DJ Shadow shares his musical milestones with Matt Everitt in an interview first broadcast in 2011.

DJ Shadow discusses the music he first heard as a child, how a West Coast boy was so attracted by the New York hip hop, beat box, break dance & graffiti scene. He also remembers working with James Lavelle and his releases on Mo' Wax, including his record-breaking Entroducing album, and what it was like going from bedroom DJ to working with world-class artists.
