Radical Creatives: DJ Shadow, Vinyl, and the Art of Deep Listening with STARJAY

Ron Lesser SOBs #8, “Eye of the Fire” Paperback Novel Cover Original Art (Gold Eagle, 1985)... the cover art on DJ Shadow’s album, Action Adventure.

Have we lost the art of truly listening to music? In an era of infinite streaming choices, shuffling playlists, and AI-generated recommendations, sitting down with a full album—start to finish—feels almost radical.

On this week’s Radical Creatives, DJ STARJAY took that experience to the airwaves, spinning all four sides of DJ Shadow’s Action Adventure on vinyl. This is an album born from Shadow’s own quest to reconnect with the joy of making music just for himself, inspired by lost radio mixes and deep vinyl exploration. Paired with dark melodic tracks that set the mood, it was a sonic journey into space, texture, and time.

If you missed it live, you can still tap into the full experience in the KSVY archives:
