Josh Davis, better known as DJ Shadow, has been a force in instrumental hip-hop for over 30 years. From his groundbreaking debut "Endtroducing…" to his genre-defying releases like "The Private Press" and "The Outsider," Shadow has consistently pushed boundaries. In the 2010s, he collaborated with rap icons like Run the Jewels and Nas, showcasing his eclectic style.
Shadow's latest album, "Action Adventure," is a solo project born during the COVID lockdown. Inspired by nostalgic radio tapes and a desire for musical independence, Shadow crafted an entirely instrumental album. Tracks like "Ozone Scraper" and "You Played Me" showcase his signature sound, blending genres with masterful sampling.
"Action Adventure" takes listeners on a cinematic journey, ending triumphantly with "She’s Evolving." Despite its title, the album is far from cliché, offering a mature and focused experience that reflects Shadow's artistic evolution. As he puts it, this record is about his own musical vision above all else.
