In the realm of electronic music, Deadbeats has carved out a niche as a force of innovation and diversity. With the release of their sixth annual compilation, We Are Deadbeats Volume 6, the label, pioneered by renowned Canadian duo Zeds Dead, continues to push musical boundaries and introduce the next wave of influential artists.
The Compilation’s Core
Just released, We Are Deadbeats Volume 6 is a mind-bending journey featuring 20 groundbreaking tracks. It encapsulates a wide spectrum, ranging from 140 bpm dubstep to drum & bass, trap, and downtempo, showcasing the label’s commitment to genre diversity. The highlight is a powerful collaboration between Zeds Dead and Chee, titled “Tomb of the Scorpion,” which epitomizes the label’s ethos of traveling far past the limits of bass music.
Emerging Stars & Seasoned Talents
This year’s compilation serves as a platform for both emerging stars like Steller, VEIL, and Lumasi, along with seasoned artists such as Hydraulix and Digital Ethos. Each track, from Steller’s “VIBE ONE TIME” to VEIL’s “Hellpod,” is not just music but a narrative in sound, meticulously curated to reflect Deadbeats’ hallmark of quality and creativity.
Artistic Synergy & Global Influence
The compilation underscores the collaborative spirit within the bass music community, with tracks like “Back In It,” by Lumasi and Ghost Lotus, and “DANGER” by MONTYCLER and STVSH. This synergy highlights Deadbeats’ role as a global influencer, drawing talents from a multitude of different backgrounds, including Don Jamal from Jordan, whose distinct sound blends regional influences with universal bass music trends.
Creating A Legacy In Bass Music
Deadbeats has not only launched careers but also defined them, with previous compilations catalyzing the rise of artists like REZZ, Subtronics, and Mersiv. We Are Deadbeats Volume 6 carries on this tradition, promising to be a stepping stone for the next generation of artists poised to dominate the electronic music scene.
Community & Experience
Beyond music, Deadbeats cultivates a unique community experience, evident in events like the Deadrocks at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and the upcoming Deadbeats Texas Jamboree. These events are more than concerts; they are cultural gatherings that reflect the label’s deep-rooted ethos of community and musical freedom.

Raised in upstate New York, I was always a big fan of music but never really listened to electronic music. Within the first month of attending Florida State University and meeting some new friends, I was introduced to the rave scene. After seeing Ekali at my first show, I was instantly hooked. Since then, I have dived into every subgenre of electronic music, picked up DJing, and mixed for clubs and different entertainment events in Tallahassee. Once graduating with degrees in marketing and hospitality, I was hired for a sales position. However, I recently decided to leave my sales job to pursue my dream of working in the music industry. Currently, I run Magnetic Magazine's Melodic Techno Charts, along with my role as a PR and marketing specialist for different artists and labels. Some of my favorite artists are REZZ, Kyle Watson, TOBEHONEST, San Pacho, Josh Baker, HUGEL, ARTBAT, Vintage Culture, Ganja White Night, CamelPhat, Green Velvet, Jungle, Milky Chance, Paco Versailles, Franc Moody, and RÜFUS DU SOL. My favorite festivals are Hulaween (by far), EDC Orlando, and all the different venues during Miami Music Week. Outside of music, I love sports (especially hockey, soccer, tennis, basketball, and spike ball), going to the movies, working out, sushi, Chick-fil-A, food in general, and hanging with my dog Maui and my cat Loki. Feel free to reach out to me via my email or on IG, I love expanding my network of friends and business opportunities!
