Deep Dish (1991 - present)
The duo first met in
Washington, D.C. around 1991 when they were accidentally double-booked at a club. Soon after, they formed Deep Dish Records and their work captured the attention ofDanny Tenaglia and Tribal America Records, which put out the duo's first progressive-house compilation, Penetrate Deeper, in 1995. They have since released a number of mix CDs. However, what catapulted Deep Dish to prominence was the release of their debut album, Junk Science, released on the now defunct UK label DeConstruction and a dismal state side release through Arista Records. They also own and run dance music record labels "Deep Dish", "Yoshitoshi" Shinichi, and "Yo". In addition, they owned and operated a retail store (also named "Yoshitoshi") in the Georgetown area of D.C., which sold dance records and clothing. The store closed in 2003, although their labels continue to release music, mostly on the12 inch single vinyl format.olo (2006 - present)
In 2006, Sharam released "". The compilation was described as being "a double header CD that kicks the dust outta the dance with its skywards soars, desert storming dirtiness and seductive sensuality" by DJMAG. Sharam also mentioned that "Dubai makes you wish you were in the club enjoying it live". In 2006, Sharam also released "PATT (Party All the Time)." A stand out record in
Ibiza 's 2006 session which has been talked about during the whole year right after the 2006Winter Music Conference (WMC) orIDMA in Miami that Sharam's PATT made a great selection during the 2006 Christmas season on Data. It is true PATT was a huge anthem for 2006's Ibiza season and has been "front of box" for the world's DJ elite for several months. Now signed to Data from Deep Dish's Yoshitoshi label, it's being tipped as one of the biggest club records of 2006. To date,Pete Tong has played it 8 times on Radio 1 (and it became an "essential new tune"), withJo Whiley ,Sara Cox ,Judge Jules (Tried & Tested) and Dance Anthems also on board plus Judge Jules having played it twice on one show alone. Heavy support also comes fromKiss (Playlist) ,Capital , andXFM amongst others. It is a tribute to theEddie Murphy song, "Party All the Time ", produced byRick James which became a US hit back in 1985. Sharam, being a fan of the legendary comedian, originally put the track together for just himself to play. But after giving a few copies to friends and DJs who would give a great dance floor response, the track quickly took a life of its own and it shows all the hallmarks of a crossover hit. PATT itself is a peak time synth-driven track demonstrating once again that Sharam, like all great artists, refuses to be constrained by hype and genres.On
March 27 , at Miami'sWinter Music Conference , Sharam announced the pre-release party for his new album "Sidedish" due in July which will feature his last hit "The One". He also created a track withTommy Lee which they presented atMiami 'sCameo .
