Thom Yorke: Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes
Yorke’s first solo album in eight years is also the first paygated Bundle. Eight sparse, haunting tracks that demand deep listening.
Diplo: F10rida

Florida, released in 2004 on Big Dada, is Southern lit through the lens of trip-hop. The Bundle includes the full album, stems, curated art, and also: a trove of emails from Diplo in the 90s, which is 100% required reading.

Jeff Broadway: Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton
Stones Throw Records started out as a eulogy; an imprint formed in 1996 by Chris Manak (Peanut Butter Wolf) to posthumously publish the work of his partner, Charles Hicks (Charizma). It came to define a generation of sound: from Madlib and Dilla, to Aloe Blacc and Flying Lotus. Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton tells the true story of a fabled label in live concert film, archival footage, home video, photographs, and interviews with Peanut Butter Wolf, Madlib, Jeff Jank, Kanye West, Questlove, Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, and more. The Bundle includes an exclusive preview of the film, plus three tracks from Stones Throw’s vault.
Zeds Dead: Somewhere Else
The Somewhere Else Bundle from Hooks and DC features the never-before-released track “Love Me”, the full video from “Lost You” featuring Twin Shadow, rare posters, and remix-able stems.
Young & Sick
Every record is just that: an audiovisual artifact, sound and image, memory and history. It is always more than music that gets stuck in our heads. Nick Van Hofwegen’s project Young & Sick explores the blurred lines between songcraft and design; building an animated world around ethereal, shimmering electronic sound. His American Dreams Bundle includes an exclusive demo, music mixes, and art journals.
J. Moore and DJ Hyphen: Northwest Fresh
J.Moore and DJ Hyphen capture the sound of Seattle hip hop circa now, with new music from Nacho Picasso, Peta Tosh, Brothers From Another and more.
