The Dj Shadow Remix Project: Shadow get remixed!

Nicknamed the Jimmy Hendrix of the sampler and arguably the most gifted turntablist of his generation, Dj Shadow had the brilliant idea to open his tracks to a remixes competition.
Each participant published their remix on the Soundcloud website and from there Shadow selected 17 tracks to get published on the DJ Shadow Remix project.
The album will be out early July on his website but is already available to listen on solesides.com
This project is a great opportunity to young remixers to show their skills and get access to the spotlight.
