Founded fifteen years ago by LA musician DJ Peanut Butter Wolf, Stones Throw Records started as an artist-run, obscure indie label that brought vibrant and essential hip-hop music to North America. Years later, this little start-up company has now risen to become a powerhouse in the music scene while still keeping its uncompromising indie flair. It's launched the careers of countless of artists and has also won the praise of well-established artists such as Kanye West. Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton: This Is Stones Throw Records takes us on a tour of the rise of Stones Throw Records and provides an intimate account of the trials and tribulations encountered along the way. Drawing from live concert footage, never-before-seen archival video and interviews with artists, Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton is a candid portrait of an artist and his quest to revolutionize the North American music scene. Our sound system will be pumped to the max for this special screening! Robin Smith, Hot Docs
