Peanut Butter Wolf on Radio 1 (2000)

DOWNLOAD

I never really delved too deep into the whole Stones Throw thing so I'm not massively familiar with Peanut Butter Wolf, but here he is in the mix on Gilles Peterson's Worldwide show on Radio 1 mixing up some hip hop, soul, breaks and quirky shit, which was very much the style at the time.

I never checked Gilles Peterson's show much at the time either, as it was hella Jazz Club for the most part, but every now and again he'd get some rap people on there. I believe one of my fellow tape rip blogger dudes might be dropping some of those shows in the future, once he's filtered out all the tabla, bongo and sitar business.

Egon & Dante - The Funk 45 Files

This was a mixtape from UK rap mag Big Daddy, in conjunction with Stones Throw. I'm guessing its a late 90s thing.. Egon and Dante Carfagna select an hour's worth of tasty funk 45s.

Full disclosure: I know very little about funk 45s, Egon or Dante. I only bought Big Daddy Magazine once (it was good but they didn't stock it round my way) and only have one Stones Throw record in my collection (this). I do like having some mixes like this in the stash to throw on now and again though. Once in a while its nice to just be a casual listener and not reference everything in relation to whats come before or after. Ignorance is bliss, as they say. Big up to Andy for sending this tape over, along with a load more that you'll be seeing soon.
