This fall, DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist will embark on the "Renegades of Rhythm Tour" celebrating the legacy of Hip-Hop pioneer Afrika Bambaata. Shadow & Cut pulled from Bambaataa's beautifully tattered 40,000 strong vinyl collection to bring you not just Soul and Rap, but also Soca, Calypso, Dub, Salsa and more. Shadow and Cut kicked off the tour with two sold-out shows at NYC's Irving Plaza where Bambaataa himself watched from the balcony as the duo pulled his vinyl collection apart and mixed a nostalgic set that chronicled and honored the genre that influenced so many others. Visuals for the tour are supplied by acclaimed video director, multimedia producer and regular DJ Shadow collaborator Ben Stokes.
Regarded as one of the most influential and consistently innovative artists to emerge in the last 20 years, Josh "Shadow" Davis is widely credited as a key figure in developing the experimental hip-hop style associated with the London-based Mo' Wax label. Hailed for his innovative visual performances in both a live and DJ setting, DJ Shadow's 2010 and 2011 tour was cited by Beatport as one of the top 10 DJ shows of all time. DJ Shadow most recently released an ambitious and comprehensive retrospective of his finest recordings entitled Reconstructed: The Best of DJ Shadow and Reconstructed: The Definitive DJ Shadow (a multi-disc box set).
Cut Chemist founded the rap group Jurassic 5 and helped form the Grammy award winning Latin funk outfit, Ozomatli. Jurassic 5 would become one of the biggest hip hop bands in the late 90s and 2000s. During this time, Cut Chemist also created the groundbreaking all 7" size record mix series with DJ Shadow. In 2004, Cut Chemist left J5 to release a solo album on Warner Bros entitled The Audiences Listening. This album highlighted Cut Chemist's music sensibilities as both a rap song producer and an instrumentalist with his single "Whats The Altitude" which became one of the most viewed videos on YouTube in 2006.
