In Los Angeles 10/31/2004

DJ Shadow is in top form here mixing all vinyl on three decks. Shadow: "Here we are, in the Serato age, with access to millions of songs, and DJ's are still playing the same 50 over and over again...There's something wrong with that."

Indeed! So here, you get Shadow songs, electro, hip-hop, dubstep, new techno, drum & bass, heavy metal, and anything else Shadow felt like throwing in the stew, in a remarkably cohesive and adept mix which never fails to thrill and yes, challenge the listener.
