I'm actually glad that one, DJ Shadow explained the game a little bit, because I was quite confused. Apparently there is a left and a right turntable. Also, DJ Shadow is a respectable DJ so having him, Eminem & Jay-Z on the project now makes me less weary to buy the game. via 2DopeBoyzNote: oh and add DJ Shadow to my short list of DJs that have made good CDs.
While my wife can wipe the floor with me in Guitar Hero, I kinda like my chances in the upcoming DJ Hero game. DJ Shadow, who apparently is the unofficial spokesman for the game, launched details for it on his site, along with some screen caps. In-game characters include DJ AM and, our favorite, DJ [...]

Shadow will play two festivals - Coachella and Bonnaroo -- and a sprinkling relatively intimate venues including the Fillmore in San Francisco.Tour DatesApr 23, 2007 Crystal Ballroom Portland, OR, USAApr 25, 2007 Empire Sacramento, C...
It was twelve years ago today that DJ Shadow's groundbreaking album Endtroducing was released, and I figured there wasn't a better day to share his music. He's made many albums since 1996, but none of them match the power that he accomplished at his first attempt. In fact, Endtroducing is such an incredible album, I'm almost shocked that it was created only from samples of other records. Thos...
OK. Fine. I admit. I missed this one. I don't know how it happened. Either it didn't make a big splash, or I got stuck playing Endtroducing... I guess both are true. Meanwhile, Josh Davis, who slammed the above mentioned monumental debut back in 1996, returned a decade later with a third DJ Shadow album. The Outsider may surprise (and/or disappoint) any DJ Shadow fan. The album has only a few i...
Last sunday (uuh..two[?] days ago) DJ shadow played the Hollywood Bowl alongside Cut Chemist in a tag team effort dubbed "THE HARD SELL". Where do i even begin......The Show started off with a ten minute explanation about the history and value of old original 45's which were to be the only records spun during the show. For the most part, it was supposed to be a profile showcase of two time te...
So if The Private Press had come out before Endtroducing....., would people think better of it? Or if it had come out less than two years after the debut, do you think DJ Shadow might have fortified his rep and rate higher today? Beats me, but I suspect he (and Press)'d get a little more respect. His latest CD, The Outsider, sadly won't help his cause. It's not necessarily because of Shadow...
There are certain songs that just ooze brilliance. They make you lose words & fill your head with images. This is one of mine. Take a piece of catharsis, dip it in sweet-tasting tears, spray it with sparks & harmony, add a hint of heart-warming melancholy and you'll get the taste.This is a video with a live version of it. I shudder just by the very thought of experiencing this song live."You ca...
While at E3 Jonathan caught up with the legendar DJ to talk about the DJ equivalent of Guitar Hero. Will it be as big a success as its predecessors? Hell, I'd definitely try it out.
DJ Shadow remixed by his turntablin' pal Cut Chemist off the Midnight In A Perfect World EP/Single. Plenty of party friendly breaks and samples thrown in to spice up this Shadow classic. I know I heard a Kashmere Stage Band sample, I am sure that some of you can spot much more. Enjoy...
