The “Orbit: 06, Vol. 4: DJ Shadow Live” party organized by Riskei brings the world-renowned DJ Shadow to the newly opened Seoul Ax Hall in eastern Seoul next Tuesday.

Covering styles from funk, rock and hip-hop, to jazz, soul and ambient music, DJ Shadow, aka Josh Davis, is credited with an experimental sound based on the hip-hop style associated with the London-based Mo’Wax Label. The versatile musician, who grew up in the suburbs of San Francisco, worked his way through hip-hop’s early stage in the mid- to late ’80s until he started his own Solesides label. His tracks from the early ’90s spread fast in the hip-hop underground until Mo’Wax noticed him. DJ Shadow’s first full-length album, “Endtroducing” from 1996, was critically acclaimed in the United Kingdom and America. His groovy medley of musical mix-up matured with worldwide hits, such as “Six Days” (2002), “In Tune And On Time Live” (2004), and “3 Freaks” (2005).
Special guests are Dynamic Duo, P-Type and Koonta & Nuoliunce; guest DJs include Conan and Smood.
