Z-Trip is officially confirmed as the new Friday night resident at Rain.

With DJ AM’s untimely passing, rumors were flying as to who would become the new Friday night resident at Rain nightclub at The Palms.

The Weekly just received the exclusive word the newest turntabilist to call the Palms home will be none other than...drumroll please... 2009 America’s Best DJ winner Z-Trip.

Using a complex algorithm of guessing, hypothesizing and keeping our fingers crossed, we predicted that the L.A.-based DJ born Zach Sciacca might become a regular fixture at Rain. Indeed, N9NE Group has confirmed that Z-Trip will be commanding the turntables on Friday nights at a party called Z-Trip's Revolution - A Party for the People. Dang we’re good. More details about his official start date and residency will be released tomorrow. Stay tuned to LasVegasWeekly.com for all the details.

Perfect mash up DJ for generic Fridays at Rain.

ZTrip is an awesome DJ. I hate mashups, but what he does shouldn't even be called mashup, just badass. He does everything live and doesn't play the same songs as all the other "mashup" guys out there. Saw him at Rain last month before Oakenfold went on and was very impressed. I'll def check him out many more times. Great choice, Palms.

As a native Las Vegan and avid ZTrip fan...I couldnt imagine a better fit. The energy that he brought to Rain when he played after the America's Best DJ Awards was explosive. I wouldnt call it mash up either..and being able to throw back to the days of true vinyl when his laptop crashed was to say the least awe inspiring. All DJs should aspire to be as skilled and energetic yet humble from it all still.
And to the user's comment about "generic"...you obviously werent at Rain that night and you obviously didnt see the Pointer Sisters singing on stage with ZTrip to "Jump for my Love". No generic DJ could have pulled that off...reality check...get out of your bedroom once in a while
