- 3rd Person biographies Zaid loves music... Zaid loves house... Zaid loves to dance... Zaid loves. :)Zaid Edghaim loves music. He loves making it, listening to it, discovering it, dancing to it and playing it. Filled with an immense passion, his efforts churn sparks; sparks that manifest a glowing energy that is rooted in all that is good and true about the spirit of music and its ability to affect wonderful positive change in the world. It is as if by instinct alone Zaid Edghaim has arrived to music’s doorway. Originally Palestinian, Zaid was surrounded by music and highly influenced by traditional middle-eastern drums and Arabic strings. His love for the basic minimal elements of sound came early. At age 15, an adventurous spirit with an insatiable hunger for knowledge sent him to Toronto allowing him to explore his passion for sound with greater intensity. In the summer of 2008, local DJ/Promoter team HushLamb Productions took notice, approaching Zaid to sign on to the HushLamb team and offering him residency at Toi Bar. Since then, Zaid has been gaining momentum by forging his deep minimal sets into the rooms of some of Toronto’s hottest spots playing alongside artists Hugo, Daniel Steinberg and Christian Burkhardt to name a few. Interning for Thoughtless Music boss Noah Pred, Zaid entered the world of production with upcoming tracks to be released on Thoughtless Music and Troia Recordings. Influenced by the productions of Audiofly, Seuil, Tom Ellis, Kate Simko to name a few, Zaid’s track selection demonstrates his clear affection for a crisp, clean sound grounded by deep baselines, claps, and warped glitches. The result is music that is emotional and physical, as organic as it is metallic and as appropriate for the dance floor as for any proper afterhours. Zaid’s love of music, holistic approach to sound and programming, to tweaks and turns, to bounces and blends, a passion and commitment to free thought, make each musical narrative of inspiration and intrigue. A constantly progressing and ever-eager student of his craft, this economist of sound clearly has a passion for the music he is creating both behind the decks and in his studio. Offering what can best be described as minimal that makes you bounce, Zaid Edghaim is a welcomed addition to Toronto’s electronic music community and a story of passion and creative genius that has only just begun.
