A 2012 digital remix of Kate Bush's 1985 masterwork, re-establishing its presence in the digital era. The release arrived nearly three decades after the original track's debut.
- The original 1985 version of "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" was a departure from the more folk-influenced sound of her earlier work. It was the lead single from her fifth studio album, Hounds of Love, and became her first UK top 10 hit since 1978. The song famously features a Fairlight CMI synthesizer, prominently used for its distinctive drum pattern and atmospheric textures.
- This 2012 remix was made available as a digital download. It preceded her 2014 album, 50 Words for Snow, and her first live tour in over 35 years. The remix did not chart on the UK Official Singles Chart.
- The single was released on Bush's own independent label, Fish People. It was made available on August 12, 2012. The remix was also included on the deluxe reissue of Hounds of Love released in 2018.
