dj shadow简介：Dj Shadow原名Josh Davis，来自三藩市，James听过他在美国公司Hollywood Basic所发表的作品后，把他带到英国，罗至Mo’Wax旗下，成为Mo’Wax的开国功臣。 James曾跟不同的音乐类型的厂牌合作过，像Warp，Cup Of Tea，Ninja Tune等，喜欢Trip Hop的乐迷一定很熟悉这三个厂牌，这三个厂牌旗下的乐队多少都和Trip Hop有些相关，Warp旗下的Red Snapper的部分作品就有点接近Trip Hop。作为较早一批玩实验Hip Hop的DJ，Dj Shadow同样拒绝了讨好大众的Rap，而是进一步放慢鼓机的节奏，并且喜欢加入Jazz音乐元素，这点对后来的instrumental Hip Hop的DJ们等人都产生了很大的影响。 by Sean CooperDJ Shadows Josh Davis is widely credited as a key figure in developing the experimental instrumental hip-hop style associated with the London-based Mo Wax label. His early singles for the label, including In/Flux and Lost and Found (S.F.L.), were all-over-the-map mini-masterpieces combining elements of funk, rock, hip-hop, ambient, jazz, soul, and used-bin incidentalia. Although hed already done a scattering of original and production work (during 1991-1992 for Hollywood Records) by the time Mo Waxs James Lavelle contacted him about releasing In/Flux on the fledgling imprint, it wasnt until his association with Mo Wax that his sound began to mature and cohere. Mo Wax released a longer work in 1995 — the 40-minute single in four movements What Does Your Soul Look Like, which topped the British indie charts — and Davis went on to co-write, remix, and produce tracks for labelmates DJ Krush and Dr. Octagon plus the Mo trip-hop supergroup UNKLE.Davis grew up in Hayward, CA, a predominantly lower-middle-class suburb of San Francisco. The odd white suburban hip-hop fan in the hard rock-dominated early 80s, Davis gravitated toward the turntable/mixer setup of the hip-hop DJ over the guitars, bass, and drums of his peers. He worked his way through hip-hops early years into the heyday of crews like Eric B. & Rakim, Ultramagnetic MCs, and Public Enemy, groups that prominently featured DJs in their ranks. Davis had already been fiddling around with making beats and breaks on a four-track while he was in high school, but it was his move to the NorCal cow town of Davis to attend university that led to the establishment of his own Solesides label as an outlet for his original tracks. Hooking up with Davis few b-boys (including eventual Solesides artists Blackalicious and Lyrics Born) through the college radio station, Shadow began releasing the Reconstructed from the Ground Up mixtapes in 1991 and pressed his 17-minute hip-hop symphony Entropy in 1993. His tracks spread widely through the DJ-strong hip-hop underground, eventually catching the attention of Mo Wax. Shadows first full-length, Endtroducing..., was released in late 1996 to immense critical acclaim in Britain and America. Preemptive Strike, a compilation of early singles, followed in early 1998.Later that year, Shadow produced tracks for the debut album by UNKLE, a longtime Mo Wax production team that gained superstar guests including Thom Yorke (of Radiohead), Richard Ashcroft (of the Verve), Mike D (of the Beastie Boys), and others. His next project came in 1999, with the transformation of Solesides into a new label, Quannum Projects. Nearly six years after his debut production album, the proper follow-up, The Private Press, was released in June 2002. The following year Shadow released a mix album, Diminishing Returns, and in 2004 he released a live album and DVD, Live! In Tune and on Time. In 2006 his long-awaited third solo album, The Outsider, came out, but instead of following the blueprint he used on his past two records, Shadow enlisted help from Bay Area rappers like Keak da Sneak, E-40, and Lateef, as well as David Banner and Q-Tip.
