    Pre-Order DJ Shadow's New Album - Our Pathetic Age - smarturl.it/opastore
    DJ Shadow has unveiled the music video for the song “Nobody Speak” featuring Run The Jewels, a standout track from his album ‘The Mountain Will Fall,’ out now on Mass Appeal Records. The video depicts a meeting of leaders that quickly descends into chaos, a scene not unlike what is unfolding in governments around the globe. It also features appearances by DJ Shadow and Run The Jewels.
    Says DJ Shadow: "We wanted to make a positive, life-affirming video that captures politicians at their election-year best. We got this instead.”
    Says Run The Jewels’ Killer Mike: "It's such a dope video. It's what I really wish Trump and Hillary would just do and get it over with...And even in that fight I think Hillary would win - and that's not an endorsement."
    The video was directed by Sam Pilling and produced by Pulse Films, stars Igor Tsyshkevych and Ian Bailey, and was shot in NYC, London and Ukraine.

    'The Mountain Will Fall' is the pioneering musician and producer's first album in five years and finds him exploring new realms of composition and soundscapes. The album was released in June to rave reviews, a performance with Run The Jewels on The Tonight Show, and a #1 iTunes electronic chart debut in 16 countries, including DJ Shadow’s first #1 on Billboard's Dance / Electronic chart in U.S. The Mountain Will Fall is available in physical and digital formats and is available here - DJShadow.lnk.to/TMWFNS
    In advance of his album release, he hosted another classic Essential Mix for the BBC and also did a pop-up show with Beats1 called #Radioface, with more to follow later this year.
    Raves for ‘The Mountain Will Fall’:
    “Impressive in its inventiveness” - The Guardian
    “Rolling and meditative” - Vice Noisey
    “Brassy and bruising” - Rolling Stone
    "An album that bridges eras to envision what the future may hold” - Boston Globe
    “This is DJ Shadow’s best work since his early-aughts heyday. Whatever difficult terrain he had to scale to wrangle this mountain was worth the trip, and suggests even greater ascents in the future” - AV Club

    Can we take a moment to appreciate two things?
    1. That is seriously some great acting by the main two guys in the video. You can FEEL the tension between them. Also in most parts, spot on perfect lipsync! Seriously, nice work!
    2. This video itself is very well made. Great colour grading, camera work, etc. For example, at 1:06, that closeup of the red tie guy's face is fantastic. The lighting across the face is perfect, his expression is so full of emotion, the use of depth of field blur to really make his face pop out of the scene is just spot on.
    Really, there are movies with box office releases that don't have production quality this high.

      These folk have years of experience! There's so much great rap out there though, I'd suggest Homeboy Sandman, Black Milk and Big K.R.I.T

      Actually, we (Turkey) as a country can only solve our problems with our fists and swords, since swords have been out dated for a couple of centuries now we use our trusty fists and when we don't we wish we did. Words come second. It's like an ancestral tradition. So the all parliament and business-suit thing is just there to look more civilised.
      A lot of historians say that Turkey lost many great things on the table not on the battlefield.

    The "reaction shots" throughout lend to a lot to the brilliant absurdity - especially El-P's and Killer Mike's. Genius.
