Magnanimous Brewing

• Join us for a DJ Shadow experience with producers, an exclusive beer release, and DJs.

Beat producers and DJs showcase LoFi, chill, and Dj Shadow-inspired sets. Dj Shadow is a legend of the west coast Hip Hop movement, in the late 90s and early 2000's he created a cult following with the "archeology of hip hop" which included sampling portions from obscure records by digging through shops, basements, and barns, it's like "pawn stars" or "garage finds" for Djs - before those shows were even a thing... Except the prize wasn't a valuable antique, but a beat sample that just couldn't be found by anyone else. A true "digger," DJ Shadow has influenced so many producers, emcees, and Djs. We're excited to bring you this unique "head bobbing" experience at Magnanimous Brewing, so be sure to plan your Bloom Schedule to experience the event, also be sure to take home a pack of "Dj Shadow" inspired beer, brewed right on Yellow Brick Row / Craft Row at Magnanimous Brewing, which is sure to be crafted as uniquely as Dj Shadow makes beats.
