Z-Trip
DJ Z-Trip’s sound has a unique place in today's music scene. As a performer, he is one of the very few able to play traditional festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonaroo, SXSW, and Australia’s Big Day Out, as well as the EDM circuit. His Electric Daisy Carnival and Electric Zoo sets were both festival highlights.
DJ Z-Trip’s artist debut album “Shifting Gears” received 4 stars in Rolling Stone. As a producer, he worked on Activision’s DJ Hero series. He is a featured avatar in the game alongside Daft Punk, Tiesto, Grandmaster Flash, and Deadmau5. Z-Trip also remixed tracks for Nirvana, The Beastie Boys, Dead Weather and The Jackson 5 to name a few. Most recently, he collaborated with Lee Scratch Perry to rework Bob Marley’s classic “Punky Reggae Party” and with Brillz for Jay Z’s hit “Dirt Off Your Shoulder”.
No stranger to TV, DJ Z-Trip closed out the 2013 Grammy Awards alongside LL Cool J, Chuck D, Tom Morello, and Travis Barker. He has appeared on Jimmy Fallon, Carson Daly, and Jimmy Kimmel Live, as well as in various documentaries and films.
In today’s expanding DJ scene, Z-Trip’s versatility, music, and style continue to be a breath of fresh air.

Mitchell and Ruff: Brazilian Trip

JazzWax by Marc Myers
I'm not sure why the jazz duo of Dwike Mitchell and Willie Ruff weren't better known in the '50s and '60s, when they did most of their recording—or why they still aren't household names. Part of the reason, I suppose, is that the delicate combination of Mitchell (piano) and Ruff (French horn and bass) wasn't exactly a happening sound back then. Delicate and sensitive with touches of classical influence, the duo's jazz wasn't pop flavored in the late '50s or ...

As music sales go further from physical CD's and become all digital, many mass merchandise stores have been cutting down on shelf space and changing their marketing strategies in their music sections. Big stores like Target and Walmart have continued to sell music by partnering with artists and selling exclusive albums with more content or incentives attached. They have also changed the look of some of their music sections in-store. On one of my trips to Target, I noticed something ...

The Grateful Dead - What a Long Strange Trip It's Been (Warner Brothers 1977, 1990)

Music and More by Tim Niland
During my college years, the dormitories rocked and rolled with the sounds of Pink Floyd, Bob Marley and especially The Grateful Dead. Jerry Garcia was still alive during this period and I have vivid memories of people I knew bailing out of classes if there was a Dead show within 500 miles of campus. While they were a band known for improvisational flights of fancy, they were not free improvisors making music whole cloth from nothing, what the Grateful Dead ...
