About

<b>The Toronto EDM duo marks 15 years with a sprawling tapestry.</b> In 2025, Toronto EDM duo Zeds Dead released their first proper album, <i>Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness</i>, in nearly a decade. And apparently, that long gap gave them plenty of time to accumulate all sorts of extra material, because just over a year later, we have this equally epic sequel. Like its predecessor, <i>Return to the Return</i> unfurls a sprawling, mixtape-like tapestry of bass-bin-blasting pop (<b>“In Your Head”</b>), indie-sleazy bangers (<b>“Angel 2”</b>), dreamy drum ’n’ bass (<b>“Out of Time”</b>), and deep-house reveries (<b>“Change of the Moon”</b>), all tied together with samples of old instructional science lectures that form a connective thread to the previous release’s themes of utopian space-exploration. But given that <i>Return to the Return</i> arrives as Zeds Dead celebrate their 15th anniversary, there’s a more pronounced nostalgic nod to their hip-hop collagist roots, with atmospheric DJ Shadow-esque pieces like <b>“Pourin Rain”</b> (featuring legendary Nova Scotia turntablist Skratch Bastid) and <b>“Portal”</b> harking back to a time when the duo were first endtroducing themselves to the world.
