DJ Shadow recently decided to treat his fans to some new music that he’s been working on, and released it as a short three track EP titled Liquid Amber. You can listen to all eleven minutes of it by taking a look below the break.

According to the artist, this is the first of what he hopes to be many releases through his label. You can also read a few details about each of the tracks on the EP as well as some of his future plans below.

If you like what you hear, the track “Ghost Town” is available to download for free through Soundcloud.

I’m pleased to announce The Liquid Amber EP. This single/EP serves as the opening salvo in what I hope is a long string of music, by myself and others, on my new imprint: Liquid Amber. There’s two new songs, ‘Ghost Town’ and ‘Mob,’ and a nifty remix of ‘Six Days’ by Machinedrum.

‘Ghost Town’ is an ambitious ride through many of the micro-genres within the Future Bass umbrella that have inspired me recently, while ‘Mob’ is an intentionally stripped-down, Cali-certified head-nodder. Both songs were written, programmed, and mixed by myself, and they represent the forward steps I feel I’ve taken as an engineer. The ‘Six Days’ remix was something I asked Machinedrum to knock out as a tour weapon, and he crushed it (naturally), so I felt it deserved a proper release.

I’m excited about this music and the new imprint, and I really appreciate everyone’s time and consideration.
