Jesse Brede - Proton “RAW” - October

 Another month, another mix from my Proton show, “RAW”.  This months guest was Cilly C.  I had the pleasure of hanging with him on a recent boat party on Lake Travis.  He’s a super cool and friendly guy and a decent DJ too!  My mix is a pretty straight ahead mix of minimal, tech house and progressive.  Look for a return to the tempo changes next month.

DJ Z-Trip Obama Mix

It’s getting awfully close to election day and today is actually the last day to register to vote.  I so hope that America can see its way to elect someone with honesty and dignity.

Grab  yourself a copy of the Z-Trip Obama Mix here, http://djztrip.com/obama/  Here’s Z-Trip on his mix.

Recently, Shepard Fairey and I threw some fundraisers for the Obama campaign. We called them “The Party for Change”. (If you don’t know who Shepard is—among many other things—he is the one responsible for the image on the right).

I’ve been wanting to put the mix I’ve been doing at these shows online, in hopes of spreading the word to people who need to hear it most. So, here it is: (zipped vbr mp3 / 84.7 MB)

Download Download (Radio Edit)

I encourage you to download it and pass it along to anyone you think should hear it. Feel free to burn copies, share it with friends, family, co-workers, strangers, and especially anyone you know is on the fence about this election. I’m also putting out a radio friendly version, in case anyone wants to broadcast it.

Please share the message. Educate those who may not know what is really going on. There is still time.

If you, or anyone you know, isn’t registered to vote, I encourage you to make it a priority and fix that before it’s too late. This election is WAY too important for anyone to not get involved. If you need more information on how and where to register, vote, or participate, please check the links below.

I honestly feel if we make our voices heard, this time WILL be different.

Peace,

Z-TRIP

Interview with edIT from The Glitch Mob

If you haven’t heard of edIT or The Glitch Mob, check them out.  Their sound takes in what I like about intelligent Hip-Hop, glitch electronica, party rockin house music and mashes it all together.  edIT’s latest album, “Certified Air Raid Material” has been out for a while now but I feel like its just now gaining serious recogition.

I featured “Battling Go Go Yubari In Downtown L.A”  on a recent mix I did for “RAW” as well, so check that out if you want.   I know he was in Austin not to long but unfortunately I missed the show and don’t have anything to report.  Check out the interview and buy his album if you can, its worth it.

Note, I found this interview on thecrafttv.com, I dig their site and they have an upcoming interview with Z-Trip that I’m looking forward to seeing.

T-Pain’s Vocoder fights back

This is so great, I just had to post it.  I’ve been chatting with my roommate about how the “Gold” standard of Pop/Rap music is these f*cking vocalist using Melodyne or a vocoder and that the effect has now become the sound that people recognize and buy.  It blows me away that people want to listen to junk like this.  Don’t they realize it’s a mask for artist’s that can’t hold key?  On the other hand, I’m all about technology and what you can do with it, but it still bugs the shit out of me that artists like T-Pain make this “their” sound.
