DJ Shadow

It’s been a decade and a half since DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing blurred the lines between crate-digging hip-hop and big-bang electronica, but Shadow has since made strong moves into ragged, cinematic rock and collaborations with live MCs. The producer’s drawn-out process means that his studio releases are few and far between. But last September finally saw the release of The Less You Know, The Better, Shadow’s first studio LP since 2006’s The Outsider.
