About

- The Analog Vault // Essential Listening -

A seminal and monumental game changer in the realm of instrumental hip-hop, DJ Shadow’s 1996 debut album on Mo' Wax sounds as fresh and original today as it was over a quarter century ago. While sampling was always a core tenet of beatmaking, this suburban Californian producer took it to levels that nobody ever dreamed of. Limitless and boundaryless, DJ Shadow’s sonic collages here are as abstruse as they are unpredictable.

Pieced together on his Akai MPC60 sampler, a Technics SL-1200 turntable and an Alesis ADAT tape recorder - and built entirely on snippets pulled from obscure vinyl - Endtroducing… is an ever-shifting, ever-restless maelstrom of melancholy and soulful introspection – a masterpiece of its time. - The Analog Vault
