DJ Shadow

DJ Shadow became an instant headphone hero in the ’90s with his debut album, Endtroducing…, a stone-cold hip-hop classic that set off nearly two decades of a scene swamped with imitative efforts by fellow sample slayers and turntable terrors. The man himself will be rocking the decks tonight in the East Village, as he tours behind a new release, Our Pathetic Age, an ambitious double album split between instrumentals and rap collabs.
