The Serato Icon Artist Series continues with DJ Z Trip. Back in high school when I heard there was another "Live at Future Primitive" mix featuring the "Bombshelter DJs" Z Trip and Radar, I had to have it. This was after I'd already been obsessing over Shortkut and Cut Chemist's Future Primitive mix and was ready for anything Future Primitive related. Needless to say I was blown away by the intricate mixing and flawless scratching, it's stilll one of my favorites. I went on to dig up many of Z Trip's other live mixes and was always impressed at how original and creative he was, not afraid to go out on a ledge and play some crazy mashup (long before mashups were even known as mashups, all manual vinyl blending!).
