Crate diggers and true school fans have something to look forward at the beginning of 2008: A new project by DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist.
The two acclaimed turntablists previewed their new project, “The Hard Sell,” during a handful of shows last summer. “The Hard Sell” is the latest in a series of tag-team collaborations that date back to 1999, when the two paired for a legendary gig in San Francisco. The set, which appeared on a limited-edition CD under the title Brainfreeze, subsequently influenced a generation of rare groove DJs.
A CD/DVD version of The Hard Sell, which will document DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist’s performance at the Hollywood Bowl, is scheduled for early next year on their Pillage Road Show imprint. Before that, they’ll roam across the country for a series of concerts. Find out if your city is included on the itinerary below.
