New York, NY (Top40 Charts) DJ Shadow and Nas just unveiled their first-ever collaboration, called "Systematic," and this Sunday it aired on the Season 4 premiere of HBO's Silicon Valley. The song finds Shadow and Nas joining forces over a deeply funky boom-bap beat. Shadow's deft touch of old-school turntablism and scratching sets the scene for a fiery, scathing performance from Nas. "Systematic" is the first track to be released from Mass Appeal Records' forthcoming 'Silicon Valley: The Soundtrack' out on June 16.

DJ Shadow has also a July run of North American dates to the extended 'The Mountain Will Fall' 2017 tour, see full list of dates below. He will appear at the Panorama Festival in NYC July 28 as well.
"Systematic" comes on the heels of a busy spring 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. A new song and collaboration with Nils Frahm is included on the 'Ghost In The Shell' soundtrack, and his extensive 'The Mountain Will Fall' tour continues through 2017. Shadow released his latest feature album 'The Mountain Will Fall' via Mass Appeal Records to raves last year.
