Don't Wake Me Up - Deep Zone Project release a new single at the start of the summer

After a series of successful covers of hits (such as "Istina" by Milena and "Nyama kak" by Antibiotica), the musicians from DEEP ZONE Project are starting the summer with a new, completely original song. While the music for "Don't Wake Me Up" is the work of the band, Robby (Roberto Nikolov) and Vanya Shtereva helped with the lyrics, and the arrangement is by Dian Savov - Dian Solo. He shares that creating your own music is much more difficult than reworking existing songs:


"DEEP ZONE Project is not a cover band - we were born creating original music. I ask myself what is easier, and I answer that making 100% original music from nothing is actually the more difficult thing. Because when you make a remix or a cover version, you have all this essence that the original hit delivered and was stable over time, and you just change it into a different musical concept. But when you make original music, you first have to decide where to go. In "Don't Wake Me Up", I first made the instrumental, which is again in a slightly atypical style for DEEP ZONE, because we haven't had a song like that before - in such a tempo and in such a style. That's exactly what we wanted - to both preserve the Deep Zone signature, and to be something different. Then the three of us got together many times, thought about the lyrics. We got stuck many times, we didn't like some words, we changed them. That's why we asked our friends - both Robby and Vanya Shtereva joined in with a few words, but they are the exact words that filled this puzzle to make this beautiful song."

Dian Solo gives a special place to the video for "Don't Wake Me Up", for which a special choreography was created. To participate in it, the singer in DEEP ZONE Project - Eva Maria, who is also a mother of a young kid - went to dances every day for a month to master the choreography. And it corresponds to the idea and sound of the song - to resemble eighties hits that encourage you to dance. Dian Solo defines the style as synth wave pop, which recreates the era of the 1980s.
