My 1992 track for Zimbabwe Legit was the first time I felt I had captured "the sound in my head," and it was the song that made James Lavelle seek me out for his label. Here's the original promotional photo and postcard sent to my dorm room upon release. #MoWax #ZimbabweLegit #DJShadow

Back in the mid '90s, when Bape was just a small, boutique Japanese clothing brand, there were tons of Mo' Wax collaborations and crossover items, like this long-forgotten oddity promoting Unkle's "The Time Has Come" EP.  #abathingape #unkle #mowax #djshadow #bape

Here I am featured on the cover of The Wire magazine, summer 2002 as part of The Private Press campaign. "I Spit On Your Groove," definitely one of the better headlines I've seen

If you're going to be anywhere near NYC in the next month, do yourself a favor and swing by Mast Books to catch my buddy Dante Carfagna's first ever gallery showing of his artwork. Opening reception is tomorrow 🙌

Original business card given to me around 1991 by rapper Paris, one of my most important early mentors.  Responsible for so many firsts in my career, including my first real music studio experience.  He also helped negotiate a discount when I purchased my MPC-60 sampler.  No amount of thanks is sufficient, and I'm forever grateful for his tutelage. #bayarearap #djshadow

More random stuff from the archive sort: no one under 35 will remember this, but before laptops and smartphones, devices like this Palm Pilot were essential...in late 2004 I moved into a Sidekick, which explains why the Kraftwerk pass from the same year survived relatively unscathed #antiquatedtechnology #palmpilot
