Zeds Dead on Tour
Veterans of the EDM festival circuit, Toronto's Zeds Dead are masters of unleashing singles to the masses to get everyone stoked for their live show. And over the summer of 2019, they dropped multiple tracks to do just that. The frenetic "Lift You Up," an accelerated synth-punk sprint that's liable to turn the dance tent into a mosh pit. "Rescue" — a collaboration with Dutch producer Dion Timmer and Toronto diva Delaney Jane — splits the difference between bass-wobbled beats and edgy alt-rock energy. But "Stars Tonight" — featuring Dutch duo DROELOE — leaps from piano-laced serenity to future-bass freakery, with heart-racing ascents and queasy drops that ensure their sets strike the right balance of euphoria and anarchy.
Zeds Dead in Concert
The Toronto-based duo of Dylan Mamid (aka DC) and Zachary Rapp-Rovan (aka Hooks) first came together in the mid-2000s under the name Mass Productions, a project steeped in their love of boom-bapped hip-hop. But as EDM came to dominate the city's club scene at the turn of the decade, the duo caught the wave and rebranded themselves Zeds Dead (a quote from Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction). While the 2010 single "Rude Boy" captures them still transitioning out of old-school breaks toward nu-rave sonics, the series of EPs they released through Diplo's Mad Decent imprint over the course of 2012 and 2014 saw them change things up. They retrofitted their sound for the festival circuit (take, for example, the steep drops and subterranean bass of "Hadouken"), and they also initiated alt-rock crossovers with the likes of Twin Shadow and Perry Farrell. After launching their own label, Deadbeat, Zeds Dead released their first proper album statement, the Juno Award–nominated Northern Lights, in 2016, with a wildly eclectic guest list (Diplo, Pusha T, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo) that speaks to their ever-evolving fusion of sun-dappled EDM, gritty rap production and rock power.

by Tori Martini on 4/16/24Hampton Coliseum - HamptonThe Zeds Dead First Contact show at Hampton Coliseum was amazing!!!! It was my first time traveling out to Hampton. I got to see my friends, meet many new friends, for the shared love of music. Also- Zeds Dead sets were aammmmazingggg!!! Production and sound were on point, the crowd had good vibes-nobody had stinky attitudes out of all of the people I encountered. Will definitely be returning to Hampton, and I hope the Deadbeats fam does again too!!

Rating: 2 out of 5 Disappointing
by Chris D on 1/1/24The Factory - St. LouisI’ve seen a handful of popular artists in the same/similar genre. Subtronics, Svdden Death, Deadmau5, Rezz, and this one by far was the least entertaining. Literally just going on stage, pressing play, and just standing there during their set. The only time they got on the mic or engaged with the crowd was the quick “thank you” at the end. Just felt like a waste of time and money. Could’ve just had the same experience with a Spotify playlist.

by TrippyHippieB on 12/20/23The Salt Shed Indoors (Shed) - ChicagoZeds Dead has always played some of the most amazing shows when they come to Chicago. I always look forward to their announcements of when they come play here in Chicago because I never miss a single show. They are always so consistent and if you have never seen them play live then you should do yourself a favor and catch them while they are in town. Much love.

by Crash Douglar on 5/3/23Echostage - WashingtonDidn’t really have high hopes since it’s a festival Afterparty, but Zeds Dead dropped the best set I’ve ever seen in 6 the shows I’ve gone AND the best show I’ve ever been to period. Such an intimate and amazing atmosphere.
