Today we take into the recent pursuits of Electro House genius and one of my favorite artists Zedd. Before we take a look at these songs I'd suggest you head on over to one of my other prescriptions and seek out Zedd's newest hit Stay The Night ft Hayley Williams.

We start off with a very obscure track by Zedd, shotgun. While it isn't hugely popular as some of his other hits are, shotgun is a great starting place for this post. We get to hear some of his signature big hit electro beats and melodies.

Next up is Zedd's massive Clarity, combining an absolutely crazy good melody with superb vocals performed by Foxes, Clarity is still one of the best songs by the German wonderkind. Its got a big room feel and is really fun to listen to, singing along is also a breeze.

Right on into the complete opposite of the breezy Clarity, we have Shave It. With the hilarious mix of snappy vocal snippets and a hard bassline Shave It, in my opinion, truly brings out the electro in his electro house. Its probably the tune you would find many listeners jumping around to.

Another big hit released with the Clarity album is of course Spectrum featuring Matthew Koma. With awesome vocals, a huge beat and absurd electro house melodies it, even to this day, lives up to why I listened to it for weeks on end in the summer. An excellent song to be sure.

We end with a remix of Alive by Empire Of The Sun (Everyone seems to be remixing them). Zedd flips the tune on its head, speeds up the beat, adds in electro twists on the melodies and overall makes the original that much better. Not to mention that he kept the original vocals in there, which always get points in my book.

And there we go, a look into German Electro House producer Zedd, hopefully you enjoyed the music and maybe even the new visuals. Theres a new image for the top 20 DJ's page as well, so go check it out. Other than that see you tomorrow for a bunch of new tunes.
