Video: Lost footage of DJ Shadow in the studio (1995)

DJ Shadow is prepping to release a collection of his earliest unreleased MPC productions. The album, Total Breakdown: Hidden Transmissions from the MPC Era (1992-1996), can be pre-ordered in a variety of packages from over at DJShadow.com.

The beats on this forthcoming collection will be a journey into the musical mind of a budding genius just before the release of his first masterpiece. Endtroducing was released in 1996, and in this recently uploaded video, we can get a taste for Shadow’s home studio work space. Talk about mountains of records! Don’t miss out on this piece of instrumental hip hop history.
