Everyones Favourite DJ's on his way

• 5th Aug 2006

After 4 years of living in music's wilderness, DJ Shadow has announced a UK tour.

This November sees Shadow kicking off in Newcastle before heading north for a show at the Glasgow Academy. The tour comes in line with the popular-disc spinner's new album, 'The Outsider', due for release on September 18. The album will be his first since 2002's 'The Private Press' and features a host of guest artists such as Kasabian, Q-Tip, Keak Da Sneak and Turf Talk.

Posting on his official website, he revealed how he feels some fans maybe turned off by the his new sound. He said: “The album is very diverse, and reflects the fact that I don't fit comfortably in any one genre. My critics see that as a problem, but I don't…it's simply the way things are.

“I've never really fit into any one clique. That's why the album is called 'The Outsider'. In some ways it's a risky record. It's going to turn some people off. And I think I'll lose some fans.”

Newcastle Academy (November 28)
Glasgow Academy (29)
Leeds University (30)
