DJ Shadow was experimenting with a four-track recorder while in high school in Davis, California (suburb of Sacramento metropolitan area) and began his music career as a disc jockey for the University of California, Davis campus radio station KDVS. During this period he was significant in developing the experimental hip-hop style associated with the London-based Mo’ Wax record label. His early singles, including “In/Flux” and “Lost and Found (S.F.L.)”, were genre-bending, merging elements of funk, rock, hip hop, ambient, jazz, soul, and used-bin found records. Andy Pemberton, a music journalist writing for Mixmag, described the single “In/Flux” as “trip hop,” a term that had already been attached to Bristol, England-based groups Massive Attack and Portishead and the Bristol scene in general in June 1994. He has cited Kurtis Mantronik, Steinski, and Prince Paul as influences on his sample-based sound, further claiming that “lyrics (…) were confining, too specific.” His music rarely features more than short clips of voices or vocal work.

DJ Shadow’s work involves manipulating samples, taking rare and seldom-heard pieces of music and reworking them into parts and phrases for his songs. Many of his tracks feature dozens of samples from a wide array of styles and influences including rock, soul, funk, experimental, electronic and jazz. Shadow famously sampled American composer David Axelrod twice: the piano in “Midnight in a Perfect World” from 1996’s Endtroducing was originally recorded for Axelrod’s “The Human Abstract”; and on his collaboration with DJ Krush, “Duality”, sampling Axelrod’s “The Warnings” (Part 1). Although Shadow currently uses fewer samples than on his earlier albums, several examples feature on 2006 album, The Outsider. His collaboration with David Banner, “Seein’ Thangs”, features a synthesizer and vocals from Cecilia’s “Crimson Red” and “Outsider Intro” includes an excerpt from Ron Geesin’s “Concrete Line Up” from the 1973 album, As He Stands.
Shadow’s first full-length work, Endtroducing….., was released in late 1996 to critical acclaim. Endtroducing would go on to make the Guinness World Records book for “First Completely Sampled Album” in 2001. The only pieces of equipment Shadow used to produce the album were the AKAI MPC60 12-bit sampling drum machine, a pair of turntables and a borrowed-by-visiting Pro Tools setup from an early adopter of the technology, Dan “The Automator” Nakamura. In November 2006 Time magazine named it one of its “All-Time” 100 best albums. In November 2014, automobile maker Chevrolet used a sample of DJ Shadow’s “Building Steam with a Grain of Salt” in a Chevy commercial.
