089: The Twilite Tone

<p>Stones Throw is proud to announce The Clearing, the debut solo album from Chicago musician and producer The Twilite Tone, aka Anthony Khan, to be released 9 October. Tone first linked up with Common in the ‘80s, as DJ for him and No I.D. and co-produced much of Common’s debut album Can I Borrow A Dollar. Today, he joins me on the podcast to chat a bit about the past, present, and...well no future, because as I learn, the present is the opportune time to evaluate, harvest, and grow. The Clearing is a space and place of being free. We need to clear the debris from the desk and see the mahogany wood, so we can do the work. The album also showcases a sound that Tone describes as “trans-genre” — a mixture of house, electronic funk, and instrumental hip-hop that continues Stones Throw’s beatmaker legacy — informed by the musical history and spirit of his home town.
