Zeds Dead

Zeds Dead perfectly exemplifies EDM’s mischievously hybrid spirit. Mixing hip-hop, jungle, house, bass, and more, the Toronto duo’s music is a beaker teeming with unexpected compounds. Starting off making hip-hop as Mass Productions in 2004, the duo pivoted to a more electronic sound in 2009. From then on, they specialized in a lean, mean fusion of electro house, breaks, and dubstep on labels like Diplo’s Mad Decent and Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak. Their debut LP would come years later, after they had already featured in festivals throughout the world and collaborated with artists like Omar Linx and Oliver Heldens. But Northern Lights showed just how far they were capable of pushing their sound. As the EDM world changed throughout the years Zed’s Dead stayed true to their hard-hitting signature, earning them a massive following of devoted fans from all corners of the globe.
