As part of the encore, DJ Shadow premiered a new song, “Corridors” from his work with Academy Award winning composer, Steven Price, promising a release “sooner or later.” The slightly older crowd was super hyped on Shadow, going nuts when he dropped classics like “Midnight in a Perfect World,” “What Does Your Soul Look Like?,” “Building Steam With a Grain of Salt,” “Six Days” and of course, “Organ Donor.” When Shadow went into Caterina Valente’s “Ol’ Man River,” the track that provided the main hook for his “Nobody Speak” track with Run the Jewels, the Fonda just about lost their minds.
Highlights for me included the 2003 Zack de la Rocha track, “March of Death,” “Rabbit in your Headlights,” from U.N.K.L.E featuring Thom Yorke, “Warning Call” featuring Tom Vek, and “Scale it Back” featuring Little Dragon. With nearly 30 years of music to pull from, Shadow expertly chopped, screwed, sliced, diced and scratched all the songs you’d expect as well as the more obscure and deeper cuts. Davis is a true DJ master and his sets are so incredibly detailed and skillfully layered, you easily lose yourself in the sonic journey he takes you on. It should be mandatory that all up-and-coming DJs and producers see Shadow perform at least once. DJ Shadow at The Fonda Theatre - Photo: ceethreedom
