Penning a gritty postcard from dubstep's warehouse days, the influential duo has excavated their roots to serve up a slice of pure nostalgic filth. "Sweet Memories" is vintage Zeds Dead, with thick, viscous bass that seeps through its woozy arrangement like cold honey. There's something almost comforting about how the p

GRAMMY®-nominated artist ZHU just released his new album, GRACE, via Astralwerks. His most ambitious and unique project yet, GRACE begs to be listened to from beginning to end, as ZHU takes listeners on a journey from darkness to light, tension to release, uncertainty to peace.

Discovering Zomboy’s Never Say Die EPs a whole decade ago was one of the major catalysts in getting me into dubstep. Both Game Time and The Dead Symphonic were brilliant works with tons and tons of replay value and pretty much made Zomboy a household name in the genre. Of course, Never Say Die is now closed — but Zomboy is launching his own label: Rott N’ Roll Records. Dead Man Walking Pt. 1 is out today from Zomboy, inaugurating the label with its first EP, and it feels a lot like a return to

It began with what is now ‘Eternity’s penultimate track, ‘When Heaven Calls’, a piece she wrote in the aftermath of the most tragic of circumstances three years ago. ‘Heaven’ became the first in a track series, which then bloomed organically into what we’re looking at here today: the young Bulgarian producer and DJ’s debut LP.      ZOYA goes on to explain: “In 2021, I lost my
