DJ Zeph / DJ Zeph
DJ Zeph is originally from santa cruz, and started with the collective The
Atomic Rockers. He learned a bit with kutmasta kurt, took part in various
compliations, and more recently works on some productions of craft classic
w/ Azeem, which are represented by the songs here with lyrics.
He's good at putting different plinks and wahs and other such things with
real music and beats. At times you think you're hearing something tribal,
and then he mixes it with hip hop and it sounds good. He can make voices
sound like instruments, and instruments sound like voices.

Playlist or New, says Laura B.
1. cc 3:13 percussion discussion / very cool start. Starts slow, gets a
little more exciting, always seems to want to go faster, but keeps steady.
2. cc 3:10 the movement / slow pace. First track w/ vox. sounds more like 
a band than other songs. "love our music bc we have no flags on our dash"
3. cc- 2:45 get this / crazy fun winds and percussionish sax. Fairly
uptempo.
4. cc+ 3:52 southpause / one of the prettier ones. Very jazzy, cool words
laid in. cool scratching! Yes, I'm pretty sure those are frogs.
5. cc 4:56 rubber & glue / steady. azeem on smack-talk lyrics, "yo zeph
man you suck on the ones and twos" (you are rubber, I am glue)
6. cc+ 4:50 bronx zulu / I think this one is my favorite. Starts out kinda
like cornershop or chemical brothers, then you get some Groovy jazz,
trumpet of jon birdsong (beck's backing band). Faster paced than the rest.
7. c+ 4:30 Freehand / pretty fun. Others are better, though.
8. cc- 4:24 mirrors on sand / lyrics again. Weird voices, and distortions,
so interesting. Very cool use of dial tones.
9. cc- 2:59 imperial's theme / haunting. At times seems to go on for a
while, but maybe not too long-- I can keep listening.
10. cc 4:20 Transmitter / I think this is what signal transmission must
actually sound like. Cool fluttering light and/or reverberating clinks and
flute sounds behind heavy rhythms.
