DJ Shadow is without doubt one of my favourite mixologists. This mix goes back to the original source material and showcases some of the artists who have featured in his samples.
A bit of background - Shadow's first full-length work, Endtroducing....., was released in late 1996 to critical acclaim. Endtroducing would go on to make the Guinness World Records book for "First Completely Sampled Album" in 2001. The only pieces of equipment Shadow used to produce the album were the AKAI MPC60 12-bit sampling drum machine, a pair of turntables and a borrowed Pro Tools setup.
What occurred to me putting this mix together was the amazing eclecticism of Shadow’s sample sources: jazz, funk, soul, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, folk, classical and everything in between. So if you are a Shadow fan or just curious, have a listen, there is bound to be something you like and perhaps something you really love. Enjoy…
