Great show and Z-trip is definately a nice guy got my uneasy listening sleeve signed, but it's all bent cuz i think i passed out on it haha.
I think some weren't as impressed because they just expected miracles heh. Still an awesome show with a great live feel. I really enjoyed it and am satasfied. plus so many great people there, we must all party again soon. |

Z-Trip was fucking amazing! I thought the first half of his set and the encore (a fucking encore!) were definitely the stronger points of the show. Everything else though, the vibe, the people, the energy, were all nuts. Bus Driver was great too.
Hands down an awesome awesome show! |

thanks to everyone who came out to support
i was at the l.a and san fran shows, and even though the l.a show had murs and killa kela as surprise guests and was fucking amazing, i think last night's show was the best of the 3 i saw in terms of vibe. vancouver has been somewhat starved, awaiting his return re: peoples expectations...he's been doing his thing for years - many blending records for him is getting old, especially since the emergence of an actual word for his style, which isnt really HIS style - others created, he just innovated and now a ton of other cats are starting to do what he's been doing for many years, even jacking his blends and playing them in their live sets was time to move onto something bigger he hasnt abandoned "mash-ups" (such a ghey word), last night was about giving people something more than what they expected. that said, he is touring in support of an album, and this was a z-trip show, not a z-trip party 2 different things the tour was booked into concert venues for a reason if you came for mash-ups, then goldenchyld should have fed your hunger - that camp lo/cam'ron blend was the shit! (waiting for at least one of you reviewers to send love his way) (shameless plug): the hiphop expo will feature a bunch of my other favourite dj's these are some cats i'd like to put you onto, the way i tried to you people onto z-trip years ago: - mike relm if you were at shambhala or the gift of gab show, you know the deal - shortee blitz he's a BIG uk DJ, but because he plays the mainstream clubs and is on commercial radio (ministry of sound, kiss fm), he gets overlooked. He is as skillfull as andy c, and can rock underground hardrock hiphop heads AND jiggy crowds easily. trust me. the same way i asked you to trust me about z-trip. he's the shit. on my top 10 list - j-rocc from the beat junkies you probably know of him, but few in the city have seen him. fucking incredible. also on my top 10 list - kid capri he's a fucking legend. if you can get over the whole "fuck the mainstream, i'm sooooo underground" thing and actually enjoy a party - this guy will rock you. he can freak destiny's child records and make girls dance and dj's freak out at the same time - a-trak i hope i dont have to sell you on him. kanye's dj, youngest ever dmc, itf, vestax world champ. blah, blah, blah - peanut butter wolf if you were at tokyo lounge in feb...you know he's just a fun dj. nothing more. no gloss. just sick track selection

nothing i can say here that hasn't already been said... awesome show, really good to see Z moving forward with his performance style and keeping a step ahead of the imitators. Goldenchylde & No Luck Club were great too, and Busdriver was a very pleasant surprise. props!!

Kid Capri has been around forever - i'm stoked to see him play.
Z-Trip has stated in several interviews (and his website) that his album and this tour really is about "shifting gears" and moving beyond the somewhat played "mash-up" sounds (*hate* that term) that has gotten to just ridiculous levels what with pre-made "mashups", stupid tunes (gee! lets put eminem over the Eye of the Tiger! ugh), and djs with no skills riding the wave of popularity. Last night, instead of being just a dj rocking a party, it was a *show* and what a hell of a show it was. The vibe was intense, Z was spot on with everything he did (totally didn't expect him to get on the drums) and you could just feel the enthusiasm from Z on stage which easily infected the crowd. I've been following his stuff for years now (long before the term "mash-up" even existed) and if it's one thing I've learned is that Z *loves* what he's doing, loves his fans, and just loves music in general - and it really shows from his performances. Huge ups to spexx for doing it up proper. Hope to see Z back soon. |

Woooow. Amazing show, these guys topped my expectations. Only caught the very end of No Luck Club, but Goldenchylde made the night start out well for me. I liked Z-Trip's "the wall"-esque beginning and then Don McLean as the first track. The rest just kept getting better; it was the most interesting "dj set" i have watch from the drums to Bus Driver to all of them together. Bring him back soon, Spectrum!! Max and Andrei, you guys were great. <3 Andrei, i hope your head is ok!!

z-trip was really good. i didn't really dig the first part of his set. maybe that was because the speaker in the top right corner was crackling and distracting, but finally they fixed it. once he started really getting into it i really had a lot of fun. his scratching is amazing and all his mash-up stuff (right word?) was fucking awesome. he's a really personable guy, too...i liked how he chatted up the crowd a lot and made us feel really good to be there.
highlights: 1) radiohead song 2) who are you by the who 3) that mc guy who can talk fast and looks like he should be teaching history at a high school 4) the cowbell 5) live drumming for about ten minutes i had this guy who was ripped on e screaming into my ear about clubs in LA and how he wore pink shirts so he was okay with gay people even though he wasn't gay himself although he said he wanted to grab my ass. i've never had so much spit sprayed at my left ear in all my life. thank god i finally got away from him. thank you zeeeetrip for making music. i can't wait for mike relm, though. personally i like him better. just more fun choices of music, better sence of humour and amazing beat juggling, scratching and video scratching skills. i heard there's a commodore show coming up with him? |

^i think mash-up sounds cooler than blends.
yeah that mc was so great. i couldn't help picturing him talking in front of students at some high school and teaching them about the american revolution. i think it was the glasses and beard. i bet his wife is hot. |
