In Photos: DJ Shadow @ Tripod, Dublin
Bringing his stunning new AV show back to Dublin for the second time in just under three months, Josh Davis played the city's Tripod venue over the weekend as part of this year's OFFSET Festival. Although the venue took a little while to fill up, Shadow delivered a welcome mix of new and old tunes - including a handful of reworked cuts from his pioneering 1996 masterpiece, Endtroducing.
Perhaps the highlight of the night, though, was the aforementioned audiovisual set-up, which basically saw Davis encased within a giant spherical DJ booth onto which all manner of funky HD visuals were projected. At times the whole thing resembled a stage production of an Apollo space mission - or even a hip-hop take on Tron. For the second half of the show, the front of the sphere was raised to reveal Davis crouched over his mixers, a bit like a goateed Wayne Coyne in a baseball cap (minus all the fake blood).
