Good Morning Mix: Zeds Dead provide throwback session for episode 100 of Deadbeats Radio
In the modern age of electronic music, an endless amount of producers claim to have an affinity for every genre. Yet there are only a handful who really put in the time and effort to create a catalog that encompasses multiple tempos, sounds, and styles. Chief among those select few—Zeds Dead.
However, despite their ever-expanding library of different styles of electronic music (accelerated further by their multi-genre label, Deadbeats), those who have been with D.C. and Hooks since the beginning know that dubstep holds a special place in the Canadian duo’s hearts.
Seminal tracks from early in their careers like “Rude Boy,” “In The Beginning,” and “Adrenaline,” gave them a platform to succeed, and they were going to honor their roots at EDC Vegas this year with a surprise throwback set at BassPod Sunday night. Unfortunately, high winds on Saturday night forced RL Grime to cancel his set. In response Zeds Dead graciously offered him their surprise slot on Sunday, preventing them from performing their throwback set.
Those circumstances may have been a blessing in disguise though. Rather than play the throwback set for only one crowd to hear, Zeds Dead have released the set as episode 100 of Deadbeats Radio. Now, fans can enjoy the headbanging nostalgia over and over.
The mix is primarily dubstep tracks from Zed Dead’s own catalog as well as legends of the genre like Caspa, Skrillex, and Emalkay. It also features house, drum ‘n’ bass, and other heavy-handed offerings. Get down with Zeds Dead below.
