DJ ZAX rocks parties from coast-to-coast. From San Francisco to Brooklyn, when he hits the decks his mission is to bring the heat to make you move your feet. His signature blend of Electro, House, Mashups, Hip-Hop, Pop and R&B is a sure fire party starter. ZAX always strives to bring fresh sounds and cutting-edge music to his DJ sets.

ZAX’s mixing skills are heard in clubs across San Francisco, including Trigger, The End Up, Cockblock at the Rickshaw Stop, Bootie at DNA Lounge, Dragon at Club Eight and many more. He has also been a featured DJ, spinning live on Energy 92.7 FM.

DJ ZAX’s mash-ups are blogged about all over the web, from Sterogum, who calls his Gwen/Cameo blend “Perfect, Brilliant, and Infectious,” to USA Today’s Pop Culture Blog who calls the same mash-up a “Sweet find.” His mix of “Touch My Body” by Mariah Carey (featuring Fatman Scoop) is called “Better than the Original” and a “Fine Slice of Mimi Dancefloor Greatness.” — It is also played on radio stations across the country including Q102 radio in Philly and WILD 94.9 in San Francisco and is released on a special promotional remix vinyl.

His “Hollywood Wondergroove” mash of Maroon 5 with Madonna and Missy Elliott and his blend of Alanis Morissette’s cover of “My Humps” with the original Black Eyed Peas version have both appeared on Club Bootie’s monthly Top 10 lists of their favorite tracks.

Below, you’ll find DJ ZAX mashups, setlists, and other random stuff.

Anyone who knows me, knows I’m a huge fan of Imogen Heap. I’ve been following her vBlogs and tweets for the past two years while she’s been working on her new album, Ellipse, which is scheduled to be released 25 August here in the states. When the lead single, “First Train Home” was released, I got busy to work on this remix using some Stonebridge beats.

Please be sure to support Immi. Buy the single “First Train Home” and pre-order Ellipse at the links below.

“First Train Home:” iTunes Or Amazon

I have long wanted a dance mix of Keri Hilson’s “Turnin’ Me On,” so when I received the acapella I decided to make this mashup using a Mark Pichiotti instrumental. The resulting mix reminds me of Maurice Joshua’s signature style.

I am glad Rihanna’s label has finally decided to promote this single. It is only too bad that it was because Chris Brown beat her up. I am also happy she sings, “I’m kickin’ asses” in the acapella that was released (unlike on the censored album version). Is “ass” really that bad of a word?

I restructured Spencer & Hill’s dub of “Flat” and added Rihanna’s vocal with a healthy dose of reverb and other effects. The result is a peak hour electro club banger. I’m also including a clean radio edit, in which she doesn’t say she’s “kickin’ asses.”
