DJ Shadow has released a surprise new EP with special appearances from Nas, Danny Brown and Oscar-winning Steven Price.

The project is titled The Mountain Has Fallen, taking its title from Shadow’s studio album last year. The EP is four-track project and is available to stream of Soundcloud.

The opening track ‘Systematic’ that features Nas made its official debut on forth season of the HBO show Silicon Valley, which has a reputation for great soundtracks.

The following track ‘Horror Show’ features Danny Brown and is a mechanised belter. Listen to the track below.

The final track on the EP, ‘Corridors’ features Steven Price who has worked on the scores of Gravity, Baby Driver and Suicide Squad. 

In a statement, as Rolling Stone report, Shadow described this album supplement as a “victory lap” follow last year’s The Mountain Will Fall.

“Prior to the last album, I made a lot of high-risk moves behind the scenes, including walking away from a comfortable major-label deal,” Shadow said. “My thinking was, If The Mountain Will Fall LP ends up being successful, I’d be in a much more positive place in my career.”

“With everything that’s happened since it came out, I feel like I bet on myself and won. So I guess you could say that this new EP is my version of a victory lap. It’s a celebration, and an extension of those confident steps forward.”
