Z-Trip (born Zach Sciacca) is a Phoenix, Arizona native. He was known early in his career for performing with the Bombshelter DJs (DJ Emile, DJ Radar, and DJ Z-Trip).

He became widely known when his collaboration with DJ P, Uneasy Listening, Volume 1, was released in 2001. Only 2000 copies were made, but the album was soon distributed over the Internet in MP3 format.

Z-Trip contributed several pieces of work to EA Games' release Skate.

Z-Trip is one of the biggest DJs of our time doing over 100 shows a year, every year. Considered by many to be a founder of the mash-up movement, his musical tastes are eclectic and his mixing style rejects simple classification. His early independent releases have become highly sought after collectibles. Uneasy Listening, the collaboration with DJ P, was one of the first of its kind, and has sold for as much as $500 on eBay.

No other DJ can claim playing to 500,000 people opening for the Rolling Stones at Sars-stock in Toronto, playing the Bonaroo main stage to over 70,000 people 2 years in a row, in addition to headlining a tent at Coachella twice. He's also been busy around the world as a headliner at the Good Vibrations Festival 2006 in Australia. All of this in addition to his US and international headlining sold out shows and multiple club residencies.

Z-Trip's major label debut "Shifting Gears" was given 4 stars by Rolling Stone—it's highest honor. The first single "Walking Dead" went Top 20 and featured Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. The album also had two Number 1s on the college chart. "Listen to the DJ" featuring Soup of Jurassic 5 and "Shock and Awe" featuring Chuck D. He's also a master of the remix, with a stand out re-working of The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" on "Motown Remixed".

Z-Trip can be seen in the movie "Scratch" (and "Scratch Live") alongside Q-Bert, Mix Master Mike and originators of the art form like Afrika Bambaataa and Jazzy Jay. In addition, he's appeared in "Brainfreeze" and "Product Placement", two live concert movies, both of which feature friends DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist.

DJ P is Danny Phillips, a party-rocking Hip Hop DJ originally hailing from Springfield, Missouri.

His first big break came in 1999. He had won the DMC Midwest Championship a few months prior and was now competing against the country's top turntablists in San Francisco at the 1999 DMC US Finals. He dropped Bruce Hornsby's "That's Just The Way It Is," aiming the song's "they can't get a job" lyric at his competitors. Then he dropped Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" as a warning to the other DJs to step off. Ever the b-boy, P topped his performance off by coming out in front of the tables and breaking and popping. He was the only DJ who received a standing ovation that night. Now you can find him two nights a week(Thursday and Saturday) as the resident DJ at "CLUB MOON" in the Palms Casino in fabulous Las Vegas, NV.
