The idea was to collect tracks that were obviously or not-so-obviously influenced by Dj Shadow's masterpiece and first album (on the defunct Mo' Wax label), Endtroducing. Some names spring to mind instantly, like Rjd2 (featured here), but we've tried to dig into many places, from the forgotten -DJ Bias of Lewis Parker fame, J-Walk who's second album will happen soon on Peacefrog, Manitoba now called Caribou-, to the unknown...

Grant Phabao & Djouls - 21st Century Blaxploitation Vol.2 (MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2009-02-26 We had so much feedback and praise from our first animated movie starring vintage shots of Pam Grier in her prime, animation fused with real-time shooting, uncanny 3D special effects and the such that we decided to shoot a sequel. Here's the soundtrack to that new movie 21st Century Blaxploitation volume 2. Expect hip hop, psychedelic soul, latin grooves and, of course, wah wah funk! All those tracks are just HUGE. Repeated play is advised. [comment faire?/how to?] Tracklisting :...

Dj Shadow - "Endtroducing" va être réédité en version deluxe au mois de Juin 2005.
Il s'agit d'une manière bien cheap de collecter faces B et autres "aretés" et "nédits" en prétendant mettre des thunes en marketing et en promo sur une opé de back-catalogue. Bien évidemment dans ce cas les royalties dues à l'artiste sont victimes d'abattements et déductions en tous genres... et la maison de disque s'en cogne puisqu'elle marge sur le CD, le boîtier plastoc et le livret.
Bref...
En plus du CD d'origine on trouvera un CD bonus, et quelques modifs sur le livret par Shadow et des extraits d'un bouquin à paraître en Septembre sur l'album. Voici le tracklist :

01 Best Foot Forward (alt. version/previously unreleased)
02 Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt (alt. take without overdubs/previously unreleased)
03 Number Song (Cut Chemist party mix)
04 Changeling (original demo excerpt/previously unreleased)
05 Stem (cops 'n' robbers mix)
06 Soup
07 Red Bus Needs To Leave
08 Mutual Slump (alt. take without overdubs/previously unreleased)
09 Organ Donor (extended overhaul)
10 Why Hip Hop Sucks In '96 (alt. take/previously unreleased)
11 Midnight In A Perfect World (Gab mix)
12 Napalm Brain (original demo beat/previously unreleased)
13 What Does Your Soul Look Like (Peshay mix)
