■Stones Throw Records

Founded by producer and DJ Peanut Butter Wolf, Stones Throw Records has built an indie music empire by supporting cutting-edge artists with a diverse range of vinyl records, merchandise, and events. Albums by Madvillain, J Dilla, Madlib, NxWorries, Knxwledge, Sudan Archives, Mayer Hawthorne, Dam-Funk, and Aloe Blacc are the foundation of the label, and all of them are known as masterpieces.

■Affinity with the indie music scene since 1996
Stones Throw and its artists have laid the foundation for the modern indie music scene. The label's enormous influence was brought to the spotlight in the 2014 feature-length documentary ""Our Vinyl Weight a Ton."" Roland's SP series of samplers, with their fluid workflow and portable design that you can take anywhere, have made them an essential item for the label's artists and fans as they continue to explore new musical worlds.

■Custom faceplate by Jeff Jank
This special model features a Stones Throw faceplate created by Jeff Jank, the legendary art director and illustrator behind the label, and special packaging. The beautiful, glossy premium aluminum faceplate embodies the spirit of Stones Throw and the SP-404MKII.

■Collector-worthy vinyl record and mixtape
