The remastered edition of Shadow’s debut album – which was first released on September 16, 1996 – will arrive on September 24 along with a new 7″ featuring Cut Chemist’s remix of ‘The Number Song’.
‘Endtroducing’ received a 20th anniversary edition in 2016. What separates this new version is that it has been remastered at London’s Abbey Road Studios at half speed from Shadow’s original DAT recording tapes.
“I was so happy to have recently discovered the original DAT tape that served as the final mix source of the album, and was able to provide it for the remaster just in time for this release,” DJ Shadow said in a statement. “When comparing the new version with the old, I was shocked at how many audible details were revealed that I had completely forgotten about.”

DJ Shadow has also announced that he will only be performing three shows between now and the end of the year. He’ll play Bristol, Brighton and Manchester – get tickets here and see the full list of dates below.
