Zeds Dead’s Deadbeats returned to Denver earlier this week for their three-day annual takeover. Starting with a two-night stint at Red Rocks on July 2nd and 3rd, the boys welcomed Chase & Status, Smoakland, Nostalgix, BLVK JVCK, and MYTHM, A Hundred Drums b2b Coki, Hamdi, Tape B, and Rohann, before closing each night with a unique two-hour set. Fans were blessed with both new hits as well as ZD classics, and everything in between. Highlights include ‘Shut Up & Sing’, ‘Touch,’ ‘Phuket Sunrise,’ their new ‘Criminal’ collab with Hamdi, and numerous samples and flips from iconic songs throughout history, including ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow‘ by Judy Garland, ‘God Only Knows’ by The Beach Boys, and songs from The Supremes, Gorillaz, Elvis, Destiny’s Child, and many more.

“We had the idea of visually referencing some of the original songs we sampled or remixed. We wanted to shine a light on the vastness of cultural references that go into each set that sometimes could go unnoticed. We felt like seeing the singer that was sampled or the movie scene that was in a song would really bring home the whole ethos of what we’re all about. Really give a nod to sampling and remix culture.”

-Zeds Dead

On July 4th, Deadbeats headed to Civic Center Park for the Backyard Jamboree, a full day of fun with a dunk tank, food trucks, the 3rd Annual Deadbeats Hot Dog Eating Contest, and three stages of music featuring music from Blanke, Rush Hour, SuperAve. B2B Heyz, JAWNS, TWONSKi, Delta Heavy, Kenny Ken, Kumarion B2B Smoakland, Blossom, Mary Droppinz, NOISES, Soki, and Pacifix, and of course the boys. Despite some rain, the day was a success and the boys still threw down with fan favorites like ‘Knights in White Satin,’ ‘GodLovesUgly,’ and ‘Neck and Neck.’

Closing out this year’s Denver takeover with a bang, the Deadbeats Hangover at Mission Ballroom was the set to see this weekend, with two different sets from the boys, including a surprise B2B with NGHTMRE. Zeds Dead delivered fan favorites like ‘In The Beginning,’ ‘Rude Boy,’ and ‘Lies’ and left fans mesmerized with next level visuals and production.

While this year’s annual takeover has sadly come to an end, I know the Deadbeats team has big things in store for us next year to celebrate the 10th anniversary. Until then Deadrocks!

The 10-year anniversary of Random Access Memories, Daft Punk’s 4th studio album has become a full-fledged release party. To celebrate the release of one of its most iconic works, the French robots have gifted their fans with a series of special, never-heard-before, altered versions of the album. Now, they’ve announced a release that will further allow us to dive into the essence of RAM, while leaving behind a crucial part: the drums. That’s right. Daft Punk announced today that they’ll be releasing Random Access Memories ‘Drumless Version’ at the end of this year.

Daft Punk

Random Access Memories, one of the most iconic albums in dance music history. Part of the beginning of a new era. One that redefined the concept of genre-crossing dance music. While we were all used to pop and hip hop becoming dance music’s habitual collaborators, Daft Punk decided to look back. Go to the root. The source. Dance music is known to be the offspring of disco. The groovy, energetic genre that took the 80s by storm and went on to define an entire generation of musicians and fans paved the way for dance music to become the cultural icon it is today.

When Daft Punk released RAM, the mainstream music industry experienced a wave of disco-inspired geniality that went on to inspire hundreds of artists across the globe. A decade later, the records that took the world by storm are back to amaze us one more time.

RAM Drumless Version

This brand new iteration of the GRAMMY-award-winning Album of the Year is unlike anything DP has given us before. It strips away all drum and percussive elements from the album. Doing so brings out a timeless quality to the album, giving listeners the ability to dive deeper into the layers of each track.

Random Access Memories (Drumless Version) will be released on November 17
