Pioneering producer \/ DJ \/ composer DJ Shadow has released his 8th studio album, \u2018Action Adventure\u2019, via Mass Appeal\/Liquid Amber. The album features 14 mostly instrumental tracks that represent a continued evolution for DJ Shadow. It\u2019s a thrilling new addition to an influential body of work defined by a restless ear, always searching to rescue some forgotten gem from the dustbin of music history or a fresh blast of sound from the cutting edge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading up to the release, Shadow has been profiled by\u00a0Stereogum<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0SPIN<\/a>\u00a0and interviewed by Zane Lowe for his\u00a0Apple Music<\/a>\u00a0show (Lowe calls the album \u201ca stunning body of work\u201d). He also recently sat down for a Q&A with Zane Lowe at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles, was interviewed on KCRW\u2019s\u00a0Morning Becomes Eclectic<\/a>, made surprise appearances at recent shows with frequent collaborators Run The Jewels, and DJ\u2019d at Fool\u2019s Gold\u2019s 15th Anniversary party at Public Records in Brooklyn. Upcoming appearances include a hometown Halloween show at 1015 Folsom in San Francisco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has also shared music videos for album singles Ozone Scraper<\/em><\/a> and\u00a0You Played Me<\/em><\/a>\u00a0– two songs that show off the synth-heavy sonic worlds that Shadow explores throughout the record. You Played Me<\/em> was the result of serendipity, dropping the needle on an a capella track of a record he\u2019d never listened to, over a beat that recalls a lost early 80s R&B classic. He says of the track, \u201cit\u2019s one of my favourite songs I\u2019ve ever made.\u201d<\/em> The music video was filmed in a still-operating cassette tape manufacturer in Missouri – National Audio Company – and Shadow has been hiding cassette tapes of the single at indie record stores worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Action Adventure\u2019\u00a0evokes the halcyon days of video store browsing, a fitting title for an album brimming with soundscapes and the menacing, mysterious feel that is laced through all of his work. Making the album, which he started on January 1, 2022, pushed him deeper into his compositional bag than ever before. Though he isn\u2019t classically trained, he asked himself questions like \u201cwhich chord progression would be most natural here, and which would be least predictable?\u201d<\/em> and worked according to the inner logic that felt right to him. His rule for the record was simple: no compromises.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DJ Shadow has been releasing music for over three decades. His landmark debut\u00a0\u2018Endtroducing\u2026..<\/em>\u2019was released in 1996, is considered one of the finest albums of that decade, and continues to influence new generations of artists. In the past few years he\u2019s reached some tremendous new heights. 2016\u2019s\u00a0\u2018The Mountain Will Fall\u2019 featured Nobody Speak<\/em> with Run The Jewels. That single has long since gone gold, has nearly 100 million streams on Spotify, and continues to seep into the public consciousness as a soundtrack to countless spots in film and on TV. He returned in 2019 with\u00a0\u2018Our Pathetic Age\u2019\u00a0– a double LP featuring De La Soul (performing Rocket Fuel<\/em> together on Jimmy Kimmel Live), Nas, Run the Jewels, Pusha T, Inspectah Deck and Ghostface among others. The first disc featured all instrumental, original compositions, a foreshadowing of how\u00a0\u2018Action Adventure\u2019\u00a0would take shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
