DJ Shadow (born Joshua Davis, June 29, 1972)[1] is an American music producer, DJ and songwriter. He is considered a prominent figure in the development of instrumental hip hop and first gained notice with the release of his highly acclaimed debut album Endtroducing....., which was constructed entirely from samples. He has an exceptionally large record collection, with over 60,000 records.[2]

DJ shadow was probably one of the first things I listened to that made me really conscious of samples in music. I am always especially excited when something non-hip-hop that I listen to gets mixed in and I notice. It's like my little secret with the artist. Well, DJ Shadow used Björk...and of course it was awesome.
