DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist - Product Placement On Tour (2004)

After the soul ballads warm up the party, drop this deep funk dance floor mix for the prime time party

"Sometimes even I'm a little baffled by my choices as a DJ...we were invited to Steve LeMac's radio show in support of the Unkle album, so what do I play? Miami bass! Electro! And some Demon Boyz for ya! It doesn't make a lot of contextual sense, but at least I had fun. This was completely live, direct to air. " - DJ Shadow

From The DJ Shadow Archives -DJ Shadow (UNKLE) Live BBC Evening Session (1998)

"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

In 2009, I consulted for, and appeared in, Activision's DJ Hero video game.   As part of my involvement, I performed at quite a few industry events and eventually did a couple of club dates.  Some of these sets were more rehearsed than others, and the quality varied.  This one, recorded live on Halloween night at a KCRW benefit, was far and away my favorite of the bunch...both in terms of technical display and song selection.  I'll post some of the other recorded sets later, there's some nice moments along the way.- DJ Shadow

DJ Shadow Live in Los Angeles, CA - Halloween, 2009

"Without a doubt the most technically-involved set I've ever been a part of.  Eight turntables, often all playing at once, with our feet controlling loop pedals.  We had toured versions of the set on and off for nearly two years, and by this point we were pretty much at our peak.  Cut and I have occasionally discussed doing another 45 set, but we always come back to the same conclusion: 'We'll never be able to top The Hard Sell!" - DJ Shadow

From The DJ Shadow Archives - DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist Live in Portland (July 2008)

Solid Steel (24th May) Following on from last year's treatment of 'Paul's Boutique' (by DJ Food, Cheeba and Moneyshot), United States of Audio does the same with De la Soul's groundbreaking album 3 Feet High and Rising. It's not just a mix, but more like an audio documentary about an album that is also about to celebrate it's 25th anniversary. In his own words;
'Several years in the making and including around 100 tracks, this is my personal tribute to De La Soul's '3 Feet High and Rising'. Using original sample sources, album tracks, interviews and rarities, 'How High's The Water Mama' tells the story of one of hip hop's most influential albums.
When De La Soul's debut album dropped in 1989 I was ten years old. Yet, by some stroke of amazing good fortune a cassette copy of '3 Feet High and Rising' found its way into my hands thanks to my best mate's older brother (though I'm pretty sure said brother had no idea of this fact!). The music was a revelation and had a significant influence in shaping my musical tastes - in fact I can't think of any other album that has had such a profound effect on me as this one. Thus '3 Feet High and Rising' holds a special place in my musical affections. Now, some twenty-five years after its original release, it's time to pay my respect to Pos, Dove, Mase, and Prince Paul...'

Respect and thanks to DJ Moneyshot for providing the original inspiration for the mix, Strictly Kev for sample sourcing, design work and general encouragement, DJ Cheeba for keeping me on my toes, Chris Binstead (wherever you may be) for his great taste in music and for unwittingly exposing my young ears to '3 Feet High and Rising' in the first place, and of course, to Dave Jolicoeur, Kelvin Mercer, Vincent Mason and Paul Huston without whom none of this would be possible.

Solid Steel Radio Show 24/5/2013 Part 1 + 2 - United States of Audio

"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
