Zeds Dead is Hosting the Biggest House Party of the Weekend Tonight
It’s always refreshing to see popular DJs playing out genres that their fans might not be used to from time to time. When Zeds Dead hinted that they might be doing so in a tweet, fans were already itching to see it happen. Not long after, Zeds Dead confirmed that a house DJ set would happen, and it will be livestreamed via Twitch. The Deadbeats House Party will begin tonight at 6PM PM via the label’s Twitch channel. No other details have been announced, aside from the fact that the set will indeed be house music-centric. Of course, Zeds Dead have hosted livestreamed House Party sets before, and multiple other artists like GG Magree, DJ Afterthought, Kompany, and Sippy have also graced the virtual stage. However, the streams haven’t ever been limited to house musi...

Zeds Dead and PEEKABOO’s Long Sought-After “POWA” ID Finally Hits Streaming Platforms
It’s tough to follow up a project as epic of proportions as this, but Zeds Dead have done it. The famed dubstep duo finally released the wolves today when they dropped “POWA,” a monster collaboration with fellow bass music heavyweight PEEKABOO. Ever since Zeds Dead unveiled the track at the 2019 edition of Ultra Music Festival, it had become one of their most highly sought after IDs. PEEKABOO then went on to fan the flames of the excitement when he dropped it during Monstercat and Brownies & Lemonade‘s “Home Frequency” stream. The single, which arrived by way of Zeds Dead’s Deadbeats banner, is a ferocious blend of both of their sounds. It’s chock full of vicious, wobbly sound design that ties a bow on what was a monster year for bot...

GRiZ and Deadbeats Link Up for All-Star Showing On “Bangers[6].Zip” EP
It’s been a banner year for GRiZ, from his fan-favorite livestreams to a steady stream of releases that show no sign of slowing down. Bangers[6].Zip, released October 16th via Deadbeats, is a powerhouse collaboration with Zeds Dead‘s imprint, spanning all things bass, dubstep and trap. The project’s three tracks are a strong showing from GRiZ, whose enthusiasm for experimentation and sonic exploration is evident throughout. “No Doubt” kicks the EP off to a characteristically psychedelic start, handily integrating energy-building vocal samples for a wobbly, tension-relieving drop. The project then picks up the pace with “Juicy” with Blunts & Blondes, adding forward-thinking synths and complex percussion for a more upbeat addition...
