(HIP HOP)DJ Shadow is a legend, and someone for other DJ's to aspire to be. His level of success runs straight to the top through different countries, crews, and genres. A celebrated turntablist, one of the pioneers of the 'Trip Hop' sound, a massive man in hip hop, and known to dabble heavily in the breaks, he reps the Solesides/Quannum crew with Lyrics Born, Gift of Gab, Lateef the Truth Speaka, and Chief Xcel, and him and James Lavelle make up UNKLE.
This article is a little out dated, it came out when he released his last album - The Outsider - back in 06, but regardless, its a good interview with a good man, and worth checking to see where the mans at and where he's been.
