I saw DJ Shadow perform last Sunday and was blown away by the inventive audio/visual experience. My expectations were exceeded, and then some. It is so inspiring to see an artist continue to push the envelope again and again. Here is a sample of his recent "Shadowsphere" tour:



One of my all time favorite Shadow tracks is "Midnight In A Perfect World". I think it is the ultimate atmospheric/ambient hip-hop song:



Here is a list of the samples. It amazes me how well the different records work together. DJ Shadow makes your DJ look like an amateur.

Clean imagery, lurking trip-hop drums, ethereal vocals, and Sarah Barthel is BEAUTIFUL.
