2009 AMERICA’S BEST DJ FINAL RESULTS
An early leader in the mashup movement, Z-Trip can entertain almost any crowd—he’s opened for The Rolling Stones and played with jam bands at the Bonnaroo Festival. The Los Angeles-based turntablist was also featured heavily in Doug Pray’s terrific documentary, Scratch. His Uneasy Listening collaboration with DJ P remains a hot eBay item.

Another true mobile-to-global story, Porter honed his studio skills and eventually gained notice from top touring jocks like Chris Fortier. Soon his energetic remixes and sharp original productions found themselves in sets by Carl Cox and Paul van Dyk. Over time, his Porterhouse mix CDs and club nights, which showcase his driving dancefloor sound, have solidified his status as one of America’s Best DJs

A genuine DJ legend, Qbert is a turntablist who makes other jocks stand back in awe. Hailing from the San Francisco area, QBert gained fame as a competition-winning battle jock and as one-fifth of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz DJ crew. Always the innovator, QBert’s repertoire of scratches and other tricks has won a global following of fans and vinyl-fetish DJs.

A DJ whose profile continues to rise, Kaskade (aka Ryan Raddon) has become one of our most in-demand club talents. As evidenced by his terrific recent artist CD, Strobelight Seduction, a slew of high-profile remixes, and a series of dance chart hits—“Everything,” “Stars Align” and “Move For Me” (with Canada’s Deadmau5)—Kaskade stands as one of America’s most prolific remixer/producers and most popular homegrown DJs.

Another DJ with wildly diverse tastes and talents, Scotty Boy has become one of the DJ Kings of Las Vegas. In addition to playing several radio shows and Sin City residencies, Scotty has become best known for the infamous Rehab pool party on Sundays at the Hard Rock Hotel.

First and foremost I would like to say it's a pleasure taking part in Hipster Frenzy's blogging extravaganza and thank everyone in Hipster Frenzy for giving me the opportunity to contribute in this musical revolution!
Now for the fun part! There's a Snake Charmer somewhere in the streets of Los Angeles but only thing is he doesn't really charm snakes but he might charm you! The name says it all, he is influenced by many genres but his inspiration comes within to satisfy his ears and the ears of many with his hypnotic experimental sounds. Here are two of his latest tracks. Enjoy!
Snake Charmer - The Pied Piper.
Snake Charmer - Got The Beat.
I've been thinking about changing it up alot here for a while now, hope everyone likes the new layout! Took a while to learn how to change everything! Might actually change the name also, what do you think? I'd love the feedback!
Cheers on the new layout, here are some more tracks by a HF close friend! Dskotek!
So since i'm really stoked to see my fav duo the Bloody Beetroots, might as well blog one of their tracks right now, a new hip hop lyrical track that uses Public Enemy's lyrics, gives it a good step up from all the other tracks that involve rap and electro. Also I have a track from Life Express as they Remix one of Dada Life's tracks "Happy Hands and Happy Feet". Nice vibes, sounds, beats, lyrics, all of the ingredients for a great track to spin!
Enjoy!
