Shadow on hardcore collaborations

DJ Shadow has told Australian music website Undercover about his "hardcore" contribution to the forthcoming solo album by former Rage Against The Machine vocalist Zack De La Rocha. "It’s the next thing I'm working on in the New Year, I'm producing a few songs,” Shadow explained. "I started doing demos for him a few years ago when I had time and we've settled on a few. I want to get those mixed up and his vocals settled down. As far as sound goes, it is hardcore. It is pretty hard. I would personally like to think that a lot of my music is quite hard-edged - even if it's not sonically kind of rocky. 'Walkie Talkie' is a pretty hard core song. A lot of what I have done in the past, maybe certain moments on 'Endtroducing', or certain moments on other records, is hard core."
