How the hell do you do that?
Never heard of the guy before (I know, I live under a rock), but I’m firing up Transmission as we speak (type). Very nice.
there’s got to be a better interface for audio mixing than rotating ceramic plates.
That was sick! Another great Trip Hopper that I’ve never heard of. Going to check out his site now.
I agree with Felix, I’m sure using a digital interface with lots of buttons would be just as fun.

According to wikipedia, the term trip hop was coined to describe this guys sound. So apparently he defines trip hop…

DJ Shadow is a GOD! I Can’t get enough of the stuff its damn fantastic!
Besides the great DJ Shadow there are some other great DJing masters: RJD2, Sixtoo, DJ Vadim, DJ Snooze, DJ Cam — and my favorite DJ Krush. Just to name a few… ;)
DJ Shadow is the master! Cut Chemist, Double Dee and Steinski.. classics!

I loved his Private Press tour in 2002. If I only could get a video of his excellent drum video scratching. That was just mind blowing (video and audio samples scratched together from a drum instruction video)
If you didn’t know who is DJ Shadow, maybe you listen too much to Rock music !:) Josh Davis aka DJ Shadow rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Adam, pick up Entroducing; skip his latest album, The Outsider (it’s not the best way to be introduced to Shadow, but strangely enough, Entroducing is ;)). Also, check out UNKLE… Hell, I have to do a podcast with cool music soon!
There’s also Kid Koala that I like a lot. Check it out!
For Dj Shadow you can start with either Entroducing or The Private Press. You might want also to listen Preemptive Strike (a compilation). He’s also done some cool stuff with Dan The Automator, with UNKLE or Cut Chemist.
And yes there is of course the Kid Koala:
‘Carpal Tunnel Syndrome’ and ‘Some of My Best Friends are DJs’ are awesome !
You could also give a chance to Try also J. Dilla ‘Donuts’.
Thank you for posting about Shadow! I love his style and beats, I hope more and more people will get a chance to check his stuff out and he will continue to tour! His mixes with Cutt Chemist are the bomb!
