DJ SHADOW REMIX PROJECT ALBUM

DJ Shadow may not have released an artist album since "The Outsider" in 2006 but he's just released an album with remixes that came forward from an ongoing remix project that he started on his website in 2009.

"The DJ Shadow Remix Project began as an experiment to see if we could engage and empower the online remixing community. Initially, Mike (Fiebach, of DJShadow.com) and I figured we'd award a prize through the site, stream a few winning mixes, and leave it at that. Eighty or so submissions later, I started thinking 'Hmm, maybe we should open this up a little.'

"I love this release, more than I ever dreamed I would. I love the lo-fi basement aesthetic of economic's vision, the sophisticated sheen of Randomatik's 'Scatterbrain' mix, the grit and swagger of Irn Mnky. In many cases, new life has been breathed into songs I had long-since resigned to the past, and made them fresh again. You WILL hear these mixes in future shows, and that's the strongest endorsement I can give as a DJ. From one artist to another, thank you for inspiring me."
