Members Ali Shirazinia and Sharam Tayebi were both born in Iran, however didn’t cross paths until 1991 at a dance event in Washington, D.C. The pair were in similar boats, both immersed in the thriving local DJ scene and both performing menial retail jobs they hated. A year later the duo created the label Deep Dish Records and made their debut production with the 1992 single “A Feeling” by Moods.
In 1993 Shirazinia’s old school friend Brian Transeau recorded the singles “A Moment of Truth” and Relativity” and Deep Dish produced and released them on their label. It wasn’t long before the songs were making their mark on dancefloors across the country, and the release led to a connection with Detroit, U.S. producer Carl Craig increasing the duo’s street credibility. Then the pair hit the big time, Deep Dish began to rule the Washington D.C. house scene and they formed the sub-label Yoshitoshi and released material by Submarine, Satori, Alcatraz and Hani.
After signing with the new Tribal America subsidy of UK label Tribal Records, the pair made waves on the dance charts with productions including “High Frequency” and “Casa de X”. Deep Dish’s full length mix debut came in 1995, being the production hands on compilations for Tribal America.
1995 brought the duo’s commercial and mainstream breakthrough with a laundry-list of high-profile, well-received remixes including work for Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Janet Jackson, Pet Shop Boys, and Kristine W. Not content to sit on their thumbs and release only mix albums, Deep Dish made their original material debut “Junk Science” in 1998, followed by the mix albums “Yoshiesque”, “Renaissance Ibiza” and a second “Yoshieque” in 2001.
The duo earned a Grammy nomination for Remixer of the Year for their remix of Madonna’s single “Music” and Amber’s “Sexual (La Da Di)”. A year later their remix of Dido’s “Thank You” won them the award in 2002 and the same year they also won the Dancestar USA’s “Best Compilation” award for their “Global Underground: Moscow mix-CD”.
Deep Dish is a DJ group that consists of two DJs, Ali "Dubfire" Shirazinia and Sharam Tayebi. These individuals are Iranian-American and formed their group in Washington D.C.
Deep Dish was nominated for 2 Grammys, one for Madonna's "Music", and another for Dido's "Thank You." They won the Grammy for Best Remixed Recording for their remix of "Thank You". They released 2 albums through their duration, but they also released plenty of singles and remixes. They had four singles reach number one on the charts.
I got to watch Deep Dish perform live in 2014 at the Ice Palace in Miami, Florida. They performed at an indoor venue but the venue had a very large capacity, and the fans certainly filled the venue up. They did not have many props, and the visuals only included a bunch of bright flashing strobe lights. The music was really the reason everyone was there and it became very obvious once it started playing. The music was very dancy and it caused a lot of people to jump up and down and dance. I had a fantastic time at this concert and it seemed like everyone else who was there also enjoyed it. I would recommend this band to anyone who is in a dancing mood. If you attend a performance by Deep Dish you won't be alone when you start to dance!
