Artist DJ Z-Trip

More than a decade before Girl Talk threw mash-ups into hyper-speed, there was DJ Z-Trip. Equal parts traditional vinyl scratcher and Serato enthusiast, the Arizona-bred Zach Sciacca is known to interlace everything from classical compositions to Motown to Metallica. Z-Trip has released dozens of mix-tapes, remixes, EPs, and full-length albums throughout his career, and in 2008 was tapped by moveon.org to create a mix in honor of President Barack Obama’s inauguration; the result was 2009’s Victory Lap, which is available for free on his website.
