rdf:langString Shadow Records was launched in 1995 as an Instinct Records sub-label to focus on the more organic side of the underground electronic music scene. The label's first release in 1995 defined this approach with Abstrackt Workshop, which featured performances by DJ Krush, Funki Porcini, and Marden Hill in addition to songs from the such cutting edge labels as Pussyfoot and Yellow Productions. The next step included a 2-year involvement with the incredible UK beats label Ninja Tune. This partnership introduced the likes of Funki Porcini, DJ Food, 9 Lazy 9, Up, Bustle and Out, Hedfunk, London Funk Allstars to U.S. audiences. Shadow went on to release U.S. debut CDs from DJ Krush, DJ Cam, Cujo, Shantel, James Hardway and Ollano. Shadow Records has also brought an array of artists to the US, having worked with such European underground labels as Stereo Deluxe, Freerange, Cup Of Tea, Five Star Recordings, Recordings Of Substance, Hospital, nineBAR, Infracom, and DiY. Shadow continues the exploration into the experimental electronica, with a series of mix CDs (Shadow Mix) from the likes of DJ Cam, Kruder & Dorfmeister and Jimpster. Future mix CDs include Jack Dangers (Meat Beat Manifesto, Tino Corp.) and Carl Craig.
