Slam The Door ➔ Zedd

Slam The Door to 2011 and start this new year with a completely mental gritty bassline by German electro genius Zedd.

Zedd, the german electro house prodigy, has released his most recent tack, entitled “Slam The Door” on Skrillex’s recently created OWSLA label. This track bounces along at 130bpm and starts off with a funky synth that will leave some wondering whats going on, until, that classic Zedd electro break kicks in and turns this into a pure rager. Later in the song he samples some interesting vocals that help to lighten the mood and cause an immediate crowd connection before a final slamming drop. If you enjoy Zedd be sure to check out more of him here.
