INFEKT, one of the most prominent forces in the global riddim and dubstep scene, is set to drop his latest sonic weapon, “Relic,” on May 23 via Zeds Dead’s powerhouse label, Deadbeats. A masterclass in modern low-end destruction, the track showcases INFEKT’s signature blend of dark, contorted basslines and high-impact production — a style that’s earned him a leading role in pushing Germany’s underground bass movement onto the world stage.
With “Relic,” INFEKT delivers a potent tribute to the roots of dubstep, while updating the formula with surgically tight mixdowns and thunderous drums designed to test the limits of any sound system.
“Relic is an homage to a sound that, in my opinion, hasn’t gotten the love it deserves in recent years,” says INFEKT. “I wanted to challenge myself to give it a modern mixdown, with hard-hitting drums and a very tight, full bass—perfect for sound systems. I hope it brings more attention to this style that helped pioneer Dubstep many years ago!”
True to form, “Relic” leans into INFEKT’s experimental edge, with warped ranch bass distortions, hypnotic rhythms, and relentless low-end pressure. The track’s precise sound design and visceral pacing make it an instant standout — not just a nod to dubstep’s origins, but a powerful statement on its future.
The release lands in the middle of INFEKT’s explosive tour run across North America, following massive sets at EDC China, EDC Mexico, and Beyond Wonderland. All momentum now builds toward his highly anticipated debut at EDC Las Vegas, where “Relic” is sure to make its mark on the festival’s towering sound systems.
With each release and tour stop, INFEKT continues to cement his reputation as a leading voice in the next chapter of heavy bass music — championing the underground while evolving it into a more powerful, modern force.
