One of the most important figures in hip hop and turntablism



On October 4, 2012




✖ DJ SHADOW

(DJ Set - Island, Universal)

www.djshadow.com



DJ Shadow (born Josh Davis) is widely credited as a key figure in developing the experimental instrumental hip-hop style associated with the London-based Mo' Wax label. Inspired by hip-hop's early years, he then grew to absorb the heyday of crews like Eric B. & Rakim, Ultramagnetic MCs, and Public Enemy; groups which prominently featured DJs in their ranks.



Josh "Shadow" Davis had already been fiddling around with making beats and breaks on a four-track recorder while he was in high school in the NorCal cow-town of Davis, but it was during college that he co-founded his own Solesides label as an outlet for his original tracks. Hooking up with Davis' few b-boys (including eventual Solesides artists Blackalicious and Lyrics Born) through the college radio station, Shadow began releasing the Hip-Hop Reconstruction mix tapes in 1991 and pressed his 17-minute beat-head symphony "Entropy" in 1993. His tracks spread widely through the DJ-strong hip-hop underground, eventually catching the attention of Mo' Wax.

✖ SHARKAT

(2K Deep, WRUV 90.1 // BTV)



My name is Shar and I'm a Capricorn. I like sandwiches, jokes, ponds, bacon, and foraging. I'm also a DJ. I've loved music as far back as I can remember and have gone through many phases throughout the years. From top 40, to hardcore, then rap, dancehall, roots, miami bass, jambands, and jazz....pretty much in that order. I've also been a part of Burlington's alternative radio station, 90.1 WRUV for 7 years and counting, doing weekly late night mix sessions within the realms of Drum n' Bass, Dubstep, Electro, Breaks, House, and Downtempo. If you're still reading this I owe you a beer.
