It has now been almost seven years since the release of Madvillainy, the head-spun avant-rap masterpiece from Madvillain, the elusive duo of DOOM and Madlib. So the emergence of a minute and 49 seconds of new Madvillain music is a big deal. In a new podcast from Stones Throw Records, that's exactly what we get.

The Stones Throw 2011 podcast gives us 50 minutes of music from the label's new and forthcoming releases, all mixed by label chief Peanut Butter Wolf. The podcast opens with two tracks from Madvillain, "Avalanche" and "Victory Lap". Knowing how Madvillain operate, we aren't sure whether these tracks are clips or entire songs, but you can download them from Gorilla Vs. Bear, or get the entire podcast from iTunes. No word yet on whether these tracks will appear on the new Madvillain record that's reportedly been in the works for over a year.
