Ditching the funk direction of the last albums, Funky Skunk is an hour long hip-hop mix, showcasing the finest tracks from over the last few decades. The majority of the set focuses on the early stages of the genre, with Shadow selecting the best in 80's hip hop and early electro - where tracks were made the good old fashioned way; a tight loop of beats, sampled breaks, primitive scratching and an MC. A far away place from the overproduced and overpaid stars of of today's stale hip hop / R&B. There a   [ read more ]

CLASSIC. As a suburban Californian kid, DJ Shadow tended to treat hip-hop as a musical innovation, not as an explicit social protest, which goes a long way toward explaining why his debut album "Endtroducing..." sounded like nothing else at the time of its release. Using hip-hop -- not only its rhythms but also its cut-and-paste techniques as a foundation -- Shadow created a deep, endlessly intriguing world on "Endtroducing," one where there are no musical genres, only shifting sonic textures and styles.

DJ Shadow, as his alias suggests, is no fan of the limelight, but he is now stepping forward to lead his genre in what has become known as "Cinematic Hip-Hop." "In Tune & On Time" is the audiovisual recording of his extraordinary live shows from his world tour. This remarkable CD/DVD captures Shadow's startling visceral and visually dynamic performance. That visual dynamism is apparent not only in the live show itself, but throughout the entire DVD. It's divided into three parts, with an "intermission" feat   [ read more ]

Nearly a decade since its release, Endtroducing... remains a watershed of DJ culture thanks to its unique blend of samples from obscure vinyl albums, propulsive beats and moody atmospherics. And this version is jam-packed! Featuring a bonus disc of single versions, a live track recorded in 1997 in England and previously unreleased demos and remixes. Highlights include the Extended Overhaul edit of "Organ Donor" which Shadow created for Mo' Wax founder James Lavelle to use in his DJ sets,   [ read more ]

Five years on from his breakout Endtroducing..., hip-hop's reigning recluse showed he still had plenty of tricks up his sleeve -- as well as many more rare grooves left for sampling. Shadow had kept a low recording profile during past years, putting out only a few mix sets alongside a pair of collaborations (Psyence Fiction by UNKLE and Quannum Spectrum). That lack of product actually helps The Private Press display just how good a producer he is; the depth of his production sens   [ read more ]

Back in 2002, Shadow was asked by the BBC to record a contribution to their famous Essential Mix series, to be broadcast on Radio 1. The gauntlet was thrown, and Shadow was determined to showcase all of the music around him at the moment; contemporary southern rap, garage rock 45s (continuing a thread first started by the Product Placement mix,) and a generous helping of old school hip-hop obscurities. When the two-hour mix was aired, Shadow knew it was bound to be bootlegged, so he pressed up   [ read more ]

"DJ Shadow assembled the singles collection Preemptive Strike as a way for American audiences to catch up on his career prior to his debut album, Endtroducing. The 11-track album contains three new interludes and three complete singles that he released on Mo'Wax -- "In/Flux," "What Does Your Soul Look Like" and "High Noon" -- and a bonus disc, "Camel Bobsled Race," which is a megamix of DJ Shadow material by DJ Q-Bert. Given that Endtroducing was a masterpiece of subtlely shifting texture, Preemptive Str   [ read more ]

With four songs from The Outsider LP included on it, the only real reason to pick up DJ Shadow's Bay Area EP is for the gritty pot-smoker's anthem "Purple Grapes," which features rhymes from the Team. The other exclusive song, the Traxamillion remix of "Turf Dancing," is nowhere near as fun as the original, substituting the crunchy bass line for higher synthesizer riffs, and neither are enough to make up for the number of repeats between the two records. All the pieces on the EP feature   [ read more ]
