Zoo Trippin’

wksf whole band.jpg

Zoo Trippin’ was founded in 2014 when Lynn Roose III and Tony Casa started a new project with Steve Hatmaker and Austin Smith. Shortly after the band picked up Ethan Fowler, to fill out the group. Unfortunately Ethan had to leave the group, and Drew Dimitrovski stepped in.
Zoo Trippin’ is the child of years of live performances, recordings, and previous projects. The group holds true to its Blues/Rock roots but is now off in a new direction. Adding a more funk/alternative element to the already genre blending style.
With new members, new songs, an unparalleled live show, and a new style all their own-Zoo Trippin’ will soon span the airwaves and rock the continents!

Seth Yender

SethYender1

“I feel that it’s important to stick to what you believe in. It’s not about what the next trendy sound is or the style is out there. When I DJ, I play records that I feel will be played again in 10 years, and I bring that same attitude to the studio. I’m not into making music just for this month’s Beatport Charts. Instead, I want to make music that feels classic, and is classic.”
Yender excavates the deepest parts of his soul to craft two huge melodic late night jams that will definitely continue to be played for decades to come. Seth Yender is surely a name bound to be talked about and looked to for quality techno from this point going foreword. Consider yourself warned to keep ears peeled for the onslaught of his already impressive cache of soulful Nu-Detroit sounds that labels on both sides of the pond will be fumbling over to release in the coming year.
