Contraflow Podcast

Contraflow just wanted to bring you this great new mix from Z-Trip. It´s nice to see a top dj caring about the bigger picture and trying to make a difference as well as rock the party. Check this great slab of carefully crafted, musical consciousness in support of the Barack Obama US presidential campaign. I´m sure that most of you agree that the US definitely needs a change of political direction. Please check Z-Trip's website to find out a bit more about the man and next year if possible we´ll try and drag him down to Contraflow.. Here´s what Z-Trip has to say about the 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: http://djztrip.com/obama/ I encourage you to down

When you realise that the worlds best most creative djs are competing for this title - you know he´s a bad boy, especially when he won the title in 2003 as well.. 2007 also saw the release of his debut album - Playing With Scratches on Grease records and this year sees a world tour - you´ll be hearing more from this boy for sure!

A great eclectic funky party mix from one of the best djs in the UK. Ex winner of the Ninja Tune/Solid Steel radio show mix of the year and one of my favourite guests from the Contraflow parties last year. To quote from the Money Shot site this mix is: "60-odd tracks that have no business going together mingle at the best party your ears have ever gate-crashed. Psyche-rock into straight up funk. The Clash into Barry White and Donovon. Bigged up by DJ Food, DK, Andy Smith and Abdominal's missus." For more music and info: www.djmoneyshot.co.uk
