Endtroducing..... is the first studio album by DJ Shadow, released in 1996 (see 1996 in music.) It is unique in that it is built entirely from samples of other audio, such as hip hop, jazz, funk, psychedelia, old television shows, interviews, and percussion tracks. The album has been cited in the Guinness World Records as being the first album created completely from sampled sources. It received almost unanimous worldwide critical acclaim.

In 2005 DJ Shadow released a "Deluxe Edition" of the album with a second disc containing demos and alternate versions of original tracks, tracks exclusive to CD singles and a vintage live set recorded on October 30, 1997.

The album's cover depicts Solesides members Chief Xcel and Lyrics Born in Records, a record store in Sacramento, California [1].

NPR included Endtroducing..... in its list of the top 300 songs of the 20th century [2].

The entirety of the album was composed on an MPC60, a machine which Shadow would later pass on to aforementioned Chief Xcel.
