DJ Shadow Celebrates New Imprint With 'Liquid Amber' EP — rollingstone.com

Longtime producer and trip-hop innovator DJ Shadow revealed that, after more than a decade on major labels, he's branching out with his own imprint called Liquid Amber. To celebrate the birth of Liquid Amber, the producer dropped a new EP of the same name containing two new tracks ("Ghost Town," "Mob") and a Machinedrum remix of Shadow's "Six Days" from 2002's The Private Press. "This single/EP serves as the opening salvo in what I hope is a long string of music," Shadow wrote on his official site. "'Ghost Town' is an ambitious ride through many of the micro-genres within the Future Bass umbrella that have inspired me recently, while 'Mob' is an intentionally stripped-down, Cali-certified head-nodder. Both songs were written, programmed, and mixed by myself, and they represent the forward steps I feel I've taken as an engineer. The 'Six Days' remix was something I asked Machinedrum to knock out as a tour weapon, and he crushed it (naturally), so I felt it deserved a proper release."
