DJ Shadow · Tune In
DJ Shadow is the stage name of Joshua Paul Davis (born June 29, 1972), a DJ and record producer born in Hayward and raised on the outskirts of Davis, California. He began mixing as a preteen and developed his craft on a four-track in high school before DJing at UC Davis radio station KDVS. In 1993 he co-founded the SoleSides label alongside Blackalicious and Lyrics Born. Working with an Akai MPC60 sampler, he built music almost entirely from layered vinyl samples; his 1996 debut album, Endtroducing....., is widely regarded as a landmark of instrumental hip-hop. He was also a member of UNKLE and has continued releasing solo work across the decades.
