Z-Trip | Crate Diggers | Fuse

[@wesleymantooth8016]

The way he describes walking into the S.F. Amoeba Records for the first time, is exactly how I felt too. Vinyl heaven.

[@SirNickyT]

I could watch him do this for hours. He still still holds the crown for best live show I've ever seen. Ever.

[@PLOttawa]

I love these vinyl segments. Makes me feel I'm not alone.

[@DrVonNostrand]

Michael Jackson said it best: you are not alone

[@fredrich12341]

Love this guy, he's so humble.

[@OGtalks]

Z Trip personally gave me one of his cd's when he was down under. it still blows me away. At the beginning he mixes janis joplin with dj shadow. It still gives me goose bumps. word to Z trip!

[@BLANK520]

a legend in his own right & the last of a dying breed. Much Love from Arizona....

[@samgroove5420]

Z Trip is the fuckin' man! I just spent the past fifteen minutes glued to my computer screen, and now I'm gonna watch the rest of the Crate Diggers episodes. Please keep doing these!

[@JonnySublime]

"That was the moment, I got Quest Love validation on some Sesame Street shit."

[@calixa]

i got inspired, and now have an exclusive crate diggers on my channel. this guy blew my mind back in the day when I heard Rockstar on the Return of the DJ comp.

[@jerzwhite4548]

Dope Z-trip has always been one of my favorite Dj's

[@masonlumber]

Thank you Z-Trip!

[@PLOttawa]

Good to know David : ). You look around you and it's like no one even knows vinyl existed! Love how these guys have such care for the vinyl they collected, on top of all the great stories!

[@70monkey]

Great videos fuse, thanks for putting them on youtube for all to see. We owe you!

[@omnicron701]

I remember seeing him play at bar smith in phx a couple of years ago. The club closed at 2am but he kept rocking the party until the club pulled the plug literally lol ending his set close to 3am. Hahaha dope night

[@bf13137]

omnicron701, awesome! I have fond memories of seeing Z-Trip many times back in the 90s. Bombshelter DJs were the shit back then in PHX.

[@dublplus]

Anywhere they're not, that's where I would be. Love ztrip for this attitude. It shows in his mixes too. The obey mix is one of my favorites.

[@lordtoranaga]

i do the BPM thing too. I love this series, please give us more.

[@envirosponsible]

This guy's collection makes the most sense to me in terms of how he has it organized. It's all about the BPM for me.

[@JJMza]

+envirosponsible Where can you get that info? Or it's entirely based on knowing the structure yourself and knowing the track and done via manually (as far as physical copies go).

[@envirosponsible]

+JJ, M. I use all digital files so Serato has the bpm for each song. It's harder with records but can be done with a stopwatch and calculator.

[@jonathanwright2925]

I had to figure the BPM out on my own WTF. I remember when they first were trying to put accurate BPM counters on mixers. Or ones you would have to tap to the beat and it would count them out off of that. Serato's pretty damn accurate unless it doubles the BPM on you. Which it loves doing that when you start dealing with music where the BPM shifts due to live drumming.

[@stijnaap]

envirosponsible .

[@thevinyltruffle]

Omg that Star Wars is kind of a must have. Pretty cheap in Discogs. Gonna have to grab that one day.

[@still20dollas]

@StylistRhymist... Chill out man...this man has accomplished a lot in the world of djing. If his style doesn't suit your taste, so be it,but that doesn't mean he sucks. Uneasy listening was the type of mix tape I was putting together at the time and he brought that style to the masses which in turn helped me out. Much respect.

[@mrdeezle]

Comes across as the nicest guy out of this whole series.

[@rogermoore27]

WOW! I felt so proud at 9:03!

[@tonysmith5878]

AND U GOTTA DO YOU!!!!!! PAY NO ATTENTION TO WHAT ANYBODY ELSE IS LOOKING FOR OR DOING, FOCUS ON WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU AND ONLY YOU! I'M GOING FOR MINE AND THESE DUDES ARE INSPIRATIONAL TO ME BIG TIME. THIS IS WHAT DIGGING IS ALL ABOUT AND FINDING INTERESTING WAX.

[@klassicjam]

Awesome Video!! Superior Knowledge on History of Vinyl & Influence of Artists. Definitely took me to School! Yeah, the Feeling of Digging in the Record Store - We all been there losing track of time. Nice collection, of course!!

[@DJmonAtomic]

what a sound, honest geezer

[@robberyexpert]

thank you!! you guys are doing a great job, would love to hear what DJ Krush and DJ Shadow have to say too.

[@Dunsgroveau]

You guys should have made this an hour long he would of had enough stories for the whole thing! haha seems like a mad dude, crazy collection.

[@hurryupslowdown1845]

I figured Shadow would be on here, but regardless, the shot of him sitting in that basement full of vinyl in the doc I mention above is insane.. Looks like the vinyl goes on forever.. Anyway, this show is very interesting to see how different DJs care about different things and to see the ranges of their collections and what they treasure.. Thanks FUSE...

[@Fuse]

Subscribe to fuse and we'll send updates on when to expect them!

[@muzixco]

Amazing record collection, and cool attitude, 12:45 epic. Cheers my friend.

[@fleadoggreen9062]

Yea I remember seeing escape from New York when it came out at the show It was awesome,

[@Fuse]

Thanks! We're working on it!

[@patrickwayne]

i found that Warriors soundtrack for 50 cents a few weeks ago...so stoked.

[@Merjeh]

I remember meeting this cat back in 1999 at Cold Crush BBoy Jam in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Cool fnckin' dude!

[@the_hausing_authority]

man these are great.

[@0bscura]

I had that Star Wars story record! Still think you need to finish your kids album. Do it before my daughter grows up.

[@dpkt94]

YEEEEEES NEW CRATE DIGGERS!!!!!!!

[@KidASquared]

Uneasy Listening is the jam

[@DoOrDieSthSide]

Hanging for a DJ Shadow episode...

[@thevinyltruffle]

You can always tell a dj by the way they handle their records. In a way that would make an audiophile cut their hands off.

[@xxxaragon]

huge props at this guy for not paying outlandish prices!

[@fullmetalmisery]

DJ SHADOW!! NEXT!!

[@jamesradskijr.9745]

Gawd I'd love that Warriors

[@shebazz420]

Oh snap, that was my first record too. Still have it!

[@mazeone1]

The name of the "ice cream record shop in santa fe" was actually "Charlie's" in Albuquerque. Same state, different cities They took out the ice cream and soda's though :(. oh well, more room for more records!

[@preemo4life]

Yo. That was dope. haha Z-trip is a cool cat.

[@aandr7127]

only seen one other version of that skywalker/ jedi picture disc at 14:09 ,missed out on buying it by like 20 mins

[@dontlookmeinmyeyeswhenudan5241]

Aand R eBay?? Sounds about right

[@ollieBoombayay]

I know quite a few deep, deep record collectors (10,000+) and I've never heard of plastic sleeves being bad for the records. What you might be thinking of is original shrink wrap which is skin tight and couldn't possibly cause warping on cheaper presses when the plastic contracts. One thing I've noticed on brand new plastic sleeves is static which could potentially mess up your equipment, but slip mats have static too so that probably isn't a huge concern.

[@ambtenaar]

This is soooo awesome!!

[@kendallsworldofcrafts]

Please keep this series going. Is there anyway we can check when you'll be releasing future episodes? Twitter? FB? I want to know who you guys will be interviewing next.

[@TheSCAMUSIC]

Incredible collection!

[@D84D]

I lost 2 relationships over the love of hip hop/producing/djing. I got married and lost my relationship with hip hop/producing/djing. Sad I know.

[@LoDaKid]

Vagina sadly always trumps all

[@TerenceKearns]

Z-trip was on the SCRATCH documentary (can find it here on youtube).

[@tonysmith5878]

U GOTTA BE HUMBLE THAT'S HOW U BECOME GREATER.

[@bigboss2085]

I never knew what acetate was until it was explained in this vid. Nice

[@wreckx50]

Z-Trip got jokes man, and these jokes help tell his story!

[@ADASilentWonder]

it works for albums if you only usually play a certain song from it, but it can get confusing and you gotta make some decisions about where things go. I like to organize by bpm for some stuff, but not everything.

[@thekskill]

Awesome sauce all around.

[@jonkennedyfederation]

i love Zach.... proper

[@LebiHarms]

he is just a dope motherbrother. diggin like i do. the crazy pieep.

[@DonShacks]

00:54 ROFL! Classíc.

[@thomasmiller9205]

I miss seeing him and Emile and Radar rockin’ parties in some dirty west Phoenix spaces.

[@beatsdrumming7992]

wow..i have born to add and i used the same cookie monster munch u joint..

[@theodorehuxtable6001]

Son is stand-up hilarious.

[@seltzernator]

need one for djp!

[@coincideart8811]

trip out on Z. Def true digger.

[@glendonjulien125]

Trinidad 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@MrMargaretScratcher]

Oh yeah... Incredible Battenburg Band! Got it ages ago, then cropped up a brand new one in a charity shop (thrift store, if you're over in the states) not so long ago. Which is ace as my original one has been battered over the years... Ripped it if you want wavs....

[@epicwizedome]

Totally dope, but too short!

[@dannyz5512]

MC 9000 FT Jesus Killer inside me great jam...

[@palmdesertmidcentury1872]

so sick

[@birddogfreemann]

Very interesting blind sighted record pick, going straight to heaven. This guy has truly found his heaven. This pick was NOT a coincidence. Very profound moment despite the fact that the actual group and song are a bit mellow dramatic. I wonder if he drinks Monster Energy Drinks and if he is planning to release a t-shirt with the word DOPE on it? He actually was intent on setting up Monster to get sued by the Beastie Boys as he saw a residual, undisclosed amount from the law suit victory.

[@shutupandgoawaynow10]

did Common sign that at the Roxy in Phx 94?

[@jax2428]

Yeah I still do that with my credit cards. 😆

[@Journalz]

C is for Cookie! Thats good enough for me!!!

[@DokterKattenbakvulling]

Damn I wish Dilla was still around for this series.....

[@DEMERL]

Love it! Got that C is for Cookie! F-Bombs!

[@shawnmkandla7892]

what is. that track at "0:25 - 0:33" please. .

[@juliandesoto3102]

Shawn Mkandla idk u tell me

[@LebiHarms]

10:08 ?stlove validation on some sesame shit... great!

[@yoyopoplondon]

Beastie Boys instrumentals! we need this for hip hop karaoke!

[@philphader]

This must pretty much be the most beeped episode of Crate Diggers.

[@djscratchdog]

Yo Radio and Eazy does it I have that one too. dang Z-trip and I have the same taste.

[@JimmyGreenRules]

whoah, this is dope as hell. lovin it. ....I'm very happy to see those Sesame Street / Warriors / Escape From NY albums... I've got them as well! I'd love that Eazy E though! :)

[@instawhut]

Him-mutha-fuckin-self. which is why he's dope.

[@waefonkey]

Ice cream spot he's talking about is Charlie's records in albuquerque new mexico.

[@DJRickyJay]

dope video, dope dj

[@Bweezy320]

Nice

[@TyhlerNovac]

check out my blends Motown Breakdown Closer In da club and Warrior's remix ... from my album Presents DJ Leap and the Cellulyte Mixtape ....

[@RaspHaunt]

dope

[@SirChocolateHobo]

Tino's Breaks!

[@MrMargaretScratcher]

Aha! Ultimate Cakes and Sweets at 4:12 !

[@issacbluecoat7597]

i wonder where he got his style from or who motivated him

[@xDJCRUZZZx]

Because a show about regular record collectors would be pretty boring. Plus this is a good show for Hip Dj's and more importantly for Hip Hop heads.

[@acidhalfman7902]

Presage!

[@tonysmith5878]

THAT'S WHAT'S UP.... CARPENTER WENT TO TOWN ON THAT SCORE FOR "ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK" AND Z TRIP SITS ON THREE COPIES OF IT..... PROBABLY MORE SINCE THE AIRING OF THE SEGMENT.

[@tapemaster8252]

I probably heard music or beats he produced just don't know what they are, I saw him on a DJ documentary

[@dubrenaissancebs]

big tings

[@pansacare]

❤️

[@Liviaa24]

Cool personality.

[@JoshuaFryer]
