Zeds Dead, Subtronics & Tape B Drop Long-Awaited Collab “Word Scramble” Via Deadbeats

Three of bass music’s biggest names finally made it official.

Zeds Dead, Subtronics, and Tape B just released their long-anticipated collaboration “Word Scramble” via Deadbeats, bringing together three of the most impactful forces shaping the current bass scene.

The track first appeared during their B3B set at Decadence Denver on New Year’s Eve, quickly becoming one of the most talked-about IDs online. Since then, it’s been circulating through clips and live sets, building serious hype without ever getting a proper release—until now.

In its final form, “Word Scramble” blends each artist’s signature sound into something that feels both cohesive and forward-thinking. Zeds Dead lay down the cinematic weight and heavy low-end, Subtronics adds sharp, technical sound design, and Tape B brings that raw, nostalgia-driven dubstep energy.

The result hits that balance between classic and modern—rooted in the genre’s DNA but clearly pushing it forward.

The release also lands at a key moment for all three. Zeds Dead are gearing up for Journey Of A Lifetime, the biggest tour of their 15-year career, while also celebrating 10 years of Deadbeats. Subtronics continues his run at the top of the global festival circuit, including appearances at Coachella. Meanwhile, Tape B keeps building momentum with major performances and his biggest tour run to date.
