DJ Shadow

DJ Shadow has announced a 25th anniversary edition of his landmark debut album, 'Endtroducing', which will arrive on Island Records this month. 

The 1996 record was largely constructed using samples taken from old vinyl releases. Now the celebratory version promises to make those noises better than ever, with audio fully remastered and cut at half speed. According to the label this “results in significantly more detailed, high quality sound." 

DJ Shadow has announced details of a new double album, to be titled 'Our Pathetic Age'.

Taking in 23 tracks in total, the album includes guest appearances from Nas, Run The Jewels, De La Soul and Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah, Raekwon and Inspectah Deck. The first part of the album will be a solo effort, while the second part is devoted to features.

"Despite the title, it's a hopeful, vibrant album," explains DJ Shadow, adding that "there is always light in darkness. I want it to reflect the times we live in, a signpost in the ground to mark the era... Our Pathetic Age."

DJ Shadow is selling parts of his personal record collection at an event at Highland Park in LA next month. The rare opportunity to own music from the legendary producer will go down on November 4^th and 5^th at 5636 York Boulevard in Los Angeles.

The sale will include posters, CDs, cassettes as well as vinyl from the San Francisco-based DJ. Shadow himself promises the records will be sold at “affordable prices” and that the records are “multiples” rather than items he no longer wants.

Making her break as part of Shy FX's Digital Soundboy crew — the first ever Digital Soundgirl — after she relocated from Canada to London during the '00s, Brianna Price has since gone onto become one of the most influential figures in the UK dance scene...

According to Tweets from Shadow himself, the two-hour mix – his first for the station since 2003 – was recorded in two parts. The first hour, put together back in April, focuses on "New beats, new ideas. Lots of Cali stuff," whilst the second half features "Music very dear to my heart that is heretofore unknown. Definitely one for the hip-hop fanatics."

The 12-track LP is Shadow's first since 2011's 'The Less You Know, The Better'. Featuring collaborations with Nils Frahm, Run The Jewels and Matthew Halsall amongst others, it is said to find the producer exploring “new realms”, “deep samples” and “kinetic soundscapes” — promising (if slightly vague) stuff!
