It’s been over eight years since this trailblazing duo released an album, but today bass heads worldwide felt the Earth tremble when Zeds Dead dropped Return To The Spectrum Of Intergalactic Happiness. This 14-track opus is their gift of self-expression to the world. As you listen, the music takes you to alternate dimensions, jumping across all parallel universes from track to track.
From Toronto, Canada, Zeds Dead (Dylan “DC” Mamid and Zachary “Hooks” Rapp-Rovan) has performed at shows since 2010 with music that many, at the time, did not understand what it was. Although they knew they loved it. Zeds Dead never aimed for attendees to just bob their heads when they performed: they wanted them to be so consumed, that the music shook their bones, they lost control, and the entire crowd danced like no one is watching. And that’s exactly what they have accomplished for 15 years.
Return To The Spectrum Of Intergalactic Happiness
The first three releases, ‘One Of These Mornings,’ ‘Sweet Memories,’ and ‘Heartbeat‘ have already given us a taste of how the sounds are always in a perpetual state of flux, but are seamlessly dynamic and intentional. You may have already noticed that classic, retro televisions with static or flickering screens have been used for the visuals for these songs. This idea comes from the duo’s idea of randomly tuning into different broadcasts from the past century. Incorporating their love of sampling into the album, this odyssey gives you a diverse collection from their hip-hop roots to all the experimental sounds that they are known and loved for.
In 2017, a dream provided the phrase: Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness. They were entertained by it so much that they made it a permanent tweet. Six years passed, and the phrase was long forgotten. That was until an unexpected fan resurfaced the phrase. This provoked a moment of realization that it perfectly captures the album’s theme.
“In making ‘Return To The Spectrum Of Intergalactic Happiness’, we really connected with the spirit of what Zeds Dead is. Throwing whatever crossed our minds at the wall and seeing what stuck. One of our biggest inspirations for this album was the idea of not letting anything matter in our creative process except for our own taste. It is very much art for art’s sake, and the product is something we can both fully stand behind.”
