Cut Chemist and DJ Shadow first DJ-ed 45’s as part of their "The Hard Sell" show at the Hollywood Bowl in 2007.
The video to the right, which served as the intro video for that show, was made in that retro, 50’s voiceover style that hip hop producers have been sampling for ages. I suppose it hasn’t quite nuked the fridge yet.
More importantly, Cut Chemist and DJ Shadow are taking this show on the road in July, having already wowed crowds at European music festivals and in Australia earlier this year.
