Deep Dish, the electronic music duo consisting of Ali “Dubfire” Shirazinia and Sharam Tayebi, bring their ten-year hiatus to an end with their announcement of two intimate London shows at The Cause on Saturday, December 7th, and Friday, December 20th, alongside new versions of two of their most beloved tracks, “Flashdance” and “Say Hello.”
As Deep Dish enter their next phase, they have returned to the studio for the first time in a decade to reimagine some of their classics, including “Flashdance” and “Say Hello.” Twenty years after its original release, two new versions of “Flashdance” have just dropped on Armada Music. Named after its vocal sample of Shandi Sinnamon’s 1983 hit “He’s a Dream” from the hit movie Flashdance, the track became one of Deep Dish’s biggest crossover successes, topping the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and peaking at #3 on the UK Singles Chart. Now, the Guitar Redux Remix and Deep Dish Does The Chug Remix both deliver a powerful dose of 2004 nostalgia with a contemporary twist.
Deep Dish said:
“It’s been really great to reunite with one another in the studio recently. We couldn’t be happier with the fresh revamps of ‘Flashdance’ and ‘Say Hello,’ which are the initial fruits of the very productive studio sessions we recently had in Los Angeles. Having spent the better part of nearly the past two decades developing and establishing our solo careers, we feel that it is now time to inject a newfound creativity into our collective style. These new updates, which were made with love and reverence for the original versions, also capture where our new sound is headed. We can’t wait to share this new music with you all.”
Alongside these new versions, Deep Dish will hold residencies this December in two key cities that have shaped the duo’s career: London and New York. These intimate, low-capacity shows will serve as a vehicle for the pair to test new ideas in an intimate setting with both old and new fans alike. Deep Dish added:
“We are very much looking forward to reuniting in the DJ booth for some special shows and limited residencies around the world over the next few months, where we will also be road-testing some of the new material we’ve quietly been working on.”
Deep Dish have also teamed up with Purple Wall for management and CAA agents Mac Clark, Roman Trystram, Julian Teixeira, Kal Jhugro, and Evan Greenberg, following the duo’s announcement of their partnership with Armada Music earlier this year to bring their critically acclaimed George Is On album back to DSPs and download portals worldwide. With management, agency, and label partners on board, Deep Dish have rounded out their team in full force as they embark on this next chapter.
Donal McCarthy, Artist Manager at Purple Wall, said:
“Firstly, I’m a fan. Deep Dish was and is one of my favorite artists. I now have the opportunity to be involved in the next evolution of their journey. This is a great honor for me, and I’m super excited about our next steps. We have some amazing plans, and I think it’s a perfect time musically for them to come back and show the world what they have been missing.”
