Zeds Dead — North Coast Music Festival, Chicago, 2025

Why this recording

Eleven months after the fact, North Coast Music Festival posted this Sunday closing set on its own channel, with multi-camera filming credited to stoptimelive. The setlist.fm listing shows a duo casting a wide net: Eminem and Wu-Tang Clan remixes right from the start, “Gassed Up” with Subtronics, a take on Fleetwood Mac's “The Chain”, then “Pure Imagination” near the end. The 1 hr 13 min on film covers most of the scheduled 75-minute slot, making this a near-complete record of the set.

Full multicam set from Canadian duo Zeds Dead, captured closing the Stadium Stage at Chicago’s North Coast Music Festival on 31 August 2025, for the festival’s 15th anniversary. Pillars of North American bass music, Dylan Mamid and Zach Rapp-Rovan (DC and Hooks) blend dubstep, drum & bass, house and instrumental hip-hop in an eclectic set built for a large festival crowd. The multi-camera capture conveys the energy of a closing night: massive bass, explosive drops and light shows in the heart of a buzzing stadium. This full set illustrates the versatility of a duo known for bold transitions and a taste for stylistic range. The mix highlights the electronic textures and the physical impact of the sound system. A live concert perfect for reliving, in 2025, the stage power of Zeds Dead, filmed at the anniversary of the North Coast Music Festival in Chicago.
