The Loft
Atlanta, GA


Atlanta has enjoyed a slew of impressive DJs and producers coming through as of late, and DJ Shadow is certainly no exception.

For some reason I always thought he was British, but it turns out that Josh Davis is in fact from Davis, California. He began his DJ career on air with UC Davis radio station KDVS. On the side he was cutting tracks and make innovations in instrumental hip-hop and sampling.

Speaking of sampling, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, DJ Shadow's debut full-length "Endtroducing" was the "First Completely Sampled Album" ever!

Since that record came out in 1996, DJ Shadow has colloborated with scores of artists and producers, including DJ Cut Chemist who will be appearing with him at The Loft!
