DJ Shadow set

I'm pleased to announce THE LIQUID AMBER EP. This single/EP serves as the opening salvo in what I hope is a long string of music, by myself and others, on my new imprint: LIQUID AMBER. There's two new songs, "Ghost Town" and "Mob," and a nifty remix of "Six Days" by Machinedrum.

"Ghost Town" is an ambitious ride through many of the micro-genres within the Future Bass umbrella that have inspired me recently, while "Mob" is an intentionally stripped-down, Cali-certified head-nodder. Both songs were written, programmed, and mixed by myself, and they represent the forward steps I feel I've taken as an engineer. The "Six Days" remix was something I asked Machinedrum to knock out as a tour weapon, and he crushed it (naturally), so I felt it deserved a proper release.

I'm excited about this music and the new imprint, and I really appreciate everyone's time and consideration.

“The Mountain Will Fall” is available immediately with pre-order of the album here: https://DJShadow.lnk.to/TMWFSo
DJ Shadow, widely acknowledged as a crucial figure in the development of experimental, instrumental hip-hop, will return with ‘The Mountain Will Fall’ worldwide on June 24 via Mass Appeal Records [and Believe Digital in France], his first full length release since 2011.  The 12-track album finds DJ Shadow exploring new realms in addition to the deep samples and kinetic soundscapes that helped to launch his career 20 years ago.  On ‘The Mountain Will Fall’ he’s shifted further toward original composition, a vast experimentation of beats and textures, synthesizers and live instruments including horns and woodwinds.  The album features Run The Jewels, Nils Frahm, Matthew Halsall, Ernie Fresh and more.

"A clever dubstep reworking of 'Mongrel Meets His Maker' by Sonotech." - DJ Shadow

Mongrel Meets His Maker (DJ Shadow) Remix By Sonotech

"I really have no specific memory of putting this mix together, or for what purpose. Nonetheless, 'Live In NYC' is what Dat tape says, so I'll go with it. It's a decent representation of me behaving myself and in non-confrontation mode, sticking to a script and playing primarily brand new rap of the era. I remember being kind of proud of the Fantasy Three into De La intro."- DJ Shadow

DJ Shadow Spinning Live In NYC, 1996

"Some time in 1985, I stumbled across a station playing 'The Roof Is On Fire' by Rock Master Scott & The Dynamic Three, cursing and all. Thus began my initiation into the world of college radio. The first DJ at KDVS to have a rap show was named Oras Washington, and he became an important mentor. I made this brief mix and rode my bike down to the station to hand-deliver the tape. It's pretty rough, but it's a good snapshot of what I was into: East Coast and West Coast rap (not to mention a bit of London) and some James Brown thrown in for good measure."- DJ Shadow

From The DJ Shadow Archives - KDVS 1988 Mix

"This was something I put together to hype up the Solesides Greatest Bumps project, and parts of it ended up dovetailing into our live show at the time."- DJ Shadow

From The DJ Shadow Archives - Quannum Megamix 2000

"We were on one of our many tours of the UK and Europe during this time frame, and stopped by Zane Lowe's show. All of us were crammed into a tiny session room, and went live right to air...no mistakes allowed. This was probably my favorite era in which to DJ, everyone was still using vinyl exclusively and just having fun, scratching like mad. It was me and Chief XCel on the turntables, and Gift Of Gab, Lyrics Born, and Lateef The Truthspeaker on the mic." - DJ Shadow

From the DJ Shadow Archives - DJ Shadow & The Quannum Crew Live on BBC Radio 1 (2000)

"Zane and the Apple team politely extended a promotional opportunity around the release of 'The Mountain Will Fall' in the form of my own Beats1 mini-series. Each show was designed to illuminate the listener to different facets of my career up until that point. I basically had three hours to bring people up to speed so that the new album had context. At one point they asked me what I was going to name it, and I had a funny picture of a guy in my phone, so I used his image and added the hashtag '#Radioface,' for whatever reason. The name didn't really stick, but it was fun putting these together. "- DJ Shadow

From the DJ Shadow Archives - Beats1 Show #2 (2016)

"In 2009, I was asked to play the video game convention E3 in support of the release of Activision's DJ Hero. There were only two rules: include some of the mash-ups I made for the game, and no cursing please. I obliged (mostly), and there's some fun moments....recorded several months before the 2009 Halloween set, this is less about the dance floor than an attempt to reference the broader contributions of the DJ and DJ-based music. Watch out for the Coldplay/Bonecrusher mash-up, which is one of my favorite things I ever did."- DJ Shadow

From The DJ Shadow Archives - E3 All Vinyl Set Part 2 (2009)

"For a brief time beginning in early 1991, for one hour a month, I was able to command the airwaves of the largest urban radio station in San Francisco...and my agenda was to bring the real.  These were among the first all-rap (no R&B, no crossover) to ever air on commercial radio in the Bay Area.  It was made on my 4-track cassette recorder, and I threw the kitchen sink at it.  Dedicated to my mixshow heroes who came before me: Michael Erickson, Dave Moss, Theo, Cameron Paul, Alexander Mejia, and King Tech."- DJ Shadow

DJ Shadow KMEL Mix #1 (1991)

"Based on the favorable listener response to the first mix, I was invited back for more. If you thought the first mix was wild, this one is even further out there. Maybe TOO out there, based on the grumbling at the station during the first few minutes (ha). Much love to everyone at KMEL who allowed a young teenager with big ideas the opportunity to do something different."- DJ Shadow

Party We Will Throw Now! - Warren G, Nate Dogg, Game

"Back in December of 2019, I was asked by the good people at BBC Radio 6Music to prepare a January 1st radio show. The brief was out of the norm, which appealed to me: they wanted a daytime show, and the theme was 'tender music for tender heads...' something to soothe the body and soul. It gave me a chance to air some favorites from the collection that I don't normally get to play. If the body and soul needed soothing then, it DEFINITELY needs it now. Enjoy!"- DJ Shadow
