I've heard plenty about DJ Shadow, never checked him out, though.
Where should I start?

Davey Moore

Endtroducing is where I started out.

O.K. i preface this by stating for the court that by no means am i an expert in rap or hip hop.... i rollerskated every weekend to the gap band and burn rubber was my jam, i am ultra white so (hee-hee) debbies harry's the man from mars was very cool for me, i could keep the beat.... most of the time. i remeber when i heard the sugar hill gang rappers delight, still know it. but then i got away until i lived in San Pedro "90 i believe, it's been so long, in too deep came out with back to the hotel. it sure beat cinderfella, Houdini and grandmaster flash, white lines.... go away..... still love the humpty hump, and big butts and i cannot lie....

Endtroducing is arguably Shadow's best album, but he drifts from that sound rather quickly, so don't get too attached.

i'd also suggest Live! In Tune and On Time. it's an official live album, masterfully done, and it is provides a very good intro to the whole spectrum of his work.

as an aside, i never understood why so many people classify Endtroducing and other early Shadow as hip hop. or even his later stuff for that matter. i would say his early work is ambient breaks, and he later works into funky breaks. while there's a strong hip hop influence running through his whole career, i would nonetheless categorize him under electronic.

anyway if you dig his stuff, let me know. i have 15+ hours of him, so i can point you in the right direction

btw check out RJD2 as well
