As most of you may know by now, Toronto's own production duo Zeds Dead (comprised of DC and Hooks) recently announced the Altered States tour (on Tuesday) that they are headlining. We found out that Paper Diamond, Green Lantern, and Branchez will be playing alongside the Canadian heavy hitters, stressing the element of variation between sets that both DC and Hooks value so heavily. The two are known for remixing artists such as Marina and the Diamonds, T.E.E.D, The Prodigy, and Bon Iver. Zeds Dead challenge themselves with genres from all over the map.
"By Your Side" is their newest single, released for free download this Wednesday. It's a killer track (yet an oldie, as I soon found out), emphasizing their everlasting goal to depict emotion through bass-heavy growls and minimal vocal samples. We love them for it. Signed with Mad Decent, Zeds Dead continue to broaden their fan base, extending to interface on a transnational level. I was lucky enough to chat with DC and Hooks about their newest single and what us concert-goers should expect in attendance of the massive Altered States 2013 tour. From what I can tell, it's going to be a wild, grimey ride. Buckle up, Zeds Heads.
