Independent Label- StonesThrowRecords

Founded by Chris Manak (aka DJ Peanut Butter Wolf) in 1996.
They have over 40 artists signed to them, one of these artists is Aloe Blacc who has become successful over the past few years. 
At the beginning of the label, their way of distributing their artists was by handing out tapes with previews of the songs on. So the label would have benefited from new technology as it means they now can use their own website to sell and preview their songs. Soundcloud, Facebook and Twitter are sites listed on the labels website which shows this is what they now use to distribute and exhibit their artists.
