Smirnoff Sound Collective x LEAP Go Behinds The Scenes With Zeds Dead

Yannick Anton

Falling in love with an artist is a whole lot like speed dating. You've got a couple minutes to woo your listener and hope what you're saying really resonates. Well, I fell in love with Zeds Dead back in 2012 when I first heard their remix of Bon Iver's "Woods." Fast forward to 2016, I'm still digging the sounds, but I don't really know much about the duo. Thanks to Smirnoff Sound Collective, I've recently rekindled my love affair as this latest mini-documentary takes a behind the scenes look at Zeds Dead's creative journey from two friends bonding over artistic similarities in a basement to building a brand and sound that will be played in households everywhere.

LEAP follows Zeds Dead to their hometown in Toronto where the dynamic duo reveal their family roots, influences, and their DIY mentality as well as the hunger that fed their debut album "Northern Lights," and the fuel to fire that led to their own imprint DeadBeats Records.

I've watched Zeds Dead from crowded stages to packed clubs, but I've never seen an intimate look like this. Now, I can listen to "Northern Lights" with a whole new appreciation and give props to the guys that always knew Zed was never dead.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
