DJ Shadow @ The Phoenix, Saturday

Following the smashing success of The Mountain Will Fall, DJ Shadow (returning to Toronto to spin at The Phoenix on Saturday) has announced the release of a 20th Anniversary re-release of Entroducing in a special ENDTROSPECTIVE Edition, due October 28. You can pre-order the 6LP vinyl box, 3CD digipak versions and limited edition 12" remixes directly from DJ Shadow's site right here.

Says our man Shadow...
“As a music lover, my favorite records always have some hallmarks of an era, but also sound as if they could have been made almost any time within a 20 year time span. I’ve always felt that as someone who buys a lot of records and sits there and studies them and kind of vibes off them, I also feel like once you put something out into the world, it can be discovered later. That happened so much with Endtroducing – 10 or 15 years down the road, people were discovering it.”

The deluxe CD/LP collection features the original album as well as demos, alternate takes, live versions, and expanded liner notes from an interview conducted by Eliot Wilder, the author of DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing… (33 1/3), along with never-before-released photographs by Brian "B+" Cross and Phil Knott. In addition, the package features 12 exclusive remixes, produced by Prince Paul, Adrian  Younge Hudson Mohawke, Daedelus and other forward looking artists, will also be available as the standalone digital album, Entroducing Re-Emagined. Check out the complete tracklisting after the Clams Casino remix of Stem / Long Stem and a snappy reworking of Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt from Paul Salva below.
