Z-TRIP
In The Meantime/Uneasy Listening

His style has been described as "oldskool meets newskool, classic rock and roll meets underground hip hop…the right way, and alternative music meets an even bigger alternative." He can turn two totally disparate musical elements into a two-headed lovechild, separated at birth. This Los Angeles transplant by way of Phoenix AZ, is none other than Z-TRIP, a veteran DJ and producer. Who has become something of a live phenomenon traveling the globe spinning for all types of crowds ranging from 450,000-plus capacity crowds opening for the Rolling Stones at SARSTOCK, 60,000 at rock arenas to numerous headlining sold out clubs, concerts and raves. Z-TRIP is known for his ability to always rock the party the hardest… hands down. While others tend to just play music, Z-TRIP does the opposite. Not only does this virtuoso know how to read and work the crowd into a frenzy, but also how to mix the music in a way they’ve never heard before, the whole time incorporating some very technical scratching and effects as well. Z-TRIP is also known for being a passionate "digger" for music. He collects some of the rarest breaks and beats he can find, to the most overlooked common tracks you wouldn’t expect to hear in a DJ set. One thing Z-TRIP is known for is having extremely deep record crates. His knowledge of music gives him a style that encompasses everything from dancehall to funk to hip-hop to drum 'n' bass to house to techno to rock, and everything in between.

A Z-TRIP set can seem like someone has scavenged his way through your record collection--and your parents, and maybe even your little sister’s--and picked out all the choice tunes and expertly cut and scratched his way through all of that with some secret weapons thrown in as well. Unwittingly Z-TRIP has given himself the reputation as being a "rock god" by employing lots of different rock ‘n’ roll breaks (instead of the classic hip-hop standards) into his mixes. He has also become known for his custom live “remixes” or “mashup’s, for example taking Jane’s Addiction’s Jane Says and remixing it with Jay-Z’ Hovva live on 2 turntables. His mashup style has been copied as far as Japan and has become common place in England. Still Z-Trip is the original and the only who can pull it off live. Always a crowd favorite.

He has also applied this style to producing tracks. His original production work appears on respected compilations such as Bomb’s Return of the DJ series 1 thru 3, OM's Tektonics and Ubiquity’s No Categories. Z-TRIP will also be appearing on the forthcoming Astralwerks compilation Constant Elevation. He has re-mixed artists as diverse as Beastie Boys, Jane's Addiction, Butthole Surfers, Linkin Park, Del the Funky Homosapien, Divine Styler, Freestyle Fellowship, and Kool Keith. His re-mix of Rush’s "Tom Sawyer" appeared in, and on the soundtrack for the Dreamworks movie Small Soldiers.

Z-TRIP released his first mix record with DJ P entitled Uneasy Listening, Vol.1 in ’01. This record became a cult classic before its release, being bootlegged more times then a Grateful Dead concert. Uneasy Listening combines ‘80s classics, monster rock anthems and homogenous pop hits with pounding underground hip-hop beats and funk rhythms, then when you’re not looking, turns the whole thing on its head. Voted best CD of the month In VICE. Rolling Stone choose Uneasy Listening as top musical moment of 2002, SPIN picked it as a must have record, URB gave it top honors as well.

In addition to his DJ appearances throughout Europe, Japan and North America, Z-TRIP has been getting loads of press in magazines such as SPIN (he was ranked 9th best turntablists in the world), Rolling Stone “Cool DJ of 2002”, LA Times, URB (part of the Next 100), VICE, XLR8R and Wired to name a few. He has played numerous 2X4s with the likes of Q-Bert, DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, Mix Master Mike, Craze, A-Trak, The Executioners, Swamp, Radar and (The inventor of the scratch itself) Grand Wizard Theodore. More recently, he blew minds throughout the U.S., Europe and Japan on the Product Placement tour with DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist, where every DJ was spinning sets exclusively from 7" 45s.

Z-Trip also appeared in Scratch The Movie (Documentary on Djs from Afrika Bambaata to Z-Trip) which sold nearly 100,000 DVDs. He has also appeared numerous times on MTV2 starring in his own 30 minute segment “Z-Trip’s How To Rock A Party.” Currently Z-Trip is in the Studio working on his major label debut for Hard Left/Hollywood Records. Then he will be heading out to do a co-headlining Scratch Tour.

dont be an idiot

i cant comment much on the main room but the breaks room was stacked with talent. the music in that room was insane. it seems like the people that told you the music "sucked" were people who dont know jack shit about anything

[omega_image]

^lol fully agreed

i didnt even have to go to know that the music would have kicked ass

[Tayfoon]

^ Now that's an ignorent comment

You wouldnt have to go ? Every DJ has a bad set from time to time.

For Example the last AvB show was BUNK

[-DLO_604-]

Instead of hearing what people said about the music why didn't you just come to one of Solid's events and check it out yourself?

Instead of saying you hear this you hear that..Either way you put it people will always have different opinions. Your "sources" (since your an ID&T pic as your avatar i'm taking it as your a trance addict) could be wrong. You weren't there to hear the music.

Hell I could go around saying that I hated the breaks room and the music licked, when I'm not too much of a breaks fan, but even I am willing to admit that the breaks was dope at Dooms Night.
