@@trentbateman its also because in entroducing he was using a mpc and sampling. many of his new music is using computers and ableton and just different style of music as a whole. I wish he made a sample based instrumental album again. he could 100% make the same magic. sad he never made one.
This was hand-down the best interview I’ve ever heard with DJ Shadow. The interviewer knew his shit and asked questions I’ve been dying to hear as a fan. I love people who are true hip hop patriots, who know what sounds dope and who have a conversation rather than a status quo interview. Mad respect. I LOVE DJ Shadow. Thanks for asking the right questions.
Endtroducing not only changed my life, it also changed music as a whole. It’s the bravest album of its time and sounds as fresh today as it did in ‘96.
One thing i can point out,which does not connect directly to the whole convertation,is the fact that even though producing and beatmaking has skyrocketed when it comes to technics,turntablism is rotting at the same stuff.Even the gear we get is usually focusing on doing stuff that are already done for years,just easier.Meanwhile gear that opens up the space for new fresh stuff are just slept on,for example reloop released a turntable that allows you to tone shift on the go through shifting the driver speed,pretty much with two of these and two instrumental records you can play piano on turntables,yet the only people that have messed with them are some DJ that are directly working for the company and are messing just for promotional reasons. Turntablism has endless space to come back and hit harder than ever,yet the best DJs are just reproducing and reconsuming the same things we got at early '00.
Great point. Reminds me of what DJ Kentaro in Japan has done. Though I think he was more needle dropping on guitar rifs and quick fades. What brand of tables are those you spoke of? I'm on older Vestex Pdx straight arm decks myself. Thanks
@@tinhatrancher904 Reloop RP-8000 mk2 are the one that have analogue controls over the plates, just like (and inspired by) vestax one or the midi function of PDX 3000. The mk1 give you somewhat of the same controls but only through software. Then there is also the Denon SC5000 M and SC6000 M that are media players with motorized platters,same controls as a midi controller but with the Engine OS of Denon (no pc needed). Finally the loopers right now are going crazy as well as the loops vinyls released lately.
@@gaarakabuto1 thanks for quick reply. Will look into the Reloop RP-8000 mk2. That functionality sounds cool. 😎 I have one Vestex PDX 2000mk2 and one Vestex PDX 2300 with Rane mixer. Cheers
@@gaarakabuto1 those Denons sound cool too. Checked them out. Better than the CDJs, possibility, for more functionally I still also use a Roland Boss 303 for sampling duties.
It made me laugh when he used some one from New Jersey as an example of someone who might not get the Bay area sound. I'm from NJ, and I love your music Dj Shadow. I know it was only an example but I got a kick out it.
@@Eeter26 I've worn the nihilism lens; it doesn't suit anyone. We either search for and utilize tools that improve our well being or we suffer a compulsive intellect. We are only as pathetic as we allow ourselves to be.
Nah, he misses the point. It's not just coz it was most people's debut at hearing him. When he ditched the '60, he lost something and you can feel the difference in the stuff. 26.2 and, indeed, the 4-track stuff too. Limitation DOES breed creativity. Focuses the mind. The cleaner the stuff has got, the newer the equipment used and the more it has the option to be (over-)'produced', the less soul it has. The ears can hear it and the heart and mind know. The reason Neil Young has the sort of longevity he does is coz he made Harvest Moon (a sequel to his most classic album, by the way), at a time when his golden age was just coming back into fashion, and then he got in with the grungers, earning him street cred and a new generation of fans, getting him past his dodgy 80s period and giving him a complete revitalisation. Makes it sound like Harvest Moon was a cynical ploy but it had genuine artistic intent and has some of my fave tracks of his on. Ditch the UNableton!
I agree I’ve even realized for myself personally once I had access to more technology and resources it wasn’t necessarily making my music better or more creative, just more polished, it’s hard to stay primitive nowadays with all the computer programs we have at our disposal

What happened to this guy? He used to be a musical genius? His fans, like me, didn't leave him, he left us. He went from being an ambient, heavy sampling, creative, experimental DJ to being nothing. All of his new stuff is just cheap rap music. His newer albums are just rappers rapping with cheap, generic beats. There is no more sampling or creativity really. After the Private Press & In Tune & On Time, he's not putting out anything good, its like cheap dollar store rap. If this is who he really is, then he was just fooling everyone in the beginning. I'm sure he made millions from that Chevy commercial that used his old song "Building Steam with a grain of salt" .
Mögt ihr Künstler, die ihrem Sound immer komplett treu bleiben oder feiert ihr eher Experimentierfreudige?
BACKSPIN Experimentieren ja, aber im Rahmen ihres musikalischen Spektrums.
Nö
Nein
"Endtroducing..." sounds incredibly good for a producer claiming that he didn't know what he was doing. Respect.
Amazing how he was much better when he didn’t know what he was doing....shows you how too much information can be a bad thing
@@trentbateman Private Press is pretty great as well
@@richardroberson2564 agreed I liked it and it was a good evolution from endtroducing.
Ne, desch fei Klassiko!

Endlich mal wieder stabiles abgenerde mit Falk. Mehr davon!
Entroducing ist absolut legendär.
Das war tatsächlich das Interessanteste was ich in letzter Zeit auf Rap-Platformen vorfinden konnte, vielen Dank dafür!
Absolut. Kam mega unerwartet nach diesen ganzen lächerlichen Gesprächsrunden.

Love the album with UNKLE.
good interviewer

This man produced Midnight in a perfect world on a mpc60 hes a sampling genius
What does your Soul look like pt.1...till i die❤
Ahh such a fun interview! There are still great interviewers in the world! Grace a dieu!
Dope interview. Danke Schön! 🙏
Endtroducing not only changed my life, it also changed music as a whole. It’s the bravest album of its time and sounds as fresh today as it did in ‘96.

Mixtape because you have to play something emotional

I wish we could claim him
