1994 was a stellar year for music. It reshaped pop with a tour de force of forward thinking records from up-and-comers across all genres, but perhaps the biggest explosion was Green Day’s major label debut, “Dookie”.

Dookie, much like its iconic album art, was a bomb that scattered Green Day’s many diverse influences, from punk to rockabilly to baroque pop, clearing the way for a synthesis of wall-of-sound guitars, melody-driven hooks, and frenetic drum fills that would define pop-punk for the ages. Now, grab it in liquid form.

A seminal release in the legendary Stones Throw catalog. A meeting of two of hip-hop’s most arresting talents- Madlib and the late MF DOOM.

Madvilliany exists as a turning point in hip-hop production, focusing on avant-garde, sample heavy production and the timeless stream-of-conciousness flow that stitched MF DOOM into the fabric of hip-hop history. Its non-linear, forward-thinking production has made this cult classic a staple of beatmaking, and one of the only albums to consistently sell better year after year. It’s sticky, fans adore it- so we made it drinkable.

We’re not just trying to make one-hit wonders for Dry January, we’re trying to release classics for the ages. Side B: Drinks with Benefits is sticking around.
