DJ Shadow is probably best know for his track the Organ Donor. Now DJ Shadow has put together a new album or remixes called the DJ Shadow Remix Project. The Remix Project is a 17 track album of his favourite remixes of his work which he is giving away for free with each purchase in his store.

“The DJ Shadow Remix Project began as an experiment to see if we could engage and empower the online remixing community. Initially, Mike (Fiebach, of DJShadow.com) and I figured we’d award a prize through the site, stream a few winning mixes, and leave it at that. Eighty or so submissions later, I started thinking ‘Hmm, maybe we should open this up a little.’

I love this CD, more than I ever dreamed I would. I love the lo-fi basement aesthetic of economic’s vision, the sophisticated sheen of Randomatik’s “Scatterbrain” mix, the grit and swagger of Irn Mnky. In many cases, new life has been breathed into songs I had long-since resigned to the past, and made them fresh again. You WILL hear these mixes in future shows, and that’s the strongest endorsement I can give as a DJ. From one artist to another, thank you for inspiring me.
