Live at The Future Primitive Soundsession, Vol. 2
Like itspredecessor, this installment in the Live at the Future Primitive Soundsession series features two DJs on five turntables in a live performance at a San Francisco club. Z-Trip and Radar might not be quite as well-known as Cut Chemist (Ozomatli, Jurassic 5) or Shortkut (Invisibl Skratch Piklz), but that doesn't make them any less impressive on the turntables. In fact, their set--built around a lot of classic rock (Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion," Rush's "Tom Sawyer") and hip-hop (Black Sheep's "This or That," LL Cool J's "Rock the Bells," and many more)--is, if anything, more fun than their counterparts' effort. Listening to favorites like the Beastie Boys' "Hey Ladies," Queen's "Flash's Theme," and Eric B & Rakim's "Paid in Full" reimagined in this setting gives the songs a whole new life. An instant party.--Randy Silver
