FERDOUS DEAL WITH IT

Afghan-Dutch producer Ferdous has returned with a new single, ‘Deal With It’. The experimental producer has reached new heights with this cut, which blends a hypnotic, trancey groove with 80s synths and a layer of pop, before switching things up in the outro. The track achieves a lot in roughly 90 seconds. He explains the track as “my way of celebrating pain. I'm going through phases in my life right now that I don't fully understand, this song was my way of making sense of the different shitstorms around me...Pain sometimes gives me an immense love and appreciation for existing, which sounds super conflicting, but that's exactly what I tried to put into this song.” ‘Deal With It’ is taken from Ferdous’ debut mixtape, Cool Party, which is due for release on February 24th, 2023 via Faintly Red. -Dan Peeke
