Imagine what kind of musical ears Dj Shadow has to make such an album entirely out of samples from differens records.Mindblowing!
So inspiring!
nobody ever mentions Deltron 3030 when they talk about Dan the Automator.. that album is sensational
Yep tripped me too. It tripped me out even more when I found out endtroducing was recorded in dan the Automator studio. I found out from dans episode of crate diggers
Extra information about one of the sources: The drum sample from Pugh Rogefeldt's record: The drummer was Janne "Loffe" Carlsson who previously was part of the duo Hansson & Karlsson. They had some cooperation with Jimi Hendrix. Carlsson died in 2017 and Rogefeldt last night (=the reason I found this video)
Nice video. Entroducing is a masterpiece
One of the best albums around, no doubt. Thanks for distilling all this into a video--love it!
I love this series.
I love these deconstruction videos.
They make me appreciate music as the union of art and craftmanship it is.
Utterly enjoyable content.
This is soooooo dope! Thanks so much, Ski!
Song choice is always excellent
nice one Ski. Great series. Our thoughts are with the victims of the Barcelona attack. Music as the mechanism for peace.
educational, exciting and inspiring, thank you.
fantastic, thanks for uploading
Really great series! I'd love to see you do something from the Beastie Boys. Something from Paul's Boutique would be a good challenge.
Ohhhhhh. Very nice. Thank you.
DJ Shadow didn't use the Bjork sample the way this guy was doing, he sampled one version where the ringing phone sample was removed for clearance issue.
Yep, Björk sampled Scanner in that song (from the 1994 album Mass Observation). Later versions of Björks album Post lacked the ringing phone sample.
Deconstructing Burial please!
Dude, this is so fucking cool. What a great idea. Love. It.
One of my favourite albums, it transforms for any mood and occasion, this vid also makes it seem far easier and far less work than it actually would have been back, the amount of work it took back then was ridiculous, look him up in the scratch documentary the guys a composer/genius
One of my favorite tracks ever. Also building a steam with a grain of salt on this list
very very good
YOU're the best :)
MORE LIKE THIS.
I'm watching at home on my PC, and I clapped Ski at the end. :)
He used the mpc 60 mk2
This is awesome. If you do RJD2...demigod status!! 🙌🏾
woww !!
"he scoured all the record shops in LA"
(facepalm)
Shadow is from the Bay. And ... oh, forget it.
ceounicom 🤣🤣🤣
Not even the bay, he's from Davis. He got almost all the samples from that first album from Records Records on K st in Sacramento, Ca. Definitely not LA or SF.
Digging in the crates
Oh wow I always thought there was more work involved in programming those drums. But no - just carefully curated samples and and MPC.. I've always loved this track though
thank you so much point blank music school
The vibes and flute track, is that a sample taken from a record, say a Herbie Mann record? Or was that played with a synth keyboard and recorded in?

Just based on my own listening, I don't think he sliced the drums into individual notes. The beat directly after the song's intro sounds like it begins with the full third and fourth beats of the two-bar drum pattern you isolated (BSBB S-B-).
id love to take part on point blank's courses. unfortunately, I have to eat and pay the rent.
silly artist, teachings are for the rich / wealthy ONLY
are you dumb
Very nice. Now try number song in ableton (I'll wait)
Do mt st Michael by Aphex Twin
I feel as though Aphex Twin isn't talked about enough
search Digiphex Electronics channel for AFX deconstcructions
where the flute and vibes samples were taken from?
Anatoly Ice still unknown. crazy to think that people still haven't found some of the samples on Endtroducing, really goes to show how obscure the material he used was.

Yoahrr
No 808 cowbell...
How about teaching a track by just asking students to FEEL the music? Can break it down as much as you like, doesn’t mean Jack if you don’t feel the music itself
i can't believe it's Bjork he sampled...i was listening to both of their albums at the time and i never even noticed...such a fuckin' dreamer!?!?
Eye Make up?
?
I think they're known as 'glasses'.
This track was featured in song exploder in SoundCloud. Nothing new here other than ableton tricks.
He didn't even list all of the samples used in this song
He probably doesn't even remember them all from memory haha. He's said in interviews he often doesn't know the music he's choosing to sample at all, but that he looks for what will work with the song he's trying to make.
Great vid. But what the fuck is that hat?
LOL apologies for the hat - it was lying around in our Barca Airbnb so I thought I'd wear it for a laugh
it always fascinates me how musicians like DJ Shadow got away with basically stealing pieces of audio (aka sampling) from other tracks/songs and using them in their own productions which then got released officially and no one said a word about them violating the copyrights or some shit... if I sample a record by Bjork and try to release it I might get sued. What's the deal? What's the catch? Where is the gap in the law, where's the grey area?
He made something legendary that's the difference
Shadow got permission from Bjork’s label to use the sample. That sample is credited in the liner notes of the album. You’ll get sued if you sample Bjork and release it because you didn’t get permission to use it. Simple stuff.
The difference is the laws changed bro.
@@jaydoe647 It was a mix of different things. You have to remember he was small time (and technically still somewhat is), he used a lot of obscure samples that many people don't recognize today, and according to an NPR interview his record cleared at least the most recognizable and most used samples (one of them being Bjork.)
@@arkennoren0 yea 1 of them was also mixing folks who don't carrers anymore, hence Shadow
This was very interresting. To be honest, i loved DJ Shadows Endtroducin for a long time. What i see here is really dissapointing to me. Here he just jacked other peoples work and not even did something creative with it, just pitched it a bit and put together. This here just remains the original character of the samples. This is other peoples work and credit... I would be ashamed to put something like this out with my name
Reconquer Europe that is modern music in a nutshell. Shadow is most definitely a capable "musician" in the classical sense. He just chose to sample records for his work. The way I explain this to people is that the artist is taking these songs you likely have not heard and painted a mural. Combining different elements (paints) and changing the shade to create their own product. It's art in its own right. You appreciated it at one point. It inspired you. I like king crimson 21st century scitz man but I like power by Kanye more. It's all subjective I guess but it's a shame you no longer appreciate shadows album.
shadow also plays his own drums, clearly very rhythmic, musical, and original/personal
Reconquer Europe
I don't see how combining three few second samples of different genres and making them into fluid song isn't creative. But to each his own.
He IS creative but yea he's not as clever as he seems if you know the samples, The clever part was finding the samples re editing them and putting them together.

People put Shadow on a higher pedestal than most considering how popular and influential Endtroducing is. For a lot of people I know. That’s the few major sample based instrumental records they know.
I love Shadow and i still consider a lot of his work as god tier sampling.
But what people have done nowadays with samples is completely mind blowing.
