Deep Zone, the Bulgarian Eurovision representatives in 2008, revealed the official video clip of the song Play that was disqualified from taking part in the Cypriot national final last February.

Deep Zone, has been disqualified for breeching the CyBC rule about the songs being made available before the night of the final. The Cypriot broadcaster’s rules stated clearly that no part of the finalist songs had to be available before the night of the final.

Play was found to have been made available on the net. The song was written by Miglena Staneva. The Bulgarian group could not hide their disappointment for losing a chance to return in the Eurovision Song Contest. The song has a catchy rythm with the use of an Eastern string instrument.

Eventually Jon Lilygreen & The Islanders won the Cypriot final. Along with Balthazar, Deep Zone performed DJ Take Me Away and placed 11th in the second semi-final thus not making it to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 held in Belgrade.
