UPDATE May 7,2012:
Yauch has passed. People are hanging their heads low.
Though I only met MCA a couple times, it felt like I’d known him my whole life. I grew up with the Beastie Boys, and also grew with them. As they matured and got wiser I felt like I was doing the same thing, personally and musically. They were a huge influence on me. His death can be equated to the loss of a Paul or a John, as I’ve often felt they are my generation’s Beatles.
It really meant so much to me when the Beasties handpicked me to remix their catalog. As a longtime fan; I couldn't be happier.
Yauch will be forever missed.
RIPMCA
Peace

I was stoked and humbled when asked to do this mix. I've been a fan of The Beasties since I first heard Mr Magic interview them on WBLS in NY. I included some of my favorites as well as stuff off the new album. All remixed.
It's a Trip, it's gotta funky beat, and you can bug out to it.
Peace,

Factoid #1 - This is a real Beasties, Z-Trip fan.
Factoid #2- Z-Trip uses a bit of the WBLS show he first heard the Beasties on in the megamix.
Factoid #3- Z-Trip had the opening slot on the Beasties/Rage Against The Machine tour in 2000. Then RATM went on hiatus and the tour was canceled.
