| CD + download, 76 minute live recording directly off the soundboard. Apparently this recording was orignally put out as a bootleg, but this CD release is officially approved by DJ Shadow. Recorded during Shadow's brief run of DJ dates near the end of 2009, with Shadow in top form mixing all vinyl on 3 decks. The back cover references an amusing quote of Shadow's he recalls giving to a fan conducting an impromptu interview with their iPhone: "Here we are, in the Serato age, with access to millions of songs, and DJ's are still playing the same fifty over and over again... There's something wrong with that." Indeed! So here, you get Shadow songs, electro, hip-hop, dubstep, new techno, drum & bass, heavy metal, and anything else Shadow felt like throwing in the stew, in a remarkably cohesive and adept mix which never fails to thrill and yes, challenge the listener. | |
