  • Over the past 15 years, Zeds Dead has become an absolute titan of bass music. They run one of the most prestigious bass music labels in the world, Deadbeats. They have collaborated with countless heavyweight EDM artists like GRiZ, JAUZ, Subtronics, Peekaboo, NGHTMRE, Oliver Heldens, and so many more. But not only have they collaborated with some of the biggest stars in electronic music, they've also worked with rock and roll legend, Perry Farrell, who is also the founder of Lollapalooza music festival. With such a spectacular list of accolades, Zeds Dead deserves to have their full story documented and preserved. Which is why in this video I will be telling the complete story of how Toronto natives Zachary Rapp-Rovan (aka Hooks) and Dylan Mamid (aka DC) crossed paths at a young age, joined forces as a producer duo, and ultimately formed Zeds Dead, going on to be one of the greatest bass music acts of our time. They are one of the most unique electronic music duos, as they have mastered a variety of genres, from dubstep, house music, drum and bass, and so much more. Come along as we explore the entire story of Zeds Dead, from how they met as young kids in Toronto, to making hip-hop under their Mass Productions moniker, and ultimately building the Zeds Dead project from the ground up, going from an obscure underground duo to the top of the global EDM mountain.

    Stumbled on this through Reddit-- really enjoyed it! It features A LOT of my footage/art (including me singing that Jamboree abomination haha). Glad to see it getting second use. I'll pass this on to the guys-- I'm sure they'll dig it.

      @@audioeats Naw, don't worry about it. Fun facts though; Hook's dad was my baseball coach when we were 7 years, Hooks and I used to be in a graffiti crew together in highschool (Hooks was a prolific bomber in his day), I made the Zeds Dead logo for the guys in my first year at College for Graphic Design and Hooks was the first person who introduced me to making videos (we used to make school projects together on his old digital-tape camcorder). DC also dated my sister in highschool haha. I go way back with these two-- good people.

    Dang. I remember going to the graveyard tour in Denver. I paid my friend $20 to drive me from Wyoming to Fort Collins, grabbed a bus to Denver, and continued bus hopping and walking til I made it to the theater. A little into the show, a guy asked if I wanted some Pop Rocks and they were NOT only Pop Rocks... ended the night at a party on the 30th floor of an apartment downtown. Completely forgot about the Killabits. I thought they were going to explode! Thanks for the blast to the past. Keep these up!
