DJ Shadow changed the world of hip hop with this plunderphonic magnum opus. Josh Davis created his debut album 'Endtroducing' completely out of samples, a first according to 'Guinness World Records'. Showing off his record collection and bringing together such diverse sources as jazz, soul, metal, alternative, rap, new age, folk, rock, horror movies, documentaries, and just about anything that struck his fancy; Davis meticulously transformed his obscure samples into an amazingly cohesive sonic dreamscape using an Akai MPC60 (Musical Instrument Digital Interface Production Center 60). Davis says: "All of the music I’ve ever been drawn to has been really immediate and raw. And at the same time, it’s usually well-arranged and conceived. That doesn’t mean hiring a 50-piece orchestra and all of that pretentious shit. It could be one person and a guitar, and be amazing in the same way. I like work that’s unapologetically audacious; everything from productions by people like Trevor Horn to albums that I name-drop all the time, like '3 Feet High and Rising', 'a Nation of Millions', Dr. Dre’s production for N.W.A. None of that stuff is just tossed together, and let’s hope for the best. You never perceive mistakes of bad decisions. You just nod your head and it builds inside of you."
