ARIZONA... NOT THE WILD WEST AND TUMBLEWEEDS


Lately its bothered me how people turn their noses up or are surprised when they find out I am from Arizona. People hate on AZ so hard. AZ may not be where most people expect a MUSIC MECCA or to be a place to see world renown local DJ talent. Fact is, that a couple very household names in DJing happen to be from AZ! world renown DJs Z TRIP and FASHEN are from AZ, as well as two other very talented DJs poised to blow up on a national level. D-JR who is a part of THE MUSIC TRUST along with other djs such as Clinton Sparks, White SHadow, RISKONE, Scooter, Chester French, and EVIL ONE just to name a few. D-JR Is quite possibly the most technically skilled dj ive heard live. He also took 1st place in the AZ Redbull Thre3style competition and 2nd place at this years National competition in Denver. There is also DJ Rocko (who I will be interviewing this week) who on a whim went to compete in the beezo battle and took 3rd place! I think its time Arizona gets the respect it deserves, anyone that doesnt think AZ deserves it can come here and see anyone of the talented DJs I have mentioned in their element and I challenge you to tell me they dont deserve to be on the same national and global level as some of these 'CELEBRITY DJS' . I am currently looking for the video from the thre3style battle an well as editing the beezo battle clips. stay tuned for posting!
Even with all that being said theres still the production end of things. DJ J-Paul (of the dubstep super duo HAVOCNDEED) and DEATH TO THE THRONE call AZ home! heres a taste of some of their work!
