A Deal With God is my new collaboration with @user-520977840 – an emerging producer and DJ. ZARD started the track in an ambient-electronic style, and I picked it up from the drop with my groovy house beat. Our parts keep intertwining throughout the track. It’s ambient house at 123 BPM, where atmosphere meets energy.
While testing the unfinished track in a DJ set, I thought of layering it with the vocal from Kate Bush – Running Up That Hill, since the key was the same. It worked great, so I added similar vocal chops directly into the track. That’s also why it’s called A Deal With God.
Live, it can also be connected directly with Bush, but that depends on the DJ’s skill – getting a license for such a famous vocal is, of course, not possible.

Ako znie stret generácií Gen X a Gen Z v jednej skladbe?
A Deal With God je moja nová spolupráca so ZARD-om – vychádzajúcim producentom a DJ-om. ZARD začal skladbu v ambient-electronic štýle a ja som na to nadviazal od dropu svojím groovy house beatom. Naše časti sa v skladbe neustále prelínajú. Je to ambient house v 123 BPM, kde sa strieda atmosféra s energiou.
Keď som ešte nedokončený track skúšal v DJ sete, napadlo mi ho, kvôli rovnakej tónine, podložiť vokálom od Kate Bush – Running Up That Hill. Fungovalo to skvele, a tak som podobné vokálne chop-y vložil aj priamo do skladby. Aj preto nesie názov A Deal With God.
Naživo sa to dá prepojiť aj priamo s Bush, ale to už je na šikovnosti DJ-a – licenciu na takýto známy vokál, samozrejme, vybaviť nejde.
