Collecting #2: DJ Shadow: King of Digging

Directed by Doug Pray, Scratch traces the birth of “turntablism” and documents the ongoing history of today’s hip hop movement. Here, DJ Shadow guides us in his "little nirvana", a labyrintic basement of a record shop full of stacks of vinyls, seeking for forgotten sounds in this incredible archive of music culture. "I guess the people who digg don't stop digging because it's part of who we are." says DJ Shadow. So believe him when he says: "As a DJ, I take the art of digging seriously." He's probably there again right now.
