Zeds Dead

Genre-bending duo Zeds Dead brings euphoric, bass-heavy sets.

Zeds Dead is an electronic music duo hailing from Toronto, Canada, composed of Dylan Mamid and Zachary Rapp-Rovan. Emerging in 2009, the pair became foundational figures in the North American bass scene by blending dubstep, drum and bass, house, and hip-hop into a highly adaptable, genre-defying sound. They gained massive early traction with their 2010 remix of Blue Foundation's "Eyes on Fire" and have since released signature projects like their 2016 debut album, Northern Lights, and the 2021 downtempo collection, Catching Z's, on their own Deadbeats imprint. The duo frequently collaborates with heavyweights across the electronic spectrum, yielding notable tracks like "Bumpy Teeth" with Subtronics and "Blame" with Diplo. Beyond their studio output, Zeds Dead operates the influential Deadbeats label and regularly headlines major events, including their annual Deadrocks run at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and their 2026 Journey of a Lifetime Tour. What makes Zeds Dead so enduring is their ability to move across dubstep, drum & bass, hip-hop, house, and weirder bass territory without losing identity, giving them a catalog and live show that feel both unpredictable and unmistakably their own.
