DJ SHADOW – Six Days


The Possession of anything begins in the mind.
(Bruce Lee)


UPDATE: I finally found the name of the song sampled to make this one. It is Six Days War by Colonel Bagshot, with vocals featuring Kenneth Perry. The sources are Last FM and IMDB. Listen to it here.

The year was 2002, DJ Shadow was keen to try something new and different for this video and approached Wong Kar-Wai, one of his favorite filmmakers. The idea was to make a short film revolving around the song’s hook line: “Tomorrow never comes until it’s too late….” (Source: iFilm)

The plot centers around a guy who, upon discovering his girlfriend has betrayed him, tries to destroy all traces of their relationship, eventually realizing that what is done cannot be undone.

The cast features Chang Chen (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as the lead actor and Danielle Graham, Asia’s top model, who plays his woman. The video was shot by famed cinematographer Christopher Doyle, who has worked on all of Wong Kar-Wai’s films.

DJ Shadow (real name Josh Davis) is a turntablist musician. His debut album, Entroducing….. made in the Guinness World Book of Record , being the first entirely sampled music album. He also produced most of the tracks in U.N.K.L.E.’s Psyence Fiction, one of my favourite album.

Wong Kar-Wai is a Hong Kong based film director known for his unique visual style of romantic art films. His work includes In the Mood for Love and my favourite Hong Kong Express.

UPDATE: Alla fine ho trovato il nome del pezzo campionato. Si tratta di Six Days War dei Colonel Bagshot, con la parte vocale di Kenneth Perry. Le fonti sono Last FM ed IMDB. Potete ascoltarla qui!!!

L’anno è il 2002, DJ Shadow desidera provare qualcosa di nuovo e diverso per il suo video ed avvicina Wong Kar-Wai, uno dei suoi cineasti preferiti. L’idea è di creare un corto attorno alla frase distintiva della canzone: “Tomorrow never comes until it’s too late….” (Source: iFilm)

Il plot è centrato su un ragazzo che, scoprendo l’infedeltà della sua ragazza, prova a distruggere ogni traccia della loro relazione, per capire alla fine che ogni tentativo in tal senso è vano.

Il cast vede Chang Chen (La tigre e il dragone) nel ruolo principale, e Danielle Graham, top model asiatica, che interpreta la sua donna. Le luci sono ovviamente del mestro Christopher Doyle, che ha praticamente lavorato in tutti i film di Wong Kar-Wai.

DJ Shadow (vero nome Josh Davis) è un musicista “da console”. Il suo album d’esordio, Entroducing….. è entrato nel Guinness dei primati, trattandosi del primo album interamente campionato. Ha anche prodotto tracce per Psyence Fiction degli U.N.K.L.E. uno dei miei album preferiti.

Wong Kar-Wai è un regista con base ad Hong Kong, noto per lo stile visivo unico dei suoi romantici film d’arte. La sua opera include In the Mood for Love e il mio preferito Hong Kong Express.

    No idea. I found this: “The vocalist is credited as ‘unknown’, so we’re guessing this is based around one of Shadow’s crate digging finds, with added instumentation courtesy of the Helliocentrics (see Jazzman records)” (Source: Scenario Records)
