Original Lab review:
The triumphant return of DJ Shadow! Josh Davis (aka DJ Shadow) changed the game with his '96 debut masterpiece Endtroducing, setting the high watermark for sample-based instrumental hip hop and influencing generations of producers to come. Fast forward two decades later and the "Jimi Hendrix of sampling" is back (after a 5 year hiatus) with an evolved sound palette that pushes his style into the 21st century. On The Mountain Will Fall, Shadow has a fresh bag of tricks up his sleeve utilizing heavy synth sounds and tough drum machines in lieu of dusty samples and breaks, while recruiting a new breed of talent on the assist including Run The Jewels, Nils Frahm, Ernie Fresh, Matthew Halsall, and more. Check the sound on "Bergschrund" with Frahm, "Nobody Speak" with El-P and Killer Mike, "The Sideshow," "Ashes To Oceans" with Halsall, "Ghost Town," and "Mambo."
