It’s been 20 years since Josh Davis, aka DJ Shadow, unleashed his trip-hop
hip-hop mixing mastery on the world with the release of his highly acclaimed
debut album Entroducing…. The album took the world by storm and testament to
its genius; the album continues to stand the test of time, cementing DJ
Shadow’s position as one of the world’s most progressive producers and DJ.
Shadow followed up with albums including Pre-emptive Strike, The Private
Press, The Outsider and the Bay Area EP, as well as producing numerous
projects most notably on Mo’ Wax projects with James Lavelle such as UNKLE’s Psyence Fiction, plus working with DJ Krush, Blackalicious, Handsome Boy
Modelling School, DJ Cut Chemist and others.
2016 saw the release of his 5th studio album The Mountain Will
Fall, once again showcasing the evolution and adventure that has defined
Shadow’s career to date. “I try to force myself to change things on every
record, and it’s why I feel that my music will always change,” says Josh. “It’s
a bit preposterous to use old samplers when there’s so much more you can do
with the new ones. We’d never have the amazing music that Miles Davis and
Herbie Hancock did in the 1970s if they’d refused to use new synthesizers,
which really defined what they did. It’s people like that that I look to for
inspiration.”
Now listen to the sound of a mountain falling.
