Zedd has settled on a pretty effective and lucrative EDM sound — just take a look at his two sold out shows in Oakland at the Fox Theater October 8 & 9. Let’s be honest here — this is not just the future of pop music, but the immediate present. Encroaching into Kaskade’s long-developed aesthetic, but making singles like “Clarity” even more accessible for radio play, Zedd’s music is anthemic and centered around angelic female vocals. Along these lines, Zedd is now cashing in (wouldn’t you?), producing tracks for Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber.
A Zedd show still packs a punch, giving bassheads the drops and video-game inspired noises they crave. Photographer extraordinaire Marc Fong was on the scene to capture the moment.
