Watch lost footage of DJ Shadow in the studio, 1995

Sampling legend DJ Shadow will, next week, release a new rarities collection.

Titled Total Breakdown: Hidden Transmissions from the MPC Era, it captures Shadow at his rawest, from 1992 up until the release of his seminal 1996 debut album Endtroducing. It also includes material made with Blackalicious MC Gift of Gab.

To celebrate this, Beatport editorial site Beatportal are hosting a week of DJ Shadow coverage, including an interview with the man himself (you can read a recent Shadow interview with FACT here). Until then, enjoy this recently unearthed footage of Shadow in the studio, circa 1995, where he scratches, knocks out some beats on the MPC, and reveals just how small the floorspace to records ratio of his studio is. You’d be disappointed if it was tidy, right?

In other recent Shadow news, he’s teamed up with torrenting giants BitTorrent in an attempt to monetise the torrent system. You can read more about that here.
