The third release from DJ Shadow's new imprint LIQUID AMBER comes from fellow California native Ruckazoid, with his 3-track EP 'Scratchgod I'.

"It’s created straight off scratching only, according to the “SCRATCHGOD.” If so, praise to you as well Ruckazoid. We’re not worthy." -URB

"The most awesome thing about “Money,” besides the fact that it’s an amazing track, is that it was recorded live, and it highlights the artist’s incredible skill in sampling, mixing, looping, and scratching." -Sensible Reason

"Anyone who thinks that real DJing and turntablism are dead is dead WRONG! Case in point—the DJ Shadow-approved and self-proclaimed Scratch God known as Ruckazoid." -Heady T

Hi everyone, Shadow here. I spent about 2 years on this one, on and off. Put everything I had into it. Wanted to make a record that reflected a lot of what I'm liking about music right now. Tried not to worry about the naysayers or rock critics, but definitely had my true fans in mind. For those that stuck around, I hope you like what you hear...I think this is one of the good ones. Your support is massively appreciated, now more than ever.

'The Less You Know The Better' by DJ Shadow (French Version - Jewel Case). Shadow is back, and better than ever with this fresh new album.

Technology, gadgets, and corporations have taken over the planet, and the only way to fight back is to serve them their own medicine. When you see a billboard with an ad for the newest teenage drama queen movie, or the newest animated disaster, think of Roland the iPad saying "Who Cares?" When you see ads plastered on city streets for liquor or the newest car, think of Seth the iPhone saying "This Sucks." Titania, the laptop is a silent symbol to accompany Seth and Roland, representing the evolution of the human mind-state into complete and utter reliance on the ever-powerful computer.

These characters are bold messages in the war of information and control.

Without going much further, we'll just let you listen to the brand new, and better than ever DJ Shadow.

Label: Cali-Tex / Numero Group
Released: July 12th, 2011

The first offering from DJ Shadow’s Cali-Tex
imprint in over 3½ years features Dayton,
Ohio’s Stone Coal White. Perhaps the most
underground act in a scene that was already
vastly subterranean, bassist Melvin Payne,
guitarist Tommy Mundy, and drummer Joey
“Lobo” Rodrick released their sound from
the deepest chasm of the black experience.
Channeling Vietnam nightmares, grass, LSD,
unhinged sexuality, poverty, and violence,
Stone Coal White created a spiritual sound
that was uniquely their own.

Some will recognize “You Know” from the
black psych bible Chains & Black Exhaust,
but as the group’s two 45s exist in single digit
quantities, only a handful have heard the rest
of their Saigon-damaged oeuvre. Their two
45s have been bolstered with four previously
unissued tracks found in the basement of a
now-condemned motorcycle gang hideout.
Along with never before seen photos, this
unheard slice of gritty, hazed-out Ohio psych-
rock finally gets its due beyond the cranked-out
bikers for whom it was originally intended.
