DJ Shadow

Contest: Win tickets to see DJ Shadow in Chicago

In 2011, DJ Shadow released the excellent The Less You Know, The Better, a return to form after five years of silence on the original-music front. He followed that up with Reconstructed, a “best-of” album, soon to be available in a limited-edition box set.  Since then, he’s been touring extensively, bringing his wildly eclectic sound to cities the world over. His unique style of genre-mixing production is diverse and awfully difficult to reproduce.

Assuming that you still have enough left in your tank after a weekend full of hot Lollapalooza action, you can get your groove on Sunday night at the official after-party at The Mid. We’re giving away four pairs of tickets to what promises to be a dance-party extravaganza.

The lineup comprises a worldly bunch. Swedes Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg of Miike Snow will be playing a headlining DJ set, with support from Australian house duo Bag Raiders, UK-based DJ Jackmaster, California-based The M Machine, and Chicago’s own DJ Trentino.
