New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today DJ Shadow has released a surprise EP called 'The Mountain Has Fallen' via Mass Appeal Records. The EP features collaborations with Nas,
Danny Brown, Academy Award-winning composer
Steven Price and a brand new solo composition and is available now via all DSPs. The physical version of the album will be available August 18th. DJ Shadow's North American summer run started last night in Quebec and continues through August 4, ending with his first-ever show in Nashville, TN. He will play Panorama Festival in NYC on Randall's Island on July 28.
"Horror Show" finds Shadow and
Danny Brown collaborating for the first time over a jagged, haunting soundscape. The song will make its radio premiere on
Shade 45's Sway In The Morning tomorrow. Listen here: https://youtu.be/wp6Y1LaLMGs?list=PLQx7Olx-4qKhbHa26IEf-viyy4k0Pehbd

'The Mountain Has Fallen' starts with "Systematic," DJ Shadow and Nas' first-ever collaboration together. The song debuted during the season premiere of HBO's Silicon Valley in April. Also featured on the EP is a brand new composition, "
Good News", reminiscent of some of Shadow's more free-form, fractured work found on 2016's 'The Mountain Will Fall' full-length.
The EP closes with "Corridors," a piece featuring Academy Award-winning composer
Steven Price (Baby Driver / Gravity / Suicide Squad). Shadow is a massive fan of his work, and Price wrote and programmed the string parts on the song.
Says DJ Shadow, "Prior to the last album, I made a lot of high-risk moves behind the scenes, including walking away from a comfortable major-label deal. My thinking was, If 'The Mountain Will Fall' LP ends up being successful, I'd be in a much more positive place in my career. With everything that's happened since it came out, I feel like I bet on myself and won. So I guess you could say that this new EP is my version of a victory lap. It's a celebration, and an extension of those confident steps forward."
'The Mountain Has Fallen' comes on the heels of a tremendous fifteen months for the legendary DJ and producer. He performed at Coachella 2017, marking his fifth appearance overall at the festival. He recently launched his KCRW show called Find, Share, Rewind, which airs at 10PM the first Saturday of each month. His extensive 'The Mountain Will Fall' tour continues through 2017 and has seen him circle the globe more than once since launching in 2016, with recent dates in Australia, Japan and Europe. He will finish his 2017 dates in London in October. Shadow released his latest feature album 'The Mountain Will Fall' via Mass Appeal Records to raves last year, which lead to a performance on 'The
Tonight Show' with Run The Jewels. The music video for that track, "Nobody Speak," just won the 2017 A2IM Libera Award for Best
Music Video and a Bronze at The Cannes Lion Awards.
