DJ Shadow is Josh Davis, born June 29, 1972, and he grew up in Davis, California. He got his start DJing at UC Davis's campus radio station KDVS, and co-founded the Solesides collective/label (later Quannum Projects) with Blackalicious and Lyrics Born in the early 1990s. His 1996 debut Endtroducing....., built almost entirely from sampled records, was recognized by Guinness World Records as the first album made completely from samples, and later named among Time magazine's 100 all-time best albums. The Private Press (2002) was his long-awaited MCA follow-up. His album Action Adventure came out in October 2023.
