Zinc (/ˈzɪŋk/ ZINGK; from German: Zink), or spelter (which may also refer to zinc alloys), is a metallic chemical element; it has the symbol Zn and atomic number 30. It is the first element in group 12 of the periodic table. Zinc is, in some respects, chemically similar to magnesium, because its ion is of similar size and its only common oxidation state is +2. Zinc is the 24th most abundant element in the Earth's crust and has five stable isotopes. The most common zinc ore is sphalerite (zinc blende), a zinc sulfide mineral. The largest mineable amounts are found in Australia, Asia, and the United States. Zinc production includes froth flotation of the ore, roasting, and final extraction using electricity (electrowinning).
Brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc, has been used since at least the 10th century BC. Impure zinc metal was not produced in large scale until the 13th century in India, while the metal was unknown to Europe until the end of the 16th century. Alchemists burned zinc in air to form what they called "philosopher's wool" or "white snow".
Benjamin Pettit, better known by his stage name DJ Zinc, is a drum and bass/breakstep DJ from the United Kingdom. Zinc is well known for 1995's "Super Sharp Shooter", a hip hop/jungle fusion.
Zinc's career as a DJ and producer stretches the steady evolution of hardcore from its house and rave roots through ragga and hip hop styled hardstep and beyond.
He continued to DJ on a regular basis, and was one of the first drum and bass producers to score with the R&B slanted two step market courtesy of his 1999 single, "138 Trek".
His productions have been relatively popular outside the drum and bass scene, most notably in the breaks genre under the pseudonym Jammin. He reached #27 in the UK chart with "138 Trek" in Nov 2000.
Zinc produces and DJs as part of the Ganja Kru and True Playaz collectives, often in association with friend and mentor DJ Hype. He runs the Bingo Beats record label, which releases both drum and bass and breaks records. He has been known to release many records under the alias of Dope Skillz.

Deceitful, why we dancing

Slicing through the skin

forget the heart, the life, the sting, the stage, the sound.
we go all round, this way
I quess the powers that we will see
it's time to make, our dicision and if you listen
close enough.
doesn't it feel, like a broken record.
Slicing through the skin
the sound has been over played and overrated
and do I excist to satisfy you
and satisfy nothing
Im right here and I hoping to be something,
to mean something to somebody at all.
but it's the same old song, one dance
with the same old song.
same old song, same old song, same old song, it's the same old song
same old song, same old song, same old song, it's the same old song
doesn't it feel like a broken record, a broken record.
I excist to satisfy you to satisfy nothing.
fear stares the wrong ways.
but right know Im hoping to be something
to mean someting to somebody at all.
