OUR VINYL WEIGHS A TON The Story of Stones Throw Records
We’re thrilled to be presenting the Sydney Premiere of this new documentary about fave LA label, Stones Throw. Direct from the film’s writer/director Jeff Broadway, it will be the first time Sydney audiences can hear the full story from label co-founder Peanut Butter Wolf as he takes us through forming the label with Charizma to latest success stories like Mayer Hawthorne. Featuring everyone from flagship hip hop acts like Madlib and J Dilla, plus acts like Dam-Funk and J Rocc etc through to Geoff Barrow, ?uestlove, Ben Harper and Kanye West. In a nice twist, one of Groovescooter’s founders, Georgie Zuzak, was Stones Throw’s Australian Label Manager for a number of years, overseeing all releases and promotions in the territory. We expect these screenings will be popular, so have made cheap pre-bookings available now. No booking fee, just an assurance you’ll have a seat. View the trailer, reviews and more info below.

“Full of inspired detours and colourful non sequiturs, Jeff Broadway’s music documentary will be greeted as a godsend by hardcore hip-hop fans.” [Variety]

“…Mirrors the rhythms and life of the records that Stones Throw has produced. Inventive camerawork combined with smooth editing and an eclectic mix of material keeps the movie rolling along. You don’t have to be a hip-hop aficionado or much of a music fan to be entranced by the compelling story and intimate remembrances.” [LA Magazine]
