Somewhere between a hallucinatory dream and the London Underground, Zeds Dead's new single “Sweet Memories” hits you with that vintage wobble that will make your bones remember 2011.
Writing a stark postcard from dubstep's warehouse days, the influential duo have dug up their roots to deliver a slice of pure nostalgic filth. “Sweet Memories” is a Zeds Dead classic, with thick, viscous bass seeping through its woozy arrangement like cold honey.
There's something almost comforting about how the producers let their classic dubstep elements breathe, resisting the modern temptation to overcomplicate. And the nostalgia is even more palpable thanks to his sample of “I Can't Stand the Rain,” a Memphis soul hit released by Ann Peebles in 1973.
“Sweet Memories” is the lead single from Return to the spectrum of intergalactic happinessZeds Dead's first album in eight years. The album, due out in March 2025, will include many “nostalgic samples” and “references to past pop culture greats,” according to a press release shared with EDM.com.
Zeds Dead will also take the album on a US tour in 2025 and debut a new curated audio-visual experience. Pre-sale will launch on Wednesday, November 20 before tickets go on sale on Friday, November 22. Fans of the duo can register for pre-sale access. here.
