DJ Shadow News The CD is without a record label, like Brainfreeze was, the only indication is the "One29 Recordings," which is how many records were used to make this mix. Shadow is feverishly working on the new solo album-- which is still slated for release on MCA in September. Future Primitive is releasing a compilation album called URBAN REVOLUTIONS on February 12th, and it features a "Dance The Slurp" interlude taken from the Last Brainfreeze performance, where actual Slurpees were passed out to the crowd. solesides.com /endt2001.htm   (1540 words)

SFBG A+E | September 8, 1999 | Grooves   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) Now that the music industry has wholeheartedly assimilated the mix album into its bag of tricks, it's easy to forget that the mix tape is more than just a promotional vehicle. What DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist do with Brainfreeze is to add a historical dimension, capturing a brief but brilliant history of the funk 45 in their dizzyingly paced 50-minute album (done in two uninterrupted takes). Brainfreeze – with two of hip-hop's most imaginative DJs working together – is a blueprint for creative collaboration. www.sfbg.com /AandE/33/49/grooves.html   (787 words)

Cut Chemist - Brainfreeze: Reviews, Track Listing, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) Even prior to the release of the album, the collaboration between Cut Chemist [+] and DJ Shadow [+] had developed an almost legendary buzz. Brainfreeze [+] captures for posterity, in two uninterrupted takes, the live DAT rehearsal tapes from the duo's premiere show together, and it is an amazing display of spontaneous music-making. Some of the snippets cut and pasted here will be readily familiar to longtime fans of rap music, and some formed the basis for tracks on Shadow's first two albums, but the majority are from extremely rare and generally forgotten 45s absent from the crates of even the most ardent beat-diggers. www.music.com /release/brainfreeze/1   (475 words)

[No title] Brainfreeze began life when Shadow and Cut learned of an unusual 7-inch called "Dance the Slurp." Released by the 7-Eleven corporation in the '70s as part of a promotion for its Slurpee drinks, the 45 actually had a drum breakdown on it, making it instantly interesting to the two funk aficionados. The Brainfreeze album has taken on the life of a rare 45 -- desired, treasured, eagerly traded for, etc. The parallel has not escaped Cut and Shadow. Brainfreeze 2 is in the works for later in 2000, and the duo is using another unusual 45 as the project's inspirational cornerstone. www.laweekly.com /ink/printme.php?eid=11802   (1815 words)

DJ Shadow Feature and discology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) As a musical artist, Davis is a truly exceptional example of modern culture as he weaves and puts together his tracks with such precision and craft that its difficult to fault the man. Do not expect to hear an 'Endtroducing Pt 2', as it does'nt have many similarities with that record. This is perhaps one of 'the' albums of the 90s as it represents all that is good about dance/hip-hop music. The effect that Davis had on this project stands as a credit to him, because this is still an incredibly good album that mixes all the good elements from the 90s music scenes and melds them together in a futuristic, hip-hop, techno, trip-hop style. www.thestudentzone.com /articles/djshadow.html   (802 words)

DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist: Product Placement: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) A collaboration between icon DJ Shadow and Jurassic 5 turntablist Cut Chemist, Brainfreeze was a one-hour throwdown comprised largely of rare funk and soul 45s. The album's first track gets off to a slow and clichéd start with the standard self-referential samples and exhibitions of scratching speed. Obviously attempts to recreate the popular "Doin' the Slurp" sequence from Brainfreeze, the results vary from successful (a folk-and-brass solder job on "The Real Thing") to near unlistenable (revving motorcycle noises are, unsurprisingly, sort of hard on the ear in any context). pitchforkmedia.com /record-reviews/d/dj-shadow/product-placement.shtml   (734 words)

Netscape Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) Even prior to the release of the album, the collaboration between Cut Chemist and DJ Shadow had developed an almost legendary buzz. Brainfreeze captures for posterity, in two uninterrupted takes, the live DAT rehearsal tapes from the duo's premiere show together, and it is an amazing display of spontaneous music-making. The music splits the difference between the groundbreaking, Brian Eno-worthy soundscapes that have characterized DJ Shadow's solo career and the ebullient, breakbeat-savvy, street-corner jive of old school-style rap, as exemplified by Chemist's crew Jurassic 5. artistinfo.spinner.com /cg/x.dll?UID=3:01:20|PM&p=netscape&sql=2:584405   (394 words)

dj forums - The Center of Electronic Music Culture - Favorite DJ Shadow Album?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) Brainfreeze is cool, but some parts are kind of annoying at times. The Endtroducing joint was the first album that I had ever heard chilled out beats cut up the way he does it. DJ Shadow is a musical genius, and Endtroducing is one of my favorite albums of all time. www.djforums.com /forums/printthread.php?s=1b29441085532af593738c33acd43f4e&t=22233   (595 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Music: Product Placement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) This album is probably on a par with brainfreeze so if you love that then you will love this. The best shadow album (in my opinion) is 'live in austin' so if you find that anywhere then buy it straight away. This album takes a few listen, but if you're a shadow fan then this is a worthy addition to your cd collection. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00024X164   (456 words)

Oakland's Urbanview His album culminated what Shadow refers to as a "lifetime of vinyl culture" and commented on what hip-hop had become and where it could be. In 1999, he col-laborated on the now legendary all-45's Brainfreeze mix session with DJ Cut Chemist, recorded live at a Future Primitive show in San Francisco, that was re-leased to the acclaim of DJs and funk fiends everywhere. While at Davis, Shadow and his homies -- Lateef the Truth Speaker, Lyrics Born, X and Gab from Blackalicious, and spiritual leader DJ Zen -- formed a label, Solesides, and began a success-ful run as one of the most re-spected Bay Area hip-hop crews in the mid '90s. www.metroactive.com /urbanview/05.22.02/dj-shadow-0221.html   (2226 words)

RapReviews.com Feature for May 14, 2002 - DJ Shadow's "The Private Press" The album was a personal journey for a nerdy record collector who dedicated his art not only to hip-hop, but the funk, soul, and rock musicians who inspired him to create his own sounds. The album version is at a slower tempo than that of the circulated MP3; also new are a number of extra samples, which help add an eerie element to the song about a ghost. Throughout the album are interludes taken from old records called Recordios, homemade recordings that were the 1940's/1950's equivalent of voice mail. www.rapreviews.com /archive/2002_05F_privatepress.html   (1827 words)

Beastie Boys Message Board - DJ Shadow I love all of DJ Shadow's albums and some of his best songs are on Entroducing but my favorite album has got to be The Private Press. The music seems moody but without being almost depressing (DJCam's Mad Blunted Jazz album [also from 1996], which I like a lot, is this way so i have to be in the right mood to listen to it). Most of it sounded like that smooth jazz crap that pollutes doctors' waiting rooms nowadays and the few songs that were very good.........at the beginning of the track (and in the samples), had the same piece of music monotonously repeated through the entire track--zzzzzz. www.beastieboys.com /bbs/printthread.php?t=45616   (1458 words)

Find the funk | November 8, 2000 | full circle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) Inaugurating Rejoint is the resurrection of the extremely rare Jungle Obsession album by the late Italian composer Nino Nardini. A so-called "library record" (albums recorded and lent to radio, television, and film companies for use as cheap background music), Jungle Obsession has some similarities to the exotica-inspired lounge albums by Martin Denny and Les Baxter in the late '50s. The album is a journey to a fictive land of Moog-manipulated aurality and Afro-Amazonian fantasy. www.sfbg.com /AandE/fullcircle/56.html   (615 words)

Comment: Though more of a subtle and moody album, and as such less commercial that Dj SHadow's first album proper, this compendium of vinyl releases is utterly indespensible to a fan.

This was recorded continuously in one take and live using two turntables n' one sampler as they both spent a solid week preparing for the Future Primitive Soundsession.

ALTRAP.NET - Album Review - Jurassic 5 - Power In Numbers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) As such, the album doesn’t properly open until track 4, the banging ‘Break,’ which reminds you once again why you love J5 so much after the disappointing first few songs. Following on from this track, the album really takes flight and its middle section has to rank as one of the strongest selection of tracks this year. What holds it back from being as good as “Quality Control” in particular is just its cohesion as a whole album; many of its individual songs are undoubtedly stronger than their counterparts but as a start to finish listen, “Power in Numbers” does not quite stand up as well as its predecessors. www.altrap.net /reviews/history/j5/pin.html   (526 words)

ear fuzz: From California to New Orleans I received my copy of Spice of Life today and again couldn't be happier to not only have this wonderful music, but to be donating to such a worthy cause. Shaw's single "California Soul" is the OG Cali anthem, and since it's inclusion on Brainfreeze has been highly sought after in both 45 and LP form. The entire album is solid from front to back, and the cool thing about it is that whenever I listen to it I'll always remember it's origins, and the hope it's helping rebuild. www.earfuzz.com /2005/09/from-california-to-new-orleans.html   (155 words)

music.1percent.com - live review - BRAINFREEZE - DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist, Los Angeles, CA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) As rewarding as those shows must have been, and as fulfilling as work with Jurassic 5, Ozomatli, and Unity Committee definitely were, the Brainfreeze show on January 12 was hands down the peak of Cut Chemist’s career so far. Inside the sold out El Rey, the first thing you may have noticed were the rows 80’s video games, or it could have been the Slurpee machines, or possibly may have been the video projections containing clips of vintage record pressings and clever 7-11 inspired graphics. All the DJ’s on stage that night have been collecting as long if not longer and the fruits of their labor came back though the speakers Jan 12th, ringing in hundreds of ears well into the next day. music.1-percent.com /reviews/djshadow_chem_0100.html?PSID=e9354f84b4472b9bdd560425ca88fdbe   (547 words)

Richard Allen Pooplist 2003     (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) On their third album, Zoar is joined by such guests as Matt Johnson (The The), Brendan Perry (Dead Can Dance) and the Masai People of Lake Natron, Tanzania. Originally conceived as a theatre piece, this album incorporates “love letters” from the band’s fans in the form of some mighty strange samples, which have been artfully integrated in the mix. The album fits under the category of “modern classical,” yet is also recommended for fans of improvised jazz. www.parnassusrecords.com /fiad/poop/richardallenpoop03.htm   (749 words)

(((((((( important audio gallery )))))))) Blue vinyl!" Originally released in 1974 in an edition of 500 copies, this, along with the three Kluster albums as well as Conrad's album Rot constitute not only some of the rarest albums of the now highly sought-after kraut-rock scene, but also some of the most extreme musically. Spacemachine is Maso Yamazaki (Masonna) This double album on red vinyl consisists of Spacemachine studio tracks on record 1 and Spacemachine live with Kawabata Makoto on the second record.

DJ Shadow News DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist are going to perform a "farewell performance" of Brainfreeze on January 18th at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. Brainfreeze Information I have been hit with many requests for where to get Brainfreeze, what label it is on, etc. Brainfreeze is not distributed by any label.

IGN: Cut Chemist Gets Busy May 19, 2005 - It's hard to believe that despite having laid his scratch down on albums by Ozomatli and Jurassic 5, not to mention his legendary Brainfreeze collaborations with DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist has never produced a bona fide solo album of his own. All of which means that the music on the album will traverse between Brazilian samba ambiance to rock, funk, and brash electronic bang. Cut Chemist recorded a chunk of the album with a group of musicians in Brazil, plus it marks his shift from the traditionalist oriented MPC to a proper studio environment. music.ign.com /articles/616/616942p1.html   (367 words)
