Z-Trip, Axis/Radius, 2/2/13 Whatchu know 'bout Z-Trip?

I'm also willing to bet that every single one of the people who are either familiar with Z-Trip (or Zach Sciacca) have nothing but words of praise, worship, or just simply down right respect for this "hometown hero" who has undoubtedly been a forefather of the art of turntablism.
