The Zombie Kids

The Zombie Kids are a Spanish dance collective of DJs and producers based in Madrid, with Wikipedia identifying core members Edgar Candel Kerri and Cumhur Jay alongside additional producer Ikki. The group's live debut at the 2010 edition of Rock in Rio Lisbon coincided with the release of their breakthrough single Face, a launch that established their presence on Spain's electronic scene.

Prior to adopting The Zombie Kids name, the members performed together as a collective called Zombie, drawing on a retro and vintage aesthetic that eventually carried into their current branding, according to an interview with Remezcla. The group also owns Zombie Club in Madrid, a venue that Apple Music's artist profile describes as the regular platform from which their projects and releases launch, tying their club ownership directly to their DJ output.

Spanish outlet Good2b credited the act with winning an award for best electro dubstep artist, recognition for a period during which they were also running the Zombie Bar restaurant alongside their music career. Member Edgar Candel Kerri has described the project in interviews as functioning like a family or crew, with additional contributors including Costa, Aqeel and Mbaka forming part of a wider collaborative unit around the core DJ trio's club-rooted electro sound.
