MIDNIGHT EAST presents STONES THROW 30 YEARS TOKYO supported by HUF

Los Angeles-based independent label Stones Throw Records celebrates its 30th anniversary with a special event at MIDNIGHT EAST (Spotify O-EAST & Azumaya) in Tokyo on June 6.

The lineup features label founder/director and legendary DJ Peanut Butter Wolf, Grammy-winning producer Knxwledge of NxWorries (Anderson .Paak & Knxwledge), multi-talented artist Mndsgn, and rising soul/R&B singer Michi, who will make her Japan debut at the event. Together, the four artists represent the past, present, and future of Stones Throw.

The event will also feature leading artists from Japan’s hip-hop and beat scene, including MURO, KM,16FLIP, OMSB, grooveman Spot, and GREEN ASSASSIN DOLLAR, creating a genre-crossing, multi-floor experience unique to MIDNIGHT EAST.

Since 1996, Stones Throw has been home to groundbreaking artists such as Madlib, J Dilla, MF DOOM, NxWorries, Mayer Hawthorne, and Aloe Blacc, building a global reputation across hip-hop, soul, funk, electronic music, and beyond.

Peanut Butter Wolf will return to Japan for the first time since 2018, performing a special “Stones Throw 30 Years” Video DJ Set — an audiovisual performance blending rare archival footage with music spanning the label’s 30-year history.

The event is supported by West Coast brand HUF, with a limited-edition collaboration T-shirt planned for release.

A special night where the sounds and cultures of Los Angeles and Tokyo come together in celebration of 30 years of Stones Throw.
