Zeds Dead is alive and well.
The beat-dropping duo — comprised of Dylan Mamid and Zachary Rapp-Rovan aka DC and Hooks — just announced their summer 2026 ‘Journey of a Lifetime Tour’ with special guests ALLEYCVT, Daily Bread, Deathpact, Dr. Fresch, Imanu and more.
Midway through the North American run, the pair is slated to make their sole New York stop on Saturday, July 18 when they swing into Queens’ Forest Hills Stadium.
“This will be our biggest tour yet as its taking place in large outdoor venues and we’re going to make it the best show we can make,” Zeds Dead shared via Instagram.
“…we’re going all out on production, new music, and stage design to bring you a new show that will take you on a magical journey.”
While we don’t know exactly what Mamid and Rapp-Rovan have planned for their all-new show, Set List FM reports they performed a whopping 41 songs at the 2025 North Coast Music Festival.
Just a few of the most notable, genre-hopping remixes to make the cut at that performance included Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” Eminem’s “My Name Is,” Basement Jaxx’s “Where’s Your Head At,” T.I.’s “What You Know” and Bill Conti’s iconic theme from “Rocky.”
In 2024, The Post’s Miska Salemann saw the twosome live at NYC’s Brooklyn Mirage and reported “[their music] turns off part of the brain that feels overworked and lights up something more playful in the buried subconscious.”
“…there were lighthearted moments, too, like when a groovy hip-hop beat folded into the War jam ‘Low Rider’ aka ‘The George Lopez Show’ theme song or when a smart-mouthed track weaved in lines from ‘It’s A Hard Knock Life.’”

Zeds Dead new music
On March 7, 2025, Zeds Dead unveiled their third studio album “Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness.”
The sample-heavy record is moody, atmospheric, dreamy, ethereal but, most importantly, will get you showing off your finest footwork in almost no time.
Highlights here include the glitchy masterpiece “Light,” blissed-out epic “Fall Away,” thrumming, propulsive “Angel,” euphoric jam “Heartbeat” and goosebumps-inducing “One Of These Mornings.”
You can’t go wrong with the soulful heartbreaker “Can’t Make It,” either.
To hear for yourself, you can find “Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness” here.
More recently, Zeds Dead released two singles: “Runaway” and “I’ll Come Runnin.”
