At the risk of turn­ing any­one off, I’m vot­ing for Sen­a­tor Obama in a month. I won’t take this blog and turn it into a dia­tribe of why I am, but, suf­fice it to say, I think we need him and we’ll ben­e­fit from him in the exec­u­tive. That said, I was pumped to hear this new mix by DJ Z-Trip up at his site. He and OBEY have been doing these “Party for Change” par­ties recently and this is the mix he does for the shows. As his intro states, it’s the most con­scious things he’s done and it’s filled with polit­i­cal spo­ken word bits, polit­i­cal songs, and hot beats and inven­tive mixes like Z-Trip is known for bring­ing. I love this guy. Going back to “Rock­star,” he’s been one of the most inter­est­ing DJs out there and if you’ve ever seen him get com­pletely hyped by pump­ing up audi­ences (check the Brain­freeze or Prod­uct Place­ment DVDs), you’ll know he’s gen­uinely in it to enter­tain the crowd. Go to his site, get the mix, rock out, and keep your mind open!
