Z-Trip's Motown Breakdown Part1 - Download it here - DJ Z-Trip / Official Forums

shant · June 18th, 2004

Hey everyone,

Here's a link to the Motown Breakdown that some of you have been asking for.

http://www.punogre.com/ztrip/z-trip_...down_part1.mp3

I tried to keep it as good a quality as I could, without going overboard on my bandwidth limit. It's still 128kps which is CD quality.

Enjoy.

DJ HOOVER · June 18th, 2004

Thanks Shant....

DJ DeafGeoff · June 18th, 2004

Mad thanks for posting this!

I love Z's use of the 12" version of "Motown Philly", and the transition from Marvin Gaye to Edwin Starr took me by surprise, even though I should have seen it coming. Great mix.

soundwavejunkie · June 18th, 2004

This thing fuckin' rocks!!!

What a pleasant surprise to find on a Friday morning....

So, Z-TRIP, did Motown give you access to any tracks that you didn't have access to? Just curious.

Good job taking us on a ride through one of the freshest catalogues in history.....it's funny, even with all the stuff you mixed for this, it still only scratches the surface of Motown and its' artists legacy of great music.

Now, if y'all will excuse me, i must get back to wigglin' my ass.

PEACE.OUT.

FeloniousFunk · June 19th, 2004

DOOOPE!!! It's so good to hear new shit from Z. Props Shant!! Time to drop this track at my friend's graduation party.

eddiebaby7 · June 21st, 2004

Nice work Shant! Where the hell is this track from???

Daysun · June 21st, 2004

Following up... No-one at Motown knew anything about it - I asked one guy and I ended up on the phone with about 4 different people, all people who knew Z-Trip's name but said they didn't have any involvement with him or a mix specifically with Motown Records... it was all very curious. Ah, well.

AVB19Peace · June 22nd, 2004

Yeah, I got the same thing when I called. A couple people knew about it and said they had it there, but kept bouncing me around when I said I was interested in getting a copy or at least putting my vote in to have it released as a single. I left a message at the last transfer and haven't heard back.

DEUCE · June 23rd, 2004

I'm late on this but I just wanted to say thanks for for the hook up Shant (and of course, Z).

dj17 · June 24th, 2004

peace

JohnDUB · June 29th, 2004

Not to sound greedy, but where's part 2??? I love the 1st 8 minutes of the mix, I need to feed mix fix for the rest of it!!!

fly-t · July 4th, 2004

i thought it sounded ace i wish i had it on cd or tape or something

JORG · July 8th, 2004

Hey, does anyone know what that sample is before the Marvin Gaye, "What's Goin' On?" sample? At first, I thought it was one of the soundtracks to the Cosby Show, but then a vocal started, which I don't recall from the show. If anyone knows, please let me know, thanks!

Soy DJ · July 8th, 2004

you mean the song? Shotgun. Levert does a sick version of it in "Standing in the Shadows..."

brewdog · July 10th, 2004

Z, this is brilliant. My mom listened to Motown all the time when I was growing up, so I was just diggin on it.

Thanks again for your musical knowledge.

GoodEnough · July 14th, 2004

AWESOME.

mort25 · July 20th, 2004

super good. i was raised on doo-wop, motown, and all the oldies from the 50-60's. still listen to them today. anywhere that you can download this to keep on your home computer, or is it just only available to listen through the link?

Right-click the link on a PC or Option-click on a Mac. If you get a dialog box choose "Save to disk" option...

Any MP3 that streams can be saved. Some other formats can be saved too if you explore your options.

cheers

squall_line · July 21st, 2004

To quote Master Shake from ATHF, "that is tha shizz-niyit!" A freiend of mine turned me on to Z-Trip a while back with Uneasy Listening, Vol. 1, and I've been a fan ever since. One of the best albums to have for road trips, IMHO. And now this. Day-um, keep it up, Z!

brewdog · July 22nd, 2004

What I like best about the mix is Z's use of songs to make a point. The part toward the end with Marvin Gaye singing "War is not the answer" into "War" into "Ball of Confusion" reflects the intelligent artistry that separates DJs like Z from the common MP3 mashup kiddies.

Think about what goes into something like this- not only does a dj have to have an encyclopedic knowledge of songs and lyrics and beats/breaks, but he has to match them so they flow musically and lyrically... It's art.

Now, we knew Z could do this in a political way (Anti-War Mix) as well as musically (Bombshelter @Future Primitive). What impresses me is that he makes a mix for Motown, using their catalogue, their directions, and he still makes a musical and political statement. My hat is off to you Z, keep rockin' us.

Thank you.

Yeah... I put a lot of thought into that aspect of it.

I'm glad it doesn't go unnoticed.

As far as part two... it won't be done for a minute.

Probably sometime after the album drops.

Peace,

Z

dj diverse · August 13th, 2004

So I went to a local used record shop today and picked up some great stuff. I bought the best of Motown 25 years in the making (5 records) for $20. What really got me excited was that the record has every track that Z uses for his motown breakdown mix. This definitely made my day!!

BomberMan · October 8th, 2004

AHHHHHHHHH! This is GREAT! I LOVE IT! What a bonus one boring saturday to stumbel across a gem like this one!

--Giant

fly-t · October 11th, 2004

ive seen it on e gay on vinyl as well as uneasy listening on vinyl,im tempted but there goin for huge prices ,are they goin to be available on vinyl at a cheaper price?

Z-TRIP · October 11th, 2004

The Motown Mix was limted to 500. If you see it, get it. They will never be available.

The Uneasy wax should be ready to go in a couple of weeks.

dj diverse · October 14th, 2004

That's what I either call a TRUE Z-Trip fan or a fucking idiot!!!

graham · October 14th, 2004

even if you're a dedicated fan thats a lot to spend on 1 dam record. Gezz

fly-t · October 15th, 2004

ha ha ha ha ha ha you lot are going to think im a wanker but that was the one i had bid on,i had got to 80 dollars and someone had bid 1 dollar more,fuckin visa cards make you crazy

IXOS · October 15th, 2004

Ahh, I have listened to this track so many times already, but I have to say thank you Z for keeping this up. I am at my parents place and they happen to be watching 'Standing in the shadows of Motown' tonight (thank you DirectTv for the free preview weekend!). I just downloaded this to my dad's desktop and he is loving it already. He was already checking out 8-Mile on tv tonight, so between that and this I might be ready to call him pretty damn cool.
