In celebration of their 30th anniversary, iconic Los Angeles record label Stones Throw Records is hosting one of the most uniquely experimental lineups we’ve seen in recent years from October 16th-18th. Taking place at The Lodge Room, Stones Throw is hosting a massive 3-day outdoor party in Highland Park with a lineup ranging from hip-hop to psychedelic rock to electronic to funk and even to experimental jazz; all in representation of the ambitious goal that the label has had of completely shattering the boundaries of genre throughout the past three decades. This is not a lineup that Janky Smooth readers will want to miss with N8NOFACE, Automatic, Los Retros, Mild High Club, Egyptian Lover, Sudan Archives, Bardo, J.

With just himself and his Roland SP-404, I can’t remember anyone who was able to fill up both big and small stages alike with just themselves, a sampler and a massive stage presence. But this headlining gig at the Lodge Room was a different configuration of people joining him on stage and that made me nervous, at first. When the essence of something you like changes, the changes aren’t always good. For this show, N8NOFACE enlisted the help of Here Lies Man and Antibalas guitarist, Marcos Garcia aka Chico Mann. This
