Half a year in, and Deadbeats Radio continues to serve up impressive curated mixes without pause. The sheer volume of unreleased material Zeds Dead must be stockpiling is remarkable — enough to fuel a full sixty-minute session every single week. To keep things interesting, the Canadian pair regularly rotates in guest selectors or rolls out concept-driven installments, much like their beloved dubstep retrospective, which still holds the crown as their top-streamed broadcast. Most recently, the duo unveiled a drum 'n bass-focused chapter as episode twenty-nine, and the energy doesn't let up from start to finish.
Shortly into the set, both members grab the microphone to chat about their personal history with drum 'n bass. They reflect on how the genre served as their original entry point into electronic dance music and how it pushed them to sharpen their craft behind the boards. It's hard to imagine Zeds Dead reaching their current stature without that early dnb influence, making this tribute to such a foundational style a meaningful one.
Looking ahead, Zeds Dead have made it clear that 2018 will be heavily studio-oriented, with plans to develop new tracks, expand their imprint, elevate their radio program, and refine their stage performances. They've also hinted that Deadbeats Radio will feature additional guest appearances and more genre-themed broadcasts down the line, so fans who enjoyed this particular edition should stay tuned for what's next.
