What to say that hasn’t already been said. For those in the dance music scene, this name plucks the good ol’ heartstrings like few acts can.
With some of the fiercest production in the scene and a nearly unmatchable work ethic, Zeds Dead has been making their mark in the EDM world since the producer/DJ team of Dylan Mamid and Zach Rapp-Rovin released their first tracks under the moniker in 2009.
You may know them for some of their massive remix tracks like Blue Foundation’s “Eyes On Fire” and the Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter” in addition to their never-ending grab bag of tear-the-house-down bangers that they release nearly monthly.
They’re mixtape monsters, dance floor masters, and mayors of the almighty bass.
Zeds Dead doesn’t represent the Republican Party. They don’t represent the Democratic Party. What they do, my friends, is bring The Party.
The hard-hitting Canadian duo released their newest mix for Pete Tong of BBC’s Radio 1. As always with the group, their newest mix is a genre-defying, tempo-shifting mashup of no-holds-barred, insatiable bass music. Future house, garage, electro, dubstep, drum and bass, trap, downtempo… literally nothing is safe from these dance floor crushing masters of mayhem.
The BBC Radio 1 30-minute mix is a quick snapshot into their style, allowing one to fully realize the reasons for their meteoric rise to fame since 2009. Few others (Bassnectar immediately comes to mind) can compete with their fluid, fast, and incredibly dynamic mixing style.
Their sets are a clinic on how to pull, shift, warp, and turn beats to newfound and unexpected places.
The “Mix for Pete Tong” is no different. One can easily envision a pair of maniacal puppeteers, always in complete control, pushing and prodding the downbeat to exactly where they want it, knowing full well that they’ll get the dance floor going in the process.
If you want to hear masters at work, give Zeds Dead a shot. Always upbeat and dancy while still simultaneously down and dirty, their “Mix for Pete Tong” is a great way to get the day (or night) started on a hyphy note.
It’s pure windows down, cruisin’ music.
And with the Northern Hemisphere making the slow crawl into spring, what could be better than some new tunes to blast out to the world?
