DJ Shadow Live 10/31/10 @ HOB Sunset (Review)

Endtroducing...on Halloween 

This Halloween I didn’t go trick or treating nor did I costume up, I didn’t even give candy to children—instead, I went to check out one of my favorite DJ’s, the legendary DJ Shadow at the House of Blues on Sunset.  Always skeptical when seeing DJs perform live as their ‘stage performance’ is never truly eventful, I embarked into this show with high hopes of creativity, originality, and entertainment. To my surprise (not really), Shadow delivered on all fronts with his inventive Shadowsphere apparatus and outstanding and thought-provoking visual accompaniment courtesy of longtime VJ collaborator, Ben Stokes.  DJ Shadow, who introduced himself by walking out on stage waving to his fans following an energetic and headnodding performance by Quannum homie Pigeon John (pictures …

Technics Rumor Seems Likely Untrue

It now seems as though the widely circulated rumors about the Technic’s turntable demise is most likely untrue. However, there is yet to be any communication from the company except for this alleged e-mail Panasonic Australia. The fact that no wider press release has been issued is fairly surprising, but maybe not considering that in my ten years of covering turntable-based music I’ve never had any direct interaction with the company. They simply keep quiet and build the best turntables ever assembled. Here’s hoping that policy continues for many years to come.

Dancenode:
