DJ Shadow – The 4-Track Era

There’s a very cool limited edition release from DJ Shadow out there that’s slowly been appearing on the torrent scene. It’s 4 volume set of his early mixes that he originally made on his, you guessed it, 4-track recorder.

My favourite here is the first volume prepared in 1991 for a Bay Area radio station, which consists of two long streams of upbeat hip-hop remixed in an already recogniseable Shadow moody manner. The second disc has got his mixes of the best music from the early 90s era.

I’ll update this post when I find the remaining two volumes.
