Preemptive Strike: Double Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: [PIAS] Recordings Catalogue
Release Date: 11th December

Essential DJ Shadow compilation finally gets a vinyl repress, an important document which collects his Mo Wax singles and shows his evolution from DIY sample experimentation to reinventing how people make records. It's dark, lo-fi, sprawling and oftentimes indulgent to the point where it feels like he's working these beats like freeform jazz.

Preemptive Strike defined DJ Shadow’s groundbreaking early period. This 2LP has been remastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios and features brand new artwork by celebrated science fiction illustrator Frank R. Paul.

A landmark collection of sample-driven production, it captures the inventive, genre-defying sound that helped establish Shadow as one of the most influential voices in electronic music. Bringing together key recordings from the formative years of his career, the album showcases his pioneering approach to sampling and production. Featuring tracks including “In/Flux”, “Organ Donor (Extended Overhaul)” and “High Noon”.
