My favorite series is back!

Great example of how sampling creates something totally new!

I really enjoyed the live video too. Thanks for making these!

Fantastic video, and a fantastic track (probably Shadow's best IMO)! That Nuremburg Ring sample is so good in the mix, must be one of my favourite Shadow samples.

Another entertaining video. I remember reading that keyboard magazine interview with him from 1997. It’s easy to find online, great reading. Here’s what he said about High Noon - My new song is called "High Noon," a single for England, and it’s the hardest song I’ve ever done, bar none. The drum chops on that song take up 64 pads on the MPC-3000, and then more on another disk. So almost 100 pads on the drums alone, and that’s why the song was so difficult. I think when you hear it, hopefully you’ll like it. It’s a drum song.

Wow, Karl's return and a fantastic Shadow song to deconstruct.

The track for me, which made me fall in love with music: Oxygene 4 by Jean-Michel Jarre

I always look forward to these videos. Thanks so much for your dedication.

So cool to see you back!!! I was wondering if we'd ever see a breakdown of Shadow's beat for Blackalicious' Swan Lake? I recently did a remake myself (with a few samples missing here and there) and thought it would be perfect for one of these videos with how it samples 6 versions of People Make the World Go Round (maybe more? the original stylistics sample wasn't listed on whosampled)

Great work as always! Do you know, by any chance, where the voice from the intro to the High Noon single comes from? You know, the one that goes: You, are going to rock and roll. And you can hardly wait for the music to begin. When it happens, you will become a part of that music...

So happy to see a new video from you, Karl!

Yesss!

The sharpness of this track always had me on edge but the organ and bells always makes me love it. Thanks for the deconstruction ❤

Evey single one of these videos i watch, DJ Shadows production and layering skills ASTOUND me. Thank you Karl, love your videos!

So many samples!

you're back!!!!!

Hey man! Is there anyway of getting in touch with you via email?

THE GOAT IS BACK!!!!

These are so fun to watch. I like that you go into the sample and the methods rather than trying to precisely reconstruct the entire song

Nice to see you back Karl with another block rockin beat 👍

Dude! You rock man

Also love the live version from ‘In Tune & On Time’ where Shadow layered Thom Yorke’s vocal from ‘Rabbit in your Headlights’.

He's back!!!

I'm bummed I missed it live but I'm stoked that it's here for me to watch. I love these videos. They always make me think that maybe, just maybe, I could make some crappy song.

Amazing work. Keep it up, Karl.

Deconstruct ? Lmao! if you don't have the Akai Mpc2000 Forget about it! in my (Tony Soprano voice!)

Deconstructing? LMAO! if you don't have the akai s950 forget about it

this needs more views

norman is a sampling god

i have to praise you mr norman

That song has done so much on my emotions.

And Ike’s Rap was inspired by an earlier song, ‘Daydream’ by Wallace Collection. Credit is due to them as well.

absolute gold

what program is he using?

An absolutely incredible amount of work went into this song. Also, an even more incredible amount of work went into researching this video! Thank you for posting!

Funny. I always thought it was a man singing

This is an awesome breakdown! Here is the thing I LOVE Orion by Metallica and I LOVE The Number Song but I was today years old when I found out is was sampled. How did I not hear that?

Great job redrawing the Shadow! You absolutely nailed the drums, not an easy thing to do since the sample is spread out so unevenly. One thing I learned was that for the Heath Bros sample, he used a method called “out of phase stereo” to really isolate those keys. I’ve experimented trying to remake this song myself with FL Studio, and discovered that by mistake lol I’ll never forget hearing this song for the first time in November 2008. I was really feeling the vibe of the keys, then the drums came in and I absolutely magnetized! I still think this is his best song.

Easily my fave Shadow track.

genius, pure genius

just found Lightnin Rod - Sport while watching Uncle Buck. it's been sampled 94 times including Eggman. when you hear it in its original context it instantly made me think of Dust Brothers

How do u find ur own samples

I swear you really dissected what makes Fatboy slim so good!

This is why Fatboy Slim is a masterclass in dance remix music.

Amazing video about a amazing song !

My favorite song of all time. So glad I found this

Wow! Fantastic! Love to see you play the instruments, especially drums (I'm a drummer). 😂
