DJ Shadow
The Mountain Has Fallen EP
Continuing the vision of his 2016 album, The Mountain Will Fall, DJ Shadow returns with four new tracks, and three new collaborators. Diverse, yet coherent, he covers a broad spectrum here; Systematic sees him adding twitchy guitar samples to a zesty Nas vocal, while Horror Show is a booming chop-up weaved around Detroit rapper Danny Brown’s cartoonish spits. Good News delivers a sonic mood board from a solo Shadow, before Oscar-winning film composer Steven Price climbs on-board to conclude this ambitious EP by marrying eerie glitches with soaring strings on Corridors.
