Dealers of God are an Australian cloud rap and plunderphonics group, which formed in 2020.[1] They describe their sound as "ambient crunk",[2][3] which blends trip hop, ambient music, and neo-psychedelia.[4][5] The members perform pseudonymously centring on DJ Cheesewater, John City, Fuelgod, and Lil Meatus. They have issued four solo albums, Visions of Fuel (2021), Dealers Choice (2023), Flesh Bill Clinton Humanoid Skeleton (2024) and Bushranger (Act 1) (2026) as well as a collaborative album, Cult Subterranea (2025) with American musician Celestaphone.
History
Dealers of God were formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 2020.[5][6] Their members perform pseudonymously centring on DJ Cheesewater (a.k.a. Panda Rosa), John City, Fuelgod, and Lil Meatus.[1][4] Additional musicians contribute to performances/recordings, anonymously.[1][4] The band released its debut album, Visions of Fuel, on 1 January 2021.[1][3] Their second album, Dealer's Choice, was released on 1 January 2023.[7] A remastered and extended edition, Dealer's Choice: Director's Cut, followed on 1 January 2024, featuring remixes by DJ Rozwell and Exodia.[7] Their third album, Flesh Bill Clinton Humanoid Skeleton, was released 11 September 2024.[6]
On 20 April 2025, Dealers of God collaborated with American musician-producer Celestaphone on the album Cult Subterranea via Dismiss Yourself, which was described by The Needle Drop's Alex Peterson as the spiritual successor to the 1997 video game Drowned God.[8] On 23 January 2026, the group released Bushranger (Act 1), a concept album inspired by the lost script for The Death of the Larrikin by obscure Australian playwright, William R. Clay.[3][1]
Collaborations
Dealers of God have worked with English-American guitarist Liberty Ellman on the track "I've Smoked Something Terrifying".[3] In 2025 they released their single "Drivin' Down" with Australian singer‑songwriter Ben Lee.[1][9]
