British producer Zero returns to Deadbeats with the release of “Holy Ghost,” the second single from his upcoming EP. Garnering significant attention from key selectors like Caspa and Peekaboo, this UK tastemaker has been creating waves within the bass community. His recent viral hit “ON JOB” has been played by artists such as Sammy Virgi, Eptic, Levity, Zeds Dead, Dr. Fresch, and many others.
Back with his most recent release, “ Holy Ghost,” Zero unleashes a wonky, high-octane festival-ready weapon for any DJ’s arsenal. Brought to you via Deadbeats, this track solidifies Zero’s presence as a rising star among the Deadbeats roster. Opening with a choppy, reverby vocal line and a piercing high hat, the track sizzles with anticipation. Around the thirty-second mark, the wonkiness is slowly peppered in. “ Shakin’ like they caught the Holy G…” screams the sped-up vocals just before the bass booms overhead.
The bass booms ring out loudly as if they were struck from some Tibetan gong. Layered with snappy snares and wonky textures, this section of the song has an undeniable infectious groove that forces you to bob along. Hypnotizing vocal chops provide a strange sort of interlude between the surrounding bass lines. A building drum roll builds pressure for the final drop, this is when the magic happens.
A massive switch happens in the final part of the track. The big bass booms are still there but now with a faster, more upbeat backbeat, and the groove is pushed into overdrive. The wonky dubstep-like textures still fill the background as the final drop kicks into high gear. From a catchy groove to a full-on dance floor igniter, the last part is so sick! This ending will definitely have the whole club bouncing until the final note echoes!
