He’ll be taking to the stage off the back of his This Mountain Will Fall tour, celebrating 20 years since his seminal album Entroducing took the world by storm. Decades on, he’s forged a name for himself as one of the most progressive producers of his generation.
This Mountain Will Fall is DJ Shadow’s fifth studio release, showcasing the evolution and experimentation that has led him to where he is today.
“I try to force myself to change things on every record, and it’s why I feel that my music will always change,” says DJ Shadow. “It’s a bit preposterous to use old samplers when there’s so much more you can do with the new ones. We’d never have the amazing music that Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock did in the 1970s if they’d refused to use new synthesizers, which really defined what they did. It’s people like that that I look to for inspiration.”
