Renowned DJ and producer duo Zeds Dead have unveiled a groundbreaking visual accompaniment to their sophomore album, Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness. Co-directed with Callum Gillies, this conceptual film transforms the 14-track album into an immersive cosmic journey, offering fans a unique audiovisual experience.
The film had its exclusive premiere on March 4 in Beverly Hills, where 400 fans and industry peers gathered to witness this innovative project. The narrative delves deep into the album’s storytelling, exploring themes of nostalgia, emotional depth, and the boundless nature of creativity. The visual style is hypnotic and ever-shifting, embodying the album’s core concept that transmissions—whether sonic or visual—never truly disappear but drift endlessly through the cosmos, awaiting rediscovery.
Drawing inspiration from their live performances and a hip-hop-rooted sampling approach, Zeds Dead seamlessly blend vintage records and films, bridging the past and future through sound and vision. This project stands as a testament to their trailblazing spirit and commitment to pushing artistic boundaries.
In discussing the creative process behind the album and film, Zeds Dead remarked, “In making Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness, we really connected with the spirit of what Zeds Dead is. Throwing whatever crossed our minds at the wall and seeing what stuck. One of our biggest inspirations for this album was the idea of not letting anything matter in our creative process except for our own taste. It is very much art for art’s sake, and the product is something we can both fully stand behind.”
The album’s title originated from a dream in 2017, a phrase that resurfaced years later, perfectly encapsulating the project’s themes. The “Return” signifies a homecoming to their roots and the joy of uninhibited creation, while “The Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness” evokes the vast electromagnetic spectrum and the infinite energy connecting all things.
Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness is now available across all streaming platforms. Fans are encouraged to experience both the album and its visual counterpart to fully appreciate the duo’s artistic vision.
