Deep Dish were one of the first American dance acts to achieve mainstream recognition while keeping their feet planted in nightlife. They earned a Grammy nomination in 2001 for Remixer of the Year and won the following year (when the category was renamed to Best Remixed Recording) with their version of Dido’s hit, “Thank You.” Between 2000 an 2006 they were consistently ranked towards the top of DJ polls and were able to command top dollar for gigs, competitive with Armin van Buuren and Tiësto.
Despite such acclaim and remaining in high demand as a DJ act until their hiatus, the intensity of the partnership between Sharam and Dubfire ultimately deteriorated. Rarely seen together on tour (or even during Winter Music Conference in Miami), it was widely rumored that the two lifetime friends were now at odds. When they disbanded, each DJ pursued markedly different musical paths: Dubfire immersed himself in minimal techno while Sharam opted for house and progressive.
It’s been a long seven years without Deep Dish. Since going on “hiatus” in 2006, both Dubfire and Sharam have had flourishing solo careers, but fans of the legendary duo have held out hope for a reunion ever since.
Here a tiny teaser of their brand new single ‘Quincy’, it will be released on March 31st.
“Quincy” is set to receive its first play on Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1 show on Friday, February 14th!
Their first appearance together again will be on March 29th in the U.S, but you can catch Dubfire at Future Music Festival in early March, along with on the bill of a special Sven Vath pre-Future party, along with Maya Jane Coles and Guy Gerber.
Anyway we are damn excited about this reunion, more
