Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Following their success with 2005's George Is On, house duo Deep Dish (known individually as Sharam and Dubfire) set out to divide and conquer with individual mixes for UK label Global Underground. Sharam strikes first--and hard--with Dubai, a two-disc set that is likely to generate comparisons with GU's other epic releases such as Sasha's Ibiza (GU13). Disc one is the slow-burner here: Spider and Legaz's dub of "Look Around" funks things up with a vocoder-drenched synth line that could have been pulled off a Jeff Beck album before giving way to the druggy, cascading echoes of 16 Bit Lolitas' "Passing Lights." From the perspective of the second disc, the moody expanse of the first begins to look a lot like an elaborate launch sequence, as the infectious "Timewarp" merges into Cedric Gervais's "Spirit in My Life," which sends the whole business into orbit. Sharam has undoubtedly reached a new high here, with programming so organic it sometimes seems like the track list may have just dropped out of the sky. For those awaiting the next big Global Underground release, your time has come. --Brent Kallmer

Oh, I get it. Good music. Imagine that. - Reviewed on 2007-12-06
I own every frickin' GU that there is and I skipped this one when it was released because I didn't think I liked Deep Dish. I hated Toronto and I thought the after club discs were lame. I didn't trust Deep Dish and the change that their releases were bringing to the GU empire. But then I unexpectedly loved Dubfire in Taipei which I got just to give Deep Dish and GU one more chance. So, I decided to take a chance on Sharam, fully expecting to be dissapointed. well, the joke's on me because I think this disc is just fine. It's shiny, funky and not quite as ponderous as some ultra serious GU mixes can tend to be.I finally surrendered my expectations of what I thought a GU disc was 'supposed' to be and as I enjoyed this set, it dawned on me: GU releases GOOD MUSIC. It doesn't matter that trance is over. When trance was the big sound, they released the best trance mixes of all. Now, they're just releasing good dance music, whatever the style,cheese free. Some mixes are still trance-y,some aren't. Some releases are better than others, but they are all noble efforts by masters, including this one. Then, I went back to the older Deep Dish GU releases to make sure I didn't miss anything. I still didn't like Toronto much, but I realised that Sharam's Toronto after club sounded better to me than before. It was then that I fully realised what the term 'ahead of it's time' means. That disc was ahead of it's time. Wow. Now, I get it. And this release is right on time.
Don't be late.
