Global Underground 021: Moscow

Global Underground 021: Deep Dish, Moscow is a DJ mix album in the Global Underground series, compiled and mixed by Deep Dish in 2001. It is a retrospective of a set they played at Club XIII. The Compilation reached #8 Top Heatseekers, #13 Top Electronic Albums, #31 Independent Albums. 021 is also the area code of Tehran, where Sharam of Deep Dish was born. The back of the CD case states, "This CD is dedicated to all innocent people whose lives have been destroyed by extremists."

The mighty Deep Dish became the first ever DJ duo to mix a Global Underground CD with this outstanding album. Sharam and Dubfire were a natural choice for the series having carved out a formidable reputation for themselves via DJ sets, their Yoshitoshi label and remix work.

And just as they have so often done in those remixes, the boys give a succession of vocal cuts a suitably underground feel. Who would have thought Dido would make it onto a GU release?! Yet the dynamic tension between those vocal sensibilities and the brooding, driving electronica of their DJ sets makes this work one of their most celebrated.
