Fear Quote by DJ Shadow

“When I make music, it takes me two hours to…” quote by DJ Shadow — Download Open image

“When I make music, it takes me two hours to get into the flow. To me it's like tapping into some kind of subconscious frequency: I just have to turn everything else off, open up part of myself, expose my fears and try to work through it in the music that I'm making.”
