It’s sure to be fairly epic…Cut Chemist & DJ Shadow will embark on the ‘Renegades of Rhythm Tour’ this fall celebrating the legacy of Hip-Hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa.
They are pulling records from Bambaataa’s collection ( 40,000 strong!) to put together a mix of Soul and Rap, Soca, Calypso, Dub, Salsa and more.
Bambaataa says: “DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist are going to blow your funky mind.”

Shadow’s footage from the world premiere of the film at this year’s SXSW:
Well, it’s nearly that time! After staying off the road for the better part of two years, I’ll be hitting the tour circuit again starting in July, 2010. Many of the countries and cities on the schedule are first-time territories for me, including Greece, Israel, and Finland, and there’s many more to come. Consider this the “between albums tour,” no record to promote, just a chance to get out there and showcase some of the new music I’ve been working on (and yes, some classics as well). More info & first tour dates here.
