    On his latest effort, The Less You Know The Better, DJ Producer Josh Davis, better known as DJ Shadow revolves into the familiar position as left-field hip hop shaman and sampladelic weaver of gritty, mystic tales of the every day. Recalling much of his early work with a refined slant that demonstrates the maturity of modern manhood, the collection of new tracks has a beginning, middle, and end - think epic film score, without the film.
