The Private Press, DJ Shadowís first album of new material in six years, will explode onto the scene on June 4, according to Rolling Stone. The album will be the proper follow-up to his critically acclaimed í96 debut effort, Endtroducing, though Shadow did release an album of early singles in 1998 called Preemptive Strike. The DJ has also lent his superior talents to the U.N.K.L.E. album, which featured the likes of Thom Yorke and Mike D, and he can currently be seen in the new turntablist documentary Scratch. A short 6-date European tour, his first since last yearís Product Placement tour, has been planed in support of the new album. The jaunt kicks off in Manchester, England on May 18 and wraps in Paris on the 25th.
