Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Recorded in a Russian opera house on June 2, 2001, Deep Dish in Moscow is the latest in the highly successful Global Underground series which showcases house DJs (NickWarren, PaulOakenfold, John Digweed among others) playing their favourite sets in cities around the globe. On this double CD set the two American-Iranian brothers known as Deep Dish push their well known mixture of soulful garage and hard house to the limit, digging deep into the last six months' releases for future classics such as El Greco's tribal thumper "Nightwatch", the trancey John Digweed favourite "Foundation" and the brother's own unreleased remix of Dido's "Thank You". These sit alongside more commerical cuts from the likes of Fatboy Slim and Brian Transeau (BT), an early working partner with whom Ali "Dubfire" Shirazinia and Sharam Tayebi had a considerable falling out. Deep Dish are developing a Todd Terry-like trend to overuse their own work in their sets and mix CDs but their mixing is smooth without being dramatic and the only real disappointment is that there's no sense of this session being recorded in Moscow. Could have been anywhere really, apart from the fact that the CD cover shows the twosome wrapped up against the cold. Deep Dish really needed to release a set like this after remixes for Madonna and N*SYNC in order to reaffirm their club credibility--and they do it to great affect. --Jake Barnes

Compared to the lighter more melodic moods of Toronto, Deep Dish's first Global Underground mix Moscow was a bit of a murky tribal-a-thon. The main emphasis here is on dark beats and bass ... those used to the fare which the likes of Steve Lawler pump out will find themselves right at home here. The atmospheric opener from 16b and Deep Dish engineer Richard Morel quickly changes into minimal percussive led tracks, subtle synths before Shhh and John Creamer & Stephane K on Monday Waiting take us down that familar US tribal/prog sound that was so popular around the time of this mix. It works really well on the first disc, the blend of subtle synths and percussion led tracks doesn't get boring, and by the time you've hit the Deep Dish mixes of their Grammy winning Dido mix and the chart smash which was Rapture ... things are pumping along nicely. Plus you even get a secret outro of Morel's Cabaret with Dish and Morel having a wee chatter before it.
Its a shame that the 2nd disc kinda lets things down, it hardly features in my CD player at all. Where disc 1 kept a similar theme and mood, disc 2 tries to chop around the genres a bit more (not a bad thing, but it has to be done right). It starts off promising with some nice dubby breaks action before moving into the territory of Envy and Mara ... raved about at the time by the prog tribal fans, but for me, lacked spark in percussion and melodic synths over the top. The more dull prog sound. Autoporno RAMPS things up quite nicely though ( even if it IS a blatant rip of H-Foundations mix of Silicone Soul's Chic-o-laa and KC Flight's Voices ;) ) and the firing bass of I Feel Stereo was a 'must have' track for Yoshitoshi fans everywhere. The rug is pulled from under your feet a bit though when Marcus Shultz's take on Fatboy Slim's Bird Of Prey chills things out completely ... a bit TOO much of a sudden stop for my liking. Plus, although starting nicely, this and the following Shultz remix of Luzon aren't some of his more inspired moments. ALMOST hitting the right buttons. The 16b mix of Creamer & K's I Wish You Were Here is a classic, but for my money, the latter half of the CD seems to be full of tracks that just don't go anywhere. Not really the climax you're looking for. Compare it to the EXCELLENT ending of Toronto with the electro inspired Youngers and prog house spine tingler Nothing from Holden & Thompson.
Don't get me wrong, for me this is 75% bliss, and its probably because I'm a Dish fan that I can be overcritical, but for my money there are FAR better Deep Dish mixes out there to buy. GU Toronto, Yoshiesque 1, Renaissance Ibiza. But if you've found yourself liking the world of Deep Dish house and you've got the rest, you won't be disappointed with this.
If you really do like the Deep Dish sound, do make sure you check the In House We Trust series, its about to enter its 4th volume and represents the best talent from Deep Dish's Yoshitoshi, Shinichi, DDR and YO! record labels.

For once the second CD is actually infinitely superior, or in this case beyond words...It's progressive just the way I love it - with just the right amount of vocals and a kicking beat which helps get me through my day at work ;-) A perfect compilation

These boys very rarely dispappoint. A superb mix of deep percussive soulful progression from Deep Dish. Fantastic live and their CD mixes also exude quality. A darker and tougher mix than the more diverse Yoshiesque 2, but top quality without doubt! Global Underground keep the quality rolling!!

vocal-progressive from the Deep Dish duo
This proves to be a tweener release, not quite in line with what Deep Dish fans or the Global faithful may have expected. Read more

One of the best in the GU series
Just listened to this yesterday and I have to say this is VERY GOOD. Ive heard a few other GU's such as Paul Oakenfold's, Sasha's and Dave Clarke but this just tops them. Read more
