Zeds Dead are back with a brand new single, “Alive” with MKLA, celebrating their imminent return to the touring circuit. “Alive” sees Zeds Dead gravitating to house music, continuing their multi-genre approach to music production and building on their signature sound.
“Alive” is Zeds Dead’s first release since their genre-defying mixtape Catching Z’s in March, a project that runs the gamut of electronic music, blending elements of downtempo, drum and bass, and house into a cohesive 13-track project. While Catching Z’s was released on the recently launched Altered States record label, “Alive” drops on Zeds Dead’s own label Deadbeats.
MKLA and Zeds Dead shared some words about their collaboration:
“This is one of my favorite songs that I feel like I’ve ever written and working with Zeds Dead on it has been one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had on a record, yet. Zeds Dead are artists who believe in making music that feels conceptual, meaningful, and emotional – I’d gotten a sense of this even before we started working together because the vocals / lyrics they showcase always have something deeper to say and the artists they work with are the same. I’m really grateful that I could connect with such legendary artists in such a meaningful, artful way.” – MKLA
“We’re excited to get this new one out with our friend MKLA and to play it out at our first shows back since March 2020 this weekend at DeadRocks!” – Zeds Dead
