House of Zed

About Me

Minneapolis-based House of Zed, a.k.a Reverend Zed, has been a jazz musician, rocker, and occasional Karaoke whore, but electronic music is his passion. And yes, Zed is a Gnostic minister.

A purely digital artist, House of Zed interfaces performance hardware and software with traditional DJ gear for a completely tactile-driven experience. He fuses both traditional mixing techniques with digital effects in a style that doesn't try to emulate vinyl or CD DJs. It instead celebrates the unique sounds and capabilities of technology fused with and inspired by the human spirit and love of the boom boom boom...

Interweaving his own beats and melodies with the incredible music of some of the people he truly admires, House of Zed creates a vibe that brings the tribes together to BOUNCE...

Life at the speed of sound

ideas flash across neurons, coalesce, vanish without ever becoming a reality...dreams take shape from the depths of the imagination, graze across the lucid mind, fade to nothing...love sparks, flares,...
