An interview with a local Denver news station.
OkiZoo and Hip Hop Slam’s DJ Alpha has been deep inside his Lab Insomnia studios for the last year creating his turntablist debut album “This way or That way”, a magnum opus of his technical ability to use the power of the record and the turntable to create music. This promises to be a bizare journey from beginning to end featuring a few special guests including fellows DJ’s like Dust One, Dawgisht, and Jimmy Penguin . It also features guest emcees, Nations and Dunn-D of OkiZoo and Skahlah of The Life Penciled Crew. Set for a fall release, Alf is ready to show us all why the DJ is essentially the backbone of music. California’s Amoeba Music recently interviewed Alf to find out how he became a turntablist, about his time in Okinawa Japan, and what “This way or That Way” is all about.

Hosting the next episode of the tag team Trix One and Tek 3 dropping the dopest sounds in Bangkok, Thailand in the biggest and best nightlife area of the Land of Smiles!
Baroque Club is true to the name and is known for the flyest style and finest ladies. Situated at the top of RCA, it is the first club located in Bangkok most famous night club area. The doors open at 9pm, but doesn’t officially kick off until about 10pm. Again, door will stay open until the police come knocking – and we run out of money to pay them off with (which we figure will be 4am).
Trix One and Tek 3 will be playing back-to-back and bouncing off each other, in a synergy that will have you amp. We are also planning on having extra guest star DJs and Stars at the party. Best of all this party is absolutely FREE to get in – no cover charge.
It will be Trix One last event before he heads back to the US for an extended trip and take some time to visit family. Be sure to stop by and get your goodbyes in and watch the one-of-a-kind and only underground show going on in Bangkok. If you haven’t had the pleasure of being apart of an Okizoo event in Thailand, this will be one of the last times for awhile.

New design. New features.
iPod nano rocks like never before.
For those about to rock, we give you nine amazing colors. But that’s only part of the story. Feel the curved, all-aluminum and glass design and you won’t want to put iPod nano down.
The new Genius feature turns iPod nano into your own highly intelligent, personal DJ. It creates playlists by finding songs in your library that go great together.
Give your iPod nano a shake and it shuffles to another song in your library — thanks to the built-in accelerometer. And you can turn it sideways to view your albums in Cover Flow.
Okizoo’s camera man and video editor Russell Banks, has been in high demand in the Bangkok acting scene over the last two months. Besides devoting half of his valuable time to filming and editing footage for Okizoo, Russ is now juggling some 12 hour-long days acting as the standing for M.Bison (Neal McDonough) on the forth coming Street Fighter II Movie.
The movie ‘Street Fighter II: The Legend Of Chun-Li’ is directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak and will feature top Hollywood actors:
Russ has worked as an extra on many commercials from Sunsilk Hair Products advert featuring Thai Model ‘Am’ to a Mitsubishi advert featuring ‘Tony Jah’ who is known for playing the leading role in Thai martial arts flicks Ang Bak, and Tom Yam Kung.
Russ has also worked as an extra in few Thai and Indian films but his luck came after landing a part as an extra on the Street Fighter II Movie. Only a few days into his job, Russ quickly got promoted to become the standing for M.Bison.
For those who aren’t sure what a stand-in is required to do; a stand-in is the person who acts out the scene for the first time in a kinda of trail run. Whilst the cameras roll, they must act out the scene precisely, as is required. When the scene is reviewed by the director and his team, elements such as the camera angles and lighting can be adjusted if needed. Some actors choose or are required to watch these scenes to give them a better idea of what they have to do.
In true Zoo spirit Russ has been getting in with the director, drinking champagne after the days work is done, and generally having a great time whilst working his ass off for the camera.
Things are also looking good for his future projects as Russ is already lined up for an audition to take a small speaking role in the forth-coming John Cusak movie, Shanghai and there also talk of a role in a new Oliver Stone movie being filmed out this way, but that’s not confirmed yet…..
So its fingers crossed for the Zoo director of moving visuals, but not just for the forth-coming BKK raw video (yeh don’t be forgetting now!) but for his acting career too!
