Endtroducing….. is the debut studio album by American hip hop artist DJ Shadow. It was released on November 19, 1996 by Mo’ Wax Records. The album was conceived as an effort by Shadow to make an album completely based around sampling. It is structured almost entirely out of sampled elements from genres ranging from hip hop, jazz, funk, psychedelia, as well as samples from films and interviews. All sampling on the album was done on an Akai MPC60 MKII sampler. The album has been cited in Guinness World Records as being the first album created entirely from sampled sources, although the liner notes of the outtakes album Excessive Ephemera note that vocals were contributed in the studio by Lyrics Born and Gift of Gab. 14 years after the initial release, Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt found new life when it was featured in the 2010 video game Splinter Cell: Conviction.
