Free Download: DJ Shadow Offers Free Download of DJ Set that Got Him Kicked Off the Decks in Miami

It's New Year's Eve and what better way to kick off 2013 than with a dope free download from the legendary DJ Shadow! You've probably heard the story of how Shadow was recently booted of the turntables in a posh Miami nightclub for playing music that was dubbed "too future."

Shadow vowed to release that set so we could all be the judge and today he has done just that! Download the genre-blurring set below and be sure to blast this loud as you usher in 2013:



Special Thanks: DJ Shadow for always innovating, 2013 being the dawning of a new era, The San Francisco 49ers back in the playoffs, Solomun, Headtron New Years Eve party in Santa Monica, good friends and much love

Music Mondays: Massive Attack's 3D Puts Together Very Special Free Mixtape To Honor The Late Singer Terry Callier

Massive Attack have long been considered electronic dance music pioneers and one of our favorite groups. They recently re-released a special remastered version of their seminal debut album, "Blue Lines" earlier this month, and now, after the sad passing of legendary folk/soul singer, Terry Callier, founding Massive Attack member, 3D has put together this very special free mixtape stemming from their recording sessions in 2005. The results were the standout track, "Live With Me" from Massive Attack's greatest hits album, "Collection" and some additional collaborations on Callier's last album, "Hidden Conversations."

Fans will love hearing how 3D took some of the studio outtakes, stripped them down and spliced in some very candid moments with Callier in the studio. You can hear just how warm his voice still sounded.

Take a listen to the Windmill Sessions below:



Here's the video for the much different version of "Live With Me" that was featured on Massive Attack's excellent "Collection" album:



Special Thanks: Terry Callier who will never be forgotten, Massive Attack, Rainy Day Music, Blue Lines Remastered album sounding better than ever, Big laughs at the Ad-Rock Variety show at Largo, Random Movement podcasts and quinoa.
