Massive Attack Block Party Mix | BBC 6 Music

3 years in the making, 3 DJs working with over 150 tracks to recreate one of the seminal sampling albums of all time. Cheeba, Moneyshot and I bring you ‘Caught In The Middle Of A 3-Way Mix’, our tribute to the classic Beastie Boys album ‘Paul’s Boutique’. Remixed and re-imagined from all the original samples plus a cappellas, period interviews and the Beasties’ own audio commentary from the reissued release.

Add to this a custom illustration from Paul’s Boutique super-fan and all-round great guy Jim Mahfood, and you have an alternate version of the album. The mix was over half way finished when we heard the tragic news of Adam Yauch‘s passing this May so this is also our nod to his memory, RIP MCA.

Big respect to Cheeba and Moneyshot for all their hard work and for the latter for inspiring the project with his classic mix of their ‘Check Your Head’ three years ago. Obviously massive respect goes out to The Beasties, The Dust Brothers, Mario C. and all involved in the making of the original album.

Caught In The Middle of A 3-Way Mix

Brainfreeze - DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist

The Chemical Brothers (or Dust Brothers as they were at the time) live at The Albany, London.

Sunday 14th August 1994.

Recorded on DAT by Robin Turner.

The jump into Boops at 27.52 is because the DAT was removed in order for Tom and Ed to play music they'd made in the studio that week (instrumental of Life is Sweet often got played around this time). Any record jumps were caused by people banging into the decks, or pogoing! (I'm guilty as charged in Voodoo People). Last record cuts off due to the DAT running out. 

Big up all the Heavenly Sunday Social crew.

Enjoy x

The Chemical Brothers (Dust Brothers) Live At The Heavenly Sunday Social - 14th Aug 1994

"I had a blast putting this show together, and just threw everything I had at it. Hopefully the effort shows the level of my respect for Gilles...I didn't want to come with anything less than my best. I'm particularly proud of the mixes. I think it's safe to say that a definitive playlist of this show could never/ will never be accomplished." - DJ Shadow

From the DJ Shadow Archives - Gilles Peterson 6 Music Takeover 2018 (Hour 1)

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)

"Shortly after finishing my 2016 album 'The Mountain Will Fall,' I was given the prestigious task of preparing my second Essential Mix for BBC Radio1.  It had been nearly 15 years since my first go-round, so I felt obligated to go all the way in. This first part was all about the new, showcasing my favorite underground beats & stuff.  As with my first Essential Mix, the gears shift radically at the halfway mark, so it seemed to make sense in a streaming context to let this power-hour stand on its own."
