DJ Shadow - Endtroducing...

Back in the mid '90s, DJ Shadow (Josh Davis) painstakingly created Endtroducing over a two-year period using a minimal set up consisting of a sampler, turntable, tape recorder and huge array of vinyl records of all ages and genres. The result is a cinematic, postmodern collage of sound that's received immense acclaim and is regarded as one of the defining albums of the '90s. Instantly recognizable to music fans worldwide thanks to its iconic cover photo — taken by photographer B+ at Shadow's favorite record store in Sacramento, California — Endtroducing has been acknowledged by the Guinness Book Of World Records and influenced countless producers, musicians, bands and artists.

Despite the success of Endtroducing, DJ Shadow has continued to innovate rather than rely on a formula — in the ensuing 25 years, the producer has moved beyond solely sample-based music and collaborated with a wide range of notable names, including Thom Yorke, De la Soul, Little Dragon, Zack de la Rocha, Nas, Run The Jewels, and many others.
