almost 200 smoke bombs were used to create this seemingly never ending transition. This guy is one of Brainfeeder‘s finest. Looks great!
Deadalus in a Victorian-era séance

Stumbled upon these Room 205 sessions via our musical likeminds of Nutriot. In this session, Daedelus wanted to re-imagine the space as a Victorian-era séance. So, with a bit of help from director Michael Reich and set designer Tamarra Younis, that’s exactly what he did. If you digg this little experimental thingie, don’t sleep on Sundown and One and Lonely.
Aloe Blacc & MADE moments

The boys and girls from MADE Berlin like to tease us every now and then with an unexpected performance, art exhibition or magazine launch. Last month, the Berlin collective invited Stones Throw favorite Aloe Blacc for a Billie jean tribute. The song was interpreted by Miki and his string-quintet, who translated the soul and funk infused music into classical compositions. Such a sweet little moment. Great work. Check out other songs over here.

A mini documentary featuring behind the scenes footage of Jay-Z and Kanye West making Watch The Throne (released on August 1st). A well shot video, also highlighting some soundbites of the album. Very promising. Via Introspective. Available in a download.
Oldskool Neptunes, with a twist

Well, we can’t say we really liked Skateboard P‘s productions over the last years. However, this track with rapper Noreaga (hopefully) is a game changer. The result? An oldskool Neptunes sound, with a twist. Auch.
