We’re out here bro. We are living in some dark days.. I think of the people in Ukraine as I listen to this right now.

from IMDB about the movie "Dark Days" : The soundtrack for the film was provided by DJ Shadow (aka Josh Davis), who is a critically-acclaimed producer and DJ. He is notorious, however, for being very protective of licensing his music for other venues or projects, having declined many other scoring offers in the past. When a friend of Singer's saw the footage assembled to a rough cut, he suggested Shadow for the soundtrack. Singer got hold of a couple of Shadow's albums, and loved the music so much, he began to cut the music into his film without any contact with the DJ. When fellow producer Ben Freedman told him he would need the rights to the music, the duo concocted a scheme whereby they would write a note to him and give it to an attractive female friend who would go backstage after a show and personally hand-deliver it. It worked. Weeks later, the two scheduled a flight to LA to coincide with a last-minute meeting with Shadow and his agent. According to Shadow, he was prepared to turn down the men's offer to use his music. But when they showed him a rough edit of the film with his music that Singer had already cut-in, Shadow was taken aback and completely impressed. He not only let them use existing titles, but even remixed some older tracks intercut with new audio samples recorded by Singer in the tunnels as a special score done for the film

Just watched Dark Days... absolutely outstanding and very touching documentary. You almost forget it's a docu it's so compelling. Very honest and serious look into people's lives that you'd never imagine was real

Thanks for the research. I've been listening to Shadow since my teens, 45 now. Fun Fact. This song was composed by Ducky from CSI. Mandela was a communist murderer.

This track must be one of DJ Shadow's proudest accomplishments. It doesn't sound sampled, it sounds like a lost artifact produced in the late 60's.

Not to mention that it’s the soundtrack to a really brilliant and inspiring film…Dark Days. Follows some of people that live in disused tunnels in the NY subway. Shot in B&W.

Dark Days was 1 of the most influencing film to me. All in B/W, high contrast and grainy, with this sad but real story, epic camera work and trippy, totally matching score by DJ Shadow. Please show it to your children, this will teach them to be strong in life.

night train in New York in the late 70’s early 80’s.. is what I’m seeing. DJ Shadow true artist, transcends genre

His drums are always fire 🔥 🔥 🔥

The Film definitely does not get enough recognition for how great it was. Very well made.

Sultry as the summer heat

I love that sonar-ish sound that comes with the snare.

Great tune..the best..the motto is anyone can be homeless,,or end on the streets,,just be grateful you have a roof over ya head.

Dj Shadow = LEGEND

This doesn’t get old, ever. Matter of Fact: when I want to listen to this song and the song that comes after this, I leave my paid Spotify app so I can listen to these two song played consecutively for my pleasure.

Dark days is a documentary from the 90s about homeless people living in the amtrak under new york in complete darkness. The samples starting at 5:00 are used from the film aswell. Its moving, do watch it. (Its on netflix)

Those skates are awesome, used to do aggressive back in the days of Roces, K2 and RB, now I own a pair of Salomon Vinny Minton's since 2004 ;)

LOOOOKING REALLLL DANGEROUS

incredible.

Thank you for sharing this!

amazing. thanks for uploading

Dark Days (2000) Listening to music and making Midnight Art. So blessed! And I am grateful. I credit his movie and the movie Requiem for a Dream (2000) changed my whole life path. Not that I was ever out there out there...just young and wild. Definitely silly af and irresponsible. They pretty much cemented two personal rules that I still follow to this day: NEVER get on drugs. And NEVER be homeless. EVER! No disrespect to the unfortunate among us who have been, are or have ever been out there. I can't do it...I'm just not built like that.

Christ, this is so damn good.

THANK YOU FOR THE UPLOAD MATE!!

I DON'T EVEN LIKE MONEY! But I'll monetize the snot out of this video if it gets more than a million views 🙈

I thought that it was quite generous that he allowed his music to be used for the film after all. No other artist would have suited it better. Great film and great artist.

1 million views! Certified!

still love this track

Brilliant Beyond Belief.

love the remz in the background

No doubt. Thats the beauty of this type of music, it takes the obscure and allows the inquisitive among us to search it out and appreciate it for its own sake. Nowadays though you can just google to find out what a sample is and then have instant access to the original. You can buy compilation albums with all the most famous breaks on there. Which is a good thing and a bad thing.

wow, just wow.

I feel ashamed about not knowing this great song of Dj Shadow.

Fukin love this

Superb!

Great post

This old remz... fuck i love them. greeting from poland, good music and good skates :)

Look at the documentary and you understand why the B-side is so awesome..
