Canadian producer, DJ duo Zeds Dead has some big news. Yesterday the duo unveiled a brand new song "One Time" featuring the vocals of Los Angeles rapper Murs. In a message posted on Facebook to go along with the new track, the "You Know" DJs also revealed that they were hard at work on a debut album and will be playing out a lot of that material on a series of shows this fall across North America.
"One Time" brings together the best of what Zeds Dead as an artist - blend together various genres. They combine dubstep, trap and hip-hop into a relentless heater that does not rely on the hyped up vocals of Murs, but rather uses them to accentuate their powerful and varied production.
The upcoming series of shows, titled the 2 Night Stand Tour, will be special for Zeds Dead for a few reasons. They are doing two back-to-back shows in each city they touch down in, which includes Brooklyn, Austin, San Francisco and Los Angeles over various weekends on October, November and December. They also want to go back to smaller venues after playing such large festivals all summer.
They explain their reasoning in a Facebook post.
"We wanted to go back to our roots with this one, away from the festival stages and big rooms, into the same rooms that rock and rolls greats came up in. And to give you a first chance to hear the unreleased music that we've been working on for our forthcoming debut album in an intimate room surrounded by fans and friends."
You can request up to four tickets to each show via a special Zeds Dead website. The request period is open now and closes on Sept. 14 at 12 p.m. EST.
