Mashups are sooo 2001. Now that every Serato-toting DJ has figured out how to drop T-Pain a cappellas on top of Steve Miller riffs, these shotgun weddings sound about as fresh as "Walk This Way." Lucky for us, supreme turntablist DJ Z-Trip — who's made mashups his MO since his earliest demos — still has the ability to surprise. From his lawsuit-inviting underground mixes to his cleared-samples 2005 major-label debut, Shifting Gears, Z-Trip always shows an ear for what he calls "uneasy listening" — in which disparate acts like Black Sabbath, Lyrics Born, and Rush all clamor for attention.
