Canadian EDM duo Zeds Dead are in the final days of their annual "Deadbeats Tour" — and despite their busy schedule, they've managed to announce plans for another instalment in the We Are Deadbeats compilation series.
Arriving on January 14 via Deadbeats, We Are Deadbeats Vol. 4 will feature an array of the genre's leading artists, including Holly, Champagne Drip, Jauz, Ganja White Night, Omar Linx, Subtronics and Urbandawn.
Of the album, Zeds Dead issued the following statement:
We wanted to collaborate with some artists on our label as well as artists that represent the kind of music you'll hear at a Deadbeats show. We are in the process of finishing our second album, and at the same time have been working on these tracks for our live sets. Over time all these tracks started fitting together like a mixtape or compilation of sorts, and we felt it was a natural evolution of the We Are Deadbeats series we've had on the label since it started. It took shape very organically and what was once meant to be a sort of precursor to our album eventually transformed into an album of its own and we're incredibly happy with how it turned out. That second Zeds Dead album is still coming though!
Alongside the announcement, they've shared the first track from the forthcoming compilation. Listen to "Sounds of the Underground" featuring Urbandawn below.
Zeds Dead have some remaining dates left on their current Deadbeats tour. Find the rest of the schedule below, including one stop in Montreal for Igloofest next February.
