Once again, Relentless Beats organized an outstanding show with Zeds Dead, Tape B, Truth, and Sippy! Zeds Dead’s Return to the Spectrum of Interglactic Happiness tour has been a hot topic all over social media, and for good reason; it was one of the best shows of the season at Rawhide. Everything from the ease of access through security and the PLUR of the crowd to the insane production made Zeds Dead a night to remember.
Sippy, an Australian native, brought her flair from down under. She had all the Aussie Aussie Aussie pink pony girls dancing the night away. Rocking her iconic fuzzy glasses, Sippy got the crowd pumped with her feral, carefree stage antics. Never underestimate the openers! Sippy is already a powerhouse and will soon be a household name. She played pop punk remixes with her deep bass lines and drops. When the two genres blend, it adds a nostalgic component to the set, making the dance party much more exciting!
Truth was wonky and surreal, as he pulled the crowd into an alternate dimension, where reality wobbled and shifted. His visuals sliced through the night sky, unlocking your third eye. The crowd was entranced, and Truth left them craving more. On this journey to the next dimension, the lasers were doing what they do to illuminate the way.

Tape B commanded the stage with electrifying energy, completely captivating the crowd! His unique sound had everyone jumping and dancing throughout his set. By this point in the night, Rawhide was packed, and the walls were practically shaking from the intensity of his performance. His tracks were masterfully flipped, mixed, and bursting with vibrancy!
It was over 100 degrees, but that didn’t come close to the heat that Zeds Dead brought to The Valley! Who says being a Deadbeat is a bad thing? From the moment they took the stage, you could feel the passion and ecstasy radiating from them. This Canadian duo recently released their sophomore album, and on theme, they had multiple TVs in front of their decks, which added an extra dimension to their performance. The laser display was amazing! The slow, heavy buildups shook the walls as they delivered a two-hour, jam-packed set filled with all their hits. Everything about this performance was perfection!
It felt like a sold-out show, but with PLUR present throughout the crowd, everyone was fanned one way or another! Keep up with Relentless Beats for updates on upcoming shows at Rawhide Event Center and around the Southwest, as they’re likely to sell out quickly!

Legendary dubstep duo Zeds Dead took on New York City and played three shows in three days for its loyal fans. Zeds Dead has been on the road for the last few weeks as they start to tour for their sophomore album, Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness.
In addition to back-to-back sellouts of The Great Hall at Avant Gardner in Brooklyn on Friday, March 21 and Saturday, March 22, Zeds Dead played an intimate set at Manhattan’s historic Katz’s Deli on Thursday, March 20. Presented by Project 91, Zeds Dead took over the landmark NYC Deli that’s been open since 1888 for an extended set filled with classic tunes, fresh remixes, and cuts from their new album. However, the question remains: are they patrami guys or corned beef guys? The jury is still out.

If Katz’s Deli was the appetizer, then the weekend performances at Brooklyn’s premiere EDM nightclub, Avant Gardner, was the main course. Zeds Dead secured two separate lineups for the two events in Brooklyn. We love to see the support for women DJs as Hershe opened the night on Friday and Mary Droppinz played in support on Saturday. Also fresh off a new album release, Distinct Motive played in support on Friday before Truth, the label boss of Deep Dark and Dangerous, set the stage for the main event.
Zeds Dead’s set on Friday was filled with tracks from their new album and some special edits for the New York City crowd, featuring NYC recording artists like Frank Sinatra and Jay-Z. In addition to the huge LED board and a boatload of lasers, Zeds Dead kept with the retro TV theme of their tour poster and placed several rows of old TV sets in front of the DJ booth. The images on the TVs complemented the graphics displayed in the background.

Zeds Dead closed out its trifecta of shows on Saturday with Suray Sertin getting the party started. The aforementioned Deadbeats and Altered States producer Mary Droppinz played next before bass music OG Mr. Carmack provided direct support for Zeds Dead. Saturday’s set had a bit less of Friday’s NYC hip-hop and a bit more of the big hits like “Ecstasy of Soul” and “Collapse.” Despite the indoor warehouse vibes of The Great Hall, I enjoyed this tour compared to some of their Deadbeats takeovers of the outdoor Brooklyn Mirage.
With three New York City events in the books, Zeds Dead can now set its sights on Ultra Music Festival and Miami Music Week. Tonight, Thursday, March 27, Zeds Dead will close out an all-star lineup at the Deadbeats vs. Cyclops Recordings show at Mana Wynnwood in Miami. Then on Friday, Zeds Dead will play the 11pm closing set at Ultra’s Live Stage.
A quick look at Zeds Dead’s updated tour flyer shows a bunch of shows with limited tickets remaining, with others completely sold out.

Legendary DJ and producer duo Zeds Dead have unveiled the highly anticipated conceptual film for their sophomore album, Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness. This visual companion, directed by Callum Gilles and Zeds Dead, expands the album’s sonic world. Together they weave a mesmerizing audiovisual journey through space, time, and sound.
The album concept is a unique blend of nostalgia and innovation—the idea of a television picking up different radio and TV stations from the past century. It draws deep inspiration from Zeds Dead’s live show experience over the past few years. Sampling has always been a vital part of their creative process, stemming from their hip-hop roots. Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness embraces this tradition, blending snippets of old records and films nostalgically and innovatively.
The film showcases a surreal and hypnotic visual style. It takes viewers on a kaleidoscopic journey where sound, light, and radio waves merge into a limitless, ever-changing narrative. This narrative transcends a simple story; it offers an immersive experience that captivates and engages the audience. Whether sonic or visual, transmissions never truly vanish; instead, they drift endlessly through the cosmos, waiting to be rediscovered.
“In making Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness, we connected with the spirit of what Zeds Dead is. We threw whatever crossed our minds at the wall and observed what stuck. One of our biggest inspirations for this album was the idea of not letting anything matter in our creative process except our own taste. It is very much art for art’s sake, and we both fully stand behind the product.” Zeds Dead
Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness is about reclaiming the purity of artistic play, following instincts without hesitation, and rediscovering the joy of creation. Experience intergalactic happiness with Zeds Dead with upcoming performances at Ultra Music Festival, Beyond Wonderland, and The Concourse Project. They will also be returning for two days of Dead Rocks XI in July at Red Rocks Amphitheatre!
It’s a big weekend for bassheads in The Big Apple. Zeds Dead arrives today, Thursday, March 20, for three shows in three days as they tour for their new album, RETURN TO THE SPECTRUM OF INTERGALACTIC HAPPINESS.
Thursday night’s show is a historic event at the famous NYC landmark since 1888, Katz’s Deli. This esteemed purveyor of pastrami and corned beef will close its doors to the public to host Zeds Dead for an intimate set with very limited tickets. Project 91 is hosting the event and the wait list is still open on Dice if you’re feeling lucky!

Zeds Dead has been on fire lately, dropping their first album in eight years Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness. Anticipation for this project has been building for some time now, fueled by the release of featured tracks “Sweet Memories” in November 2024, “Heartbeat” in December 2024, and “One of These Mornings” in January 2025. Containing 14 tracks and two interludes, the album takes listeners on an interdimensional journey through time, space, and sound.
“In making Return To The Spectrum Of Intergalactic Happiness, we really connected with the spirit of what Zeds Dead is,” said the duo. “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.”
Alongside the release of their new album, Zeds Dead embarked on an album tour that kicked off on release day with back-to-back Atlanta shows at The Roxy and The District. With support from Montycler, A Hundred Drums, and Truth Friday’s show at The Roxy marked the debut of Zeds Dead’s visionary concept—a performance designed to mimic a TV flickering through time, highlighting their mastery of sampling from old records and films.
Saturday’s set at The District showcased some of their new music but leaned into a more intimate experience with house and DnB-heavy selections. The event featured support from local Atlanta artists JennyKat and Wilsun.

After a stop in Boston on Friday, March 14, Zeds Dead finally brought the bass to Nashville, taking over The Pinnacle on Saturday, March 15. Nikita the Wicked set the tone for the night with heavy bass, followed by A Hundred Drums, who delivered a deep dubstep set. Cool Customer kept the energy high, seamlessly shifting between glitch-hop bass and DnB.
Following an energetic and dynamic performance from the supporting lineup, Zeds Dead took the stage, unveiling their one-of-a-kind visual experience that fully immerses the audience in the journey of Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness—all while dressed in stylish suits.
Their set opened with “Light,” the first track on the new album, featuring haunting dialogue from The NeverEnding Story: “Why is it so dark?… In the beginning, it is always dark.… One grain of sand is all that remains.” As the tension built, the song erupted into a hard-hitting DnB drop, launching a high-energy sequence of drum & bass that set the tone for the rest of the night.
Throughout their performance, Zeds Dead seamlessly transitioned between old favorites, new tracks from their latest album, and multiple unreleased songs and remixes. Among the fan-favorite classics, they played “Kill ‘Em” with 1000 Volts, “Scared” with Peekaboo, “Mad Ting” with Moody Good and Killa P, “One Three Nine” with Scruffizzer, “Gassed Up VIP” with Subtronics, and their remix of “Atmosphere” by GodLovesUgly. From their new album, Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness, they performed “Hold My Hand,” “One of These Mornings,” “Angel,” “Bad Guy,” “Heartbeat,” “A Million Dreams,” and “Sweet Memories.”
Zeds Dead also treated the crowd to several unreleased remixes, including Bill Conti’s Rocky theme, “Gonna Fly Now,” Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer,” Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” and Nancy Sinatra’s “Bang Bang.” One of the night’s biggest highlights was their performance of “Ecstasy of Soul” with GRiZ, a moment amplified by mesmerizing lasers and an electrified crowd. Just as the audience was fully absorbed in the experience, they dropped into “Bumpy Teeth,” a high-energy collaboration with Subtronics, proving once again that Zeds Dead’s music transcends subgenres—no matter what they play, their sound is in a league of its own.
The set concluded with an unforgettable sequence that began with their unreleased remix of Gene Wilder’s “Pure Imagination,” which featured elements of John Lennon’s “Imagine.” This led to their “Channel Flipping” segment, a mind-bending audiovisual display where they sampled old films and TV classics like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Bob Ross, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Star Wars, and Pink Floyd. As the visuals faded, the words “Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow” echoed, building anticipation for the final song of the night. The show closed with one of their most popular tracks, “Collapse,” leaving the crowd in awe as the original fan-favorite version played out to an unforgettable finale.
Overall, Zeds Dead’s sets in both Atlanta and Nashville were a glimpse of history in the making. The duo outdid themselves, delivering an unparalleled auditory experience and a visually stunning performance that was both dynamic and intentional.

Imagine perfect weather, bass music pulsating beside a flowing river, and a community of enthusiastic bass fans — that’s Bass Camp VII! Taking place on July 27 and July 28 in Downtown Reno on the Truckee River, the scenic views made this bass festival an unforgettable experience. Once again, Bass Camp showed why it deserves to be on your festival radar!

Bass Camp was an all-ages event that lived up to its description. Pregnant women enjoyed the event, as did families in matching outfits and even newborns (wearing protective hearing headphones, of course). The atmosphere at Bass Camp was perfect for families, friends, and future ravers to create lasting memories.
Bass Camp was perfect for the 25+ ravers, too. The festival started at 2 pm and was over by 11 pm. An additional benefit of Bass Camp is that the Truckee River flows through the festival grounds, providing plenty of scenic seating areas for attendees to enjoy.

The festival grounds featured grassy areas shaded by trees and rocks leading up to the water, which provided the perfect place to relax and take in the surroundings. One unique feature was the Giving Tree Stage, where attendees could use headphones to listen to either bass or house sets.
Festivalgoers could move around freely while enjoying their favorite DJs sitting by the water, creating lasting memories and connecting with nature. Seeing people paddling on paddle boards while different DJs put on pyrotechnic displays was quite a sight. Combined with the sunsets and impressive fire and laser shows, the view was truly breathtaking.

Everyone in the Bass Camp crowd exhibited PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect) and was passionate about the bass and dubstep played throughout the weekend. When the beat dropped, everyone instantly smiled, making it easy to move around. The head-banging and hyping each other up added to the excitement. There is something magical about being surrounded by flames, without a care in the world, while breaking a rail.
From the opening DJs to the headliners Gigantic Nghtmre and Zeds Dead, everyone gave their all and held nothing back on the stage during their sets. You could see the DJs’ love for their music while up there, giving the bass community what they want. Despite the name, Bass Camp offered a variety of bass house and future bass artists to complement the hard-hitting beats.

Drum and bass (DnB) continued to get the recognition it deserves, with DJs incorporating it into their sets. DnB is a good time, and seeing it live throughout the weekend was an excellent pick-me-up early in the day, jumping around with friends.
Gorilla T ripped off his shirt during the middle of his set and jumped on the decks to excite the crowd. If your favorite DJ isn’t shirtless and jumping on the decks, then you may be at the wrong set. He wasn’t the only one who kept the Gud Vibrations going Saturday night!

Night 1 on the main stage featured captivating performances by Kill the Noise B2B Bro Safari, also known as Kill Safari. With their electrifying light show, Wax Motif and San Holo brought a vibrant energy to Bass Camp. Watching them perform is always a treat, as their sound and production always impress.
What do you get when you mix Big Gigantic’s sensual saxophone, drums, and Nghtmre’s deeply moving beats and lyrics? You get Gigantic Nghtmre. Gigantic Nghtmre sets do not happen often, so seeing one live is always a special treat. On stage, they captivated the crowd with breathtaking moments. Those riding the rails felt the heat throughout the night, without a doubt.

At the Dancetronauts Bass Station stage, Moon Boots showcased his funky flair by keeping the crowd dancing all night. Following Moon Boots, Marten Horger brought his feel-good bass house music, which powered the crowd’s minds, bodies, and souls. His iconic mustache beamed from ear to ear as he performed on stage.
The fun continued into Sunday at the Dancetronauts Bass Station. Day 2 was filled with intense performances by DJs like Effin, Cyclops, and Bear Grillz, leading to wild mosh pits. It was so intense that Advil was needed afterward.
The energy and power of the live performances were a different experience than just listening to these DJs on streaming apps. At the Dancetronauts Bass Station, it felt like unleashing your inner beast. If you ever fell, the crowd was always ready to help you back up!

Zeds Dead had the main stage moving from the opening of their set to the very end. This iconic EDM duo continues to push the boundaries of EDM, and at Bass Camp, they did not disappoint. The talented duo from Deadbeats had the crowd moving all night long. There may have been a few tears shed, but they quickly vanished when their hard-hitting bass dropped. It is always a memorable night whenever Zeds Dead is on the lineup.
When the headliners Gigantic Nghtmre and Zeds Dead closed the night out on the main stage, the afters were just getting started at Cypress. This stage became home to the riddim rats after Bass Camp. The chop shop was chopping and slicing — knees were to the chest, no questions asked!

Overall, Bass Camp was a phenomenal festival. Attendees enjoyed scenic views, great music, making new friends, access to clean porta-potties, and the chance to let loose and be carefree for the weekend.
