[DISCUSSION] DJ Shadow - Endtroducing (25 Years Later)

Posted: 03 Nov 2021 11:32 AM PDT

Note: this album was actually released on September 16th, 1996, but as nobody ever made an anniversary thread for this classic album I thought it was right to make one two months later.

From Wikipedia:

DJ Shadow began production on Endtroducing in 1994 in his California apartment, before moving to the Glue Factory, the San Francisco home studio of his colleague Dan the Automator.[13] Shadow strove to create an entirely sample-based album.[2] His setup was minimal, with only three main pieces of equipment: an Akai MPC60 sampler, a Technics SL-1200 turntable, and an Alesis ADAT tape recorder.[2] The MPC60 was used for almost all composition.[14] DJ Shadow bought it in 1992 at the suggestion of DJ Stretch Armstrong, who recommended it as a more advanced alternative to the "industry standard" sampler at the time, the E-mu SP-1200; according to DJ Shadow, the SP-1200 "had been around for like four years, the sound was well established, and it had some real audio limitations in terms of the bit rate and stuff".[14]

DJ Shadow sampled vinyl albums and singles accumulated from his trips to Rare Records, a record shop in his native Sacramento, where he spent several hours each day searching for music.[15] His routine is depicted in the 2001 documentary film Scratch.[16] The Endtroducing album cover is a photograph taken at Rare Records by B Plus, showing producer Chief Xcel and rapper Lyrics Born (the latter wearing a wig), who like DJ Shadow were members of the SoleSides collective.[15][17][18] ABB Records founder Beni B (wearing a baseball cap) is also seen in the full version of the photograph, which appears in the album's liner notes.[17]

Endtroducing samples music of various genres, including jazz, funk, and psychedelia, as well as films and interviews.[19] DJ Shadow programmed, chopped, and layered samples to create tracks.[20] He opted to sample more obscure selections, making it a rule to avoid sampling popular material.[2] Though he also used samples of prominent artists such as Björk and Metallica,[21] DJ Shadow said that "if I use something obvious, it's usually only to break my own rules."[2] Minor vocal contributions were provided by Lyrics Born and another SoleSides member, rapper Gift of Gab,[22] as well as DJ Shadow's then-girlfriend Lisa Haugen.[23] He finished recording Endtroducing in early 1996.

DJ Shadow describes his albums as "really varied", and said of Endtroducing: "I feel like 'Organ Donor' sounds nothing like 'The Number Song' which sounds nothing like 'Midnight' and on and on."[25] He said he was often depressed during the production of the album and that his "feelings of self-doubt and self-esteem come through in the music."[26][27]

Endtroducing is opened by "Best Foot Forward", a sound collage of record scratches and hip hop vocal samples.[24] "Building Steam with a Grain of Salt" is built around a looped piano line sampled from Jeremy Storch's "I Feel a New Shadow",[28] with various other musical elements entering throughout the track, including samples of an interview with drummer George Marsh,[28] a women's choir, bass fills, electronically altered drum kicks, and funk guitar.[19][29] "The Number Song" uses multiple drum breaks and vocal samples of count-offs.[30] "Changeling" deviates from the previous uptempo tracks, incorporating new-age sounds and gradually building toward a "sublimely spacey" coda.[24][31] It segues into the first of three "transmission" interludes placed throughout the album, each featuring a sample from the 1987 film Prince of Darkness.[32] "What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 4)" layers wordless chants over a looped bass groove, creating what Paste's Mark Richardson describes as an "uneasy" techno soundscape.[33] Track six is an untitled interlude featuring a man reciting a monologue about a woman and her sisters over a funk backing.[34]

The two-part "Stem/Long Stem" begins the second half of Endtroducing. John Bush of AllMusic called the track a "suite of often melancholy music, a piece that consistently refuses to be pigeonholed into any musical style."[35] The first half, "Stem", sets strings against a recurring sequence of erratic drum beats, before giving way to the more ethereal "Long Stem",[24] followed by "Transmission 2". "Mutual Slump" features "dreamy" female spoken vocals and prominent samples of Björk's "Possibly Maybe".[23][36] The sparse "Organ Donor" juxtaposes an organ solo and a drum break.[24] "Why Hip Hop Sucks in '96" is a brief interlude featuring a repeating G-funk-esque beat, over which a voice shouts "It's the money".[24][37] DJ Shadow composed the track to express his dissatisfaction with the state of commercial hip hop music in the mid-1990s.[37]

"Midnight in a Perfect World" mixes a soulful vocal line with a slow drum beat.[24][38] It samples the bassline from Pekka Pohjola's "The Madness Subsides",[39] as well as elements of David Axelrod's piano composition "The Human Abstract".[40] "Napalm Brain/Scatter Brain" progresses slowly, starting with a bassline and a drum loop, then gradually increasing in tempo as additional instrumentation enters the mix.[24] The track eventually reaches its climax and deconstructs itself, leaving a single string sample playing by its conclusion.[29] Endtroducing ends "on an up note" with "What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 1 – Blue Sky Revisit)", which is anchored by warm saxophone and keyboard hooks.[33] A third and final "transmission" closes the album with the spoken words "It is happening again", sampled from the television series Twin Peaks.[41]

Some discussion points:

  • Where were you when you first heard this album? Favorite songs?

  • How otherworldly does the production still sound 25 years since its release? Is Midnight In A Perfect World still one of the greatest sounds anyone has ever created?

  • DJ Shadow is sometimes considered a one album wonder due to every album released by him being eclipsed by him striking gold on his first release. Do you think this is fair and if not what other releases of his do you think live up to Endtroducing?

  • Is this still the gold standard for sampling as an art form to you?

Towards the start of the year TDE President Punch announced a new group that he was starting 'aroomfullofmirrors' - It was unknown at the time if this was just a side project or if they would be affiliated with TDE, looks like they will be affiliated with TDE.

They also did an AMA on the subreddit.

  • Punch (TDE President/Occasional Rapper)
  • Nick Grant (Released 'God Bless The Child' EP last year - Produced by Tae Beast)
  • Daylyt (Known Battle Rapper/Troll)
