DJ Z-Trip updated his site with some news, including his brush with a bomb threat (and DJing shortly thereafter), his posting of a new Obama mix (saving that for another post) and this new video for the N.A.S.A. track Money on which Z provides some cuts. This particular track features Z-Trip, Chuck D., David Byrne, … Continue reading N.A.S.A.: Money (feat. Z-Trip, Chuck D., etc.) (video)
After rocking Denver at Unconventional ’08, DJ Z-Trip is now offering his 54-minute Obama mix as a free download, encouraging people to share it and its message. From the man himself: “I encourage you to download it and pass it along to anyone you think should hear it. Feel free to burn copies, share it … Continue reading DJ Z-Trip: Obama mix (free download)
So maybe it’s not quite as rousing as Barack Obama actually speaking in person, but DJ Z-Trip makes excellent use of technology by interspersing some political commentary – Obama meets M.I.A.? – throughout this set at Manifest Hope Gallery in Denver last week during the Democratic National Convention. Watch as Z-Trip takes an Obama clip … Continue reading DJ Z-Trip at Unconventional ’08
Better late than never? Here’s a video for Automatic At It, one of the hotter tracks off Z-Trip’s All-Pro Soundtrack (at eMusic) that came out late last summer. Anyone wanna take a stab at what’s going on conceptually here? Aceyalone, the lone survivor post-Armageddon? Aceyalone, motorcycle jockey sent from the future? Whatever, I love the … Continue reading DJ Z-Trip and Aceyalone: Automatic At It (video)
A few of you seemed to dislike the last DJ Z-Trip remix I posted, his reworking of Nirvana’s Lounge Act. Well, I’m here to tell you I won’t quit posting anything he does so long as he’s making them available. This time, Z-Trip takes on a hip-hop heavyweight – LL Cool J’s Mama Said Knock … Continue reading Mama Said Knock You Out (DJ Z-Trip remix)
In keeping with his generous habit of giving away music, DJ Z-Trip is offering for download his remix of Nirvana’s Lounge Act from the soundtrack to the video game Skate. I talked about this mix previously here. Also up for grabs are two blends – M@shUptight and Soundclash – from a recently released white label … Continue reading Z-Trip offers Lounge Act remix for download
Fresh off a tour from the release of his All-Pro Soundtrack for All-Pro 2K8, DJ Z-Trip is back in the video-game business. This time, he’s contributed his skills to the EA game Skate. I’ve always been a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater guy myself, but then I don’t own an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. One … Continue reading Stream: Z-Trip remixes Nirvana’s Lounge Act
On Wednesday, I went with a couple friends to see DJ Z-Trip with Aceyalone and Gift of Gab at the Brickhouse in Phoenix for the final stop on the tour to promote Z-Trip’s All-Pro Soundtrack (previous post No. 1, previous post No. 2). What do I even say about this guy that I haven’t already? … Continue reading Galactic with Z-Trip: Bounce Baby
I know I just posted about Z-Trip and his All-Pro Soundtrack earlier this month, but now Z has made a track off the album available for download on his own site. Like most of the album, Doin’ It Like This leans heavy on rock, taking a Clutch song, Profits of Doom, as its main sample. … Continue reading DJ Z-Trip: Doin’ It Like This
Spray-painted on sidewalk outside Amoeba; I knew I’d use this photo some day. DJ Z-Trip, a favorite here, is the point man on the new soundtrack for the video game All-Pro Football 2K8 (Take Two/2K Sports), which comes out July 16. Really, I couldn’t care less about the game – I’ve been sort of a … Continue reading New Z-Trip (feat. Chali 2na): Something Different
