To identify DJ Shadow, you must know that he has little in common with the rest of humanity. This type of incredible modesty, is a real genius of hip-hop. When it began to turn round, Shadow arrived with mountains of vinyl. It has taken this current head-on and has deconstructed the better to rebuild him inventing several parallel lives. Already his first album, Endtroducing, was quickly proved to be an essential part of the last decade..

Since the 80s, he became interested in groups of hip-hop pioneers. While most young people in the suburbs of San Francisco listening to Metallica and others, he swears by Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, Eric B & Rakim, Prince Paul… And there begins his delirium bulimic. With his collection, he left the ice (magic moment of the documentary Scratch, on the history of hip-hop through the DJ’s) looking for vinyl. An ant’s work, which will cause the bastard pop. Mixer which is a priori not mixable.

The flame of DJ Shadow comes from there. His side also unifying. Taking up the torch from pioneers like Africa Bambaataa, it places no limit to his compositions. For him, the rhythm is as important as the melody, and most importantly, it draws its samples in any musical style. The Funkadelic, Kool and the Gang’s 60’s rock voices and guitars, all complemented by beat of abstract hip-hop. An instrumental music that appeals to both fans of hip-hop innovator, the audience of indie rock and electronic music fans. The magic formula of his debut is still valid. A new line of composition. Discuss this album than he had ever done. Change its working methods to achieve a different result, while keeping its bases and its influences.
