Hasbeen Deejays 004 - Deep Dish

Right, had to get this one out, its more fun than Ferry

Hasbeen Deejays 004 - Deep Dish(When Soul left House Music)

People ask where has the soul gone for house music? The answer it got flushed down the toilet with the parting of Deep Dish.

Deep Dish were at one point, one of the greatest duos of all time. Their sets included the brilliant likes of Richard Morel, who gave us the faggot is you. You add it Behrouz/Sultan/Tone Depth among others. They gave us the amazing Yoshiesque 1 and 2 among Global Underground 021 - Moscow and Global Underground 025 - All 4 Discs. You also had Renaissance:Ibiza as well and it was amazing. Always forward thinking and playing stuff that got you going.

After 2005, it all went Pete Tong. They decided to go on their separate ways and the toilet lever had been pushed and the water started to go down the crapper and they went shite. Dubfire was ok in the beginning with some mix of techno/house/tribal which was ok. You saw the beginning of the downfall with Global Underground 031 - Taipei. He was going in the direction of Richie Hawtin but it took another year for that to happen. You saw the boring nature of Dubfire in 2007 with the Hawtin/Dubfire EM mix from that castle event with boring boring techno....no soul remember because he left that with Deep Dish. He said it was a very difficult setup......

Sharam was decent after he went but he left his soul in Deep Dish as well. His excellent Global Underground 029 - Dubai showed that he had picked some big tracks among some real corkers. Since then, he has gone a bit wayward, too busy playing the progressive plonk and techno that others are playing. None of his tracks have the soul that Deep Dish had.

According to Mallam, they got into a fight at some point....probably over playing boring techno.

So as sad as this sounds but I have to add Deep Dish (Sharam and Dubfire) to the hall of hasbeens. Maybe they will smarten up and go back to the real Deep Dish and bring the soul back to house music

this is exactly as it was. can't stop repeating: GU 021 Moscow has literally changed my life. together with 25th: Toronto. if it wasn't for the music - i don't know what i'd do. girl... in the small street cafe. driving to heaven. and about 30-40 more tracks, all 1 to 1 - deep true real house music. this is house music.. just thinking of those days, the better days, shivers run up my spine.. so sad.. so fucking sad...

last year Deep Dish (as in "before 2005") have finished 3rd in the top200 djs last year that we do.. 3rd in 2011, 2nd in 2010 and 2009... years after the break up they still live in our souls.. i think this was also the time i have switched from house to progressive house (and tribal house has always been there)...

I saw tiesto the week before Deep Dish did GU025 on Dec 14th.2002 but I fell violently ill with the stomach flu and just about ended up in the hospital. I was going to go anyway but I could not get out of bed....shame....

It is like I said....Deep Dish did a lot for people's music tastes. One was Deep Dish's Loves Their Mother Mix of Dusted aka Rollo - Always Remember to Honor and Respect Your Mother....such a brilliant track and mix.

I expected better responses.

to be honest, i did too... maybe people haven't seen it yet...

For me mate, they lost after their George is on CD... they did an essnetial mix in 2002 or 2004 ish and was awesome, heard Dubfire at WMC last year was Mallam and it wasn't anything special!!!

I was too young to listen to deep dish , if i heard stuff from the duo i dont think i would have known

but i know my bro really liked them. but hey it was a long time ago

They claim the split was they hit the end of the creative cycle in 2008. Its fucking bullshit because the idiots just wanted more fame and money. As per Behrouz, the germans got one of them and the other went for fame and money. I wish they both smartened the fuck up, Dubfire quit the boring Richie Hawtin bullshit and Sharam went back to quality shit and they reformed and went back to 2000-2003 era...ah bless...Morel, Tenaglia, Behrouz, Sultan, Vezina, Tone Depth would be very happy and produce great shit again!.

Like slash gu 021 was a master piece and still is for me! It is an epic album. I still like Sharams work to this day but have never been into dubfires music since the split. Yes thinking back as a duo they remixed some wicked stuff, tracks that spring to mind are dire straits - money for nothing, I lost a girl to cocaine....

How big was their track "flashdance" that track rocked the airwaves here in Australia for a long time!

Dusted - Always Remember to Honor and respect your mother (deep dish loves their mutha mix)

Flashdance had a nasty bassline

The best stuff they did was easily putting mixes together. GU025 had the fake wind noises....

They did the Deep Dish Gladiator Mix of Delerium - Innocente, which was fantastic.

They did the brilliant deep dish mix of PvD - The Other Side (Deep Dish Mix)

It sounded so effortless when they mixed up things, just like Sander Kleinenberg before 2004. Plus they pushed a unique bunch of artists (which were released on their label) BUT they were almost releasing tracks as exclusively for deep dish sets.

Then according to them, they hit the end of their creative cycle in 2008. Sharam went money hungry and fame hungry and the Germans stole Dubfire.

Such creative geniuses and truly the duo could not last forever. That is true but the way they went was horrific....how the best have fallen...hence hasbeens

i really can't stop whining about how good they were.. truly the biggest loss for the edm scene...

maybe, Andy, you gotta write books, man. the phrase of "house music losing the soul since dd breakup" - is like the true meaning of life.. it's true and it's real. if not books, then, probably, some essays or whatever, maybe try DJ magazines with this idea, i would bet some of them would publish the article.

i bet the press dont give a shit for the masses what are thinking about their heroes and the way they betray em and left the underground and go for the money etc. i still cant get enough of the renaissance ibiza they did before gu21 and its the 1 got me into their stuff...ah, good old days, underground progressive ruled the world back then, not that today we dont have underground nor progressive but the times changes and we are not the same, and the media says us the crapy commercial stuff is the best..you know, that sort of things, not direct but step by step how only they can...uff, im going to celebrate my daughter bday with some crapy cheesy shit, see u l8r
