Sharam’s new single ‘Our Love’ is now available exclusively on Beatport!

Check out these previews below and stay posted for the release of new mixes in the coming weeks.

Sharam feat Anousheh – Our Love [Promo Edit] by Sharam

Sharam feat Anousheh – Our Love (Dub Mix) [Promo Edit] by Sharam

Press Release:

Grammy Award winning producer/DJ Sharam returns with his new single “Our Love;” released on the world renowned Yoshitoshi Recordings. “Our Love” is a fantastic return for a producer known for making pure magic when uniting a storming instrumental dance track with the perfect vocals. The voice of “Our Love” comes from Iranian-American singer/ songwriter Anousheh Khalili who’s best known for her appearance on Deep Dish’s “Flashdance” and “Say Hello,” which was nominated for a Grammy in 2006 in the Best Dance Recording category. On “Our Love,” Sharam balances an uplifting piano and throbbing basslines with Anousheh’s gorgeous vocal right over the top. It’s a wonderful send-off to 2011 and a sign of great things to come from Sharam in 2012.

“I’m a firm believer in innovation in music and work hard to try new things and not to repeat myself. That may result in a song taking longer than I’d like to become final, but that’s sometimes what it takes to perfect a song that I believe in so much. So without further ado I’m happy to present “Our Love” featuring the beautiful and haunting vocals of Anousheh,” Sharam Says “Our Love” comes on the heels of Sharam’s first mixed CD compilation in nearly five years – “Sharam Live at Warung Beach Brasil.” Recorded live at Warung, Brazil’s electronic ‘music temple’ this three-hour genre-bending set stands as a testament to Sharam’s dedication to educating while entertaining the masses without any musical limitations. Not only was his head- turning 10-hour set a hit at Warung breaking the club’s all time attendance record, the set also
formed the basis of a prestigious Essential Mix in May 2011 on BBC Radio 1, with Pete Tong describing Sharam as being “on devastating form.” “Sharam Live at Warung Beach Brasil” is out now. Buy it now from Beatport and iTunes.

5. LIV –MIAMI, USA

Imagine if you combined all the clubs above in
to one and then added 100 lbs of posh on top. It’s the super model of all clubs. It’s the only VIP club that can instantly morph into a gritty and dirty underground club. It’s totally up to the DJ where you want to take the crowd. It’s like you have a Porsche Panamera at your disposal; it can be a head-turner luxury saloon in true South-Beach style in one minute, and it can become the baddest beast on the road racing passed you like a high end sports car – you the driver can make the choice and LIV the club will deliver it in an instant. But you better be a good driver because at speeds that high with one wrong move you might crash and burn.

4. DISTRICT 36 – NY, USA

I’ve only done two shows at this new club and I can tell you that I have found my new home in NYC. Great DJ booth set up, proper sound system, and a dark dance floor – which is how I like it. They have the perfect balance of gritty dancefloor space and VIP where both type of the main focus is the DJ and the music.

3. AVALON – LA, USA

Probably one of the last super clubs in the US, especially on the West Coast. Just like Warung and Beta, they provide a playground for all kinds of DJs to do their thing with a varied crowd from night to night. It’s one of the last places in the US that I get to play a long set with total freedom and take people on a musical ride in full control. LA in general has a very educated crowd and I believe the roots of it is veteran promoters like Dave Dean and Kobe working so closely with Avalon over the years to bring the best the world has to offer – again with a balance of business vs. creating a playground to educate the crowd by bringing diverse acts. I’ve had some of my best experiences as a DJ at Avalon playing until 8-9 in the morning with the crowd still in tow. That’s a hard feat anywhere in the world, especially in America. They are another club that are constantly looking to evolve.

2. BETA – DENVER, US

Some clubs get it and some don’t. I happened to do the grand opening for Beta a few years back and they still had a lot of kinks to work out on the opening as most new clubs do, but w hat set them apart was their instant dedication to wanting to know what DJs liked and didn’t like about their new club and actually listening to them and making those changes. Beta stands as one of the clubs in the world that I really look forward to playing at. Fantastic sound system, properly placed DJ booth and a dancefloor suited to interacting with the crowd, and most importantly, an educated crowd. Cities/clubs don’t end up having educated crowds on their own. There is usually a catalyst and in Denver, it’s Beta and the team behind it. They understand the balance of wanting to have a financially successful club and making sure they continually bring all kinds of acts from different corners of dance music for the betterment and growth of electronic music.

1. WARUNG – ITAJAÍ, BRAZIL

People often ask, what is your favorite club/the best place to play? My answer is always the same; any place with a great sound system, capable promoters, a proper setup for the DJ, and an engaged crowd. If there is one club that gets it right 100% of the time, it’s Warung in Brazil. Factor in the location of the club, set amidst a huge beachfront nature preserve and it’s patrons, who happen to be amongst the world’s most beautiful and enthusiastic, and you end up with a clubbing utopia for DJs and fans, the likes of which are rare. I would be surprised if it weren’t the first choice for countless other DJs who’ve had the pleasure of playing there. Playing at Warung makes me want to experiment with music and be the best DJ that I can be. The connection with the crowd along with the feeling you get after playing a ten-hour set is pure perfection and the crowd always makes you feel like the feeling is mutual.

TVD got in touch with the Grammy award-winning artist via email this week as he was performing in Brazil. We discussed his DJ career, his love of DC, and the recent influence of muscle cars on his latest releases.

How long have you been DJing? What are some of the more memorable moments from early in your DJing career?

I’ve been DJing as long as I can remember. I used to cut cassette tapes together with a double deck player and a Walkman as a kid in Iran, then we moved to the US and I discovered the whole vinyl and mixer thing, and I’ve been DJing ever since. At first we were throwing school parties just so that I could get a chance to DJ and play my records for a live audience. I was then able to secure random gigs here and there, which made me very happy.

My best memory was dropping Lil Louis “French Kiss” at a Rock & Roll/R&B club called Quicksilver where I had to drop Guns N Roses next to Levert and Guy and stuff like that. I had just gotten a copy of it before the record became huge and was very excited to play it. So when I dropped it, the entire club stopped and looked at me in shock. They didn’t know what to do. Everyone then left the dance floor, and of course they never called me back for another gig. This became a regular thing with me for a while.

Sharam | Fun (FTDK Radio Mix)

How interactive is your recording process when you work with big name artists like Kid Cudi and Chris Martin of Coldplay? Do you go into the studio together, or do you exchange mixes/lyrics/beats digitally?

Usually everything I do starts from an idea or inspiration. Once I feel good about it, I circulate it to whomever. I prefer not have too much interaction with the people I’m collaborating with at first.

1. I get star struck and can’t concentrate if they’re too big.
2. I feel like I need to be able to think without having to worry about what others think of what I’m planning—I know the end result in my head, but not everyone sees that, so I keep the process to myself until I’m done as the project takes on many shapes and forms before it’s done. That’s how I can be most creative.

Your music crosses over into a lot of different genres, but with which one do you feel most comfortable? Do you have a stand-by that you always enjoy mixing and playing?

I have a very varied range of influences, so I can get with all kinds of music, and I experiment a lot with combining different genres and pushing things to achieve something new—as a DJ and as a producer. For me, DJing and producing go hand in hand. Behind the decks with an audience in front of me is where I fine-tune my projects and come up with changes and different ideas. They both are integral parts of my process.

Do you mix digitally or with real vinyl, or both? Why do you prefer the method that you use?

Of course, like many DJs, I was a huge vinyl junkie. But over the years as technology progressed, it became easier to carry your music on CDs and then on your laptop via Traktor. My back feels a lot better as I don’t have to carry those heavy vinyl cases with me all over the world so that’s a huge plus, but I really miss the days where you HAD to be selective with your record box and could only take music that you knew you wanted to play—there was only so much room.

It was impossible to take more than two crates half way across the world so you constantly “cleaned” and “updated” your inbox per se. Now you get to carry everything with you all the time, which is great in its own sense, but it means you have to have a memory of an elephant to remember songs by name (rather than by looking at a vinyl label and knowing instantly what it was and what it stood for).

Sharam | Sharam’s Wildcast #48

Talk about working with Deep Dish. How does the music of Deep Dish differ from that of your solo work?

With Deep Dish there was always a ying to a yang. You always have that other person that you trust, to give you feedback or to take over the project when you get stuck. Being solo, you have to be your own motivator and your own critic. When things work out, it’s great, but when you get stuck, it can be frustrating. Overall, the process for me is always the same. Just stick to what is inspiring you, no matter how you come across it, and be as educated as possible with the music that’s currently out there—making a dent.

What first brought you to Washington DC? What do you like about DC?

Family. I’ve always loved DC. Although I spend alot of time outside of DC, I will always call DC home and can’t imagine being anywhere else for long periods of time.

You travel all over the world for DJ sets and performances; what makes you keep DC as your home base, instead of somewhere else?

Family, friends, and the fact that I can escape.

What is your favorite venue to perform at in DC? Your favorite record store to buy new vinyl?

I like playing at Lima, and this week I’m going to play at Josephine for the first time. My good friend Pete Kalamoutsos and his partner Antonis have done an amazing job over the years promoting music in the DC area, and these clubs, along with Glow at Fur, are the fruits of their relentless labor.

As for vinyl, we had our own vinyl shop for a few years in Georgetown called Yoshitoshi Shop. I still have a huge record collection, but I can’t say that I buy vinyl regularly anymore. Growing up, 12″ Dance Records in Dupont Circle was my mecca for finding Vinyl. Later on it was Vinyl Mania in New York. I really miss going to a record store and getting lost in it.

Tell me about what you like about muscle cars. Why are they the inspiration for your latest release?

They just look so damned bad ass! And they were made to go fast and last long. As a kid I was always fascinated with cars, ‘specially American cars. My favorite car as a kid was 1971 Camaro SS; I’m still looking for one in great condition.

I like to connect my music projects to a concept, and cars was one of those concepts, so I wanted to create a world within a world—and for the upcoming album it’s muscle cars. My previous album Get Wild was about Spaghetti Westerns and the soundtracks to those classic Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda movies. I just like to keep things fresh for myself. I tend to get bored very easily.

Sharam | Live at Warung Beach Club (Promo Mix)

What else is coming up for you?

My first compilation album in five years came out a couple of weeks ago. It’s a live recording that was done in Brazil at one of the most amazing clubs in the world called Warung Beach Club. The album is a true representation of my DJing style—over a very long set.

Nowadays with how Electronic Music has evolved at clubs, people are used to the DJ playing hit after hit after hit—creating a Music ADD Nation. DJs (big and small) are afraid if they don’t do that, then people won’t respond. Then you have the opposite side where everything is underground and people go for the journey. I’m in the middle of that. I like to take people on a long journey, but I also like to throw in some vocal flavors in the middle.

So on this [album], people can experience that and relive what took place at Warung in Brazil. We put three hours of the set (from a ten hour set) into this album. It includes some new cuts that I have done recently as well as a lot of new releases from Yoshitoshi and many of my favorite tracks that I’m still playing. I’m very proud of it. So I will be promoting that in the next few months until my new artist album Speed is ready for release.

After a bountiful career with the pioneering duo Deep Dish, Grammy Award winner Sharam took the reigns as a solo artist, becoming one of the very few producer/DJs who can effortlessly navigate from the nocturnal world of underground dance, to cross-over success with a string of both underground and international chart topping hits. Like his productions, Sharam has developed a reputation for putting together genre bending DJ sets representing the best the dance music scene has to offer.

His relentless pursuit of quality music without prejudice earned him the coveted Essential Mix of The Year in 2009. For his 2011 Essential Mix, Sharam is featuring a live recording from his recent 9 hour marathon set at a sold out show at Warung Club in Brazil — hailed by many DJs as one of the best clubs in the world (see pictures above and below). In this two-hour sampler Sharam seamlessly mixes his favorite cuts with his latest productions, remixes, and soon-to-be-released tracks from his label, Yoshitoshi.

On April 19th, Washington D.C. based label, Yoshitoshi release ‘Fun: The Remixes’ by Grammy award–winning DJ/Producer, Sharam. Written by Coldplay’s, Chris Martin and featuring Anousheh on vocals, Sharam has already masterfully arranged, recorded and produced ‘Fun’ into a huge dance floor anthem, set to define this summer’s soundtrack. Now has come the time for the remix package, a perfect complement to the original’s success.

Chris Martin described ‘Fun’ as ‘the best Coldplay song of all time’, however, due to the timing of its writing, it seemed destined never to get the exposure it deserved. Step up Sharam! After discovering the track randomly – not even knowing who’s writing skills were behind the tune – Sharam immediately recognized it’s potential, applying his legendary studio skills and emerging with a truly anthemic tune. With his unique ear for dance floors, Sharam perfectly blended the emotive lyrical content and melody (superbly delivered by vocalist Anousheh) with a quality house groove, creating a stunning new sound. “When I found out the song was actually written by Chris Martin I immediately had an ‘ahhh, that makes sense!!’ moment and was thrilled about the position I found myself in – an opportunity of a lifetime to be involved with such a magical song” said Sharam.

As part of the legendary US production/DJ duo Deep Dish, Sharam was an early pioneer of fusing rock n’ roll and dance music genres, leading to massive success in both the commercial and more underground dance music scenes. As a solo artist, Sharam remains in an elite group having enjoyed global success, both on the charts with tracks like ‘P.A.T.T. (Party All The Time)’ – another Top 10 Hit, and with gems like ‘Texi’ hailed as one of the top Ibiza records by the likes of Carl Cox. So, it came as no surprise when Coldplay gave official approval for Sharam’s version of ‘Fun’.

Since it’s release ‘Fun’ has hit #1 on the Cool Cuts chart, #1 on the DMC Buzz chart and enjoyed huge radio support, including numerous plays on Pete Tong’s Essential mix. With a video on the way (co-directed by Sharam himself under his Sergio Tayebi moniker) and crossover daytime radio beckoning, ‘Fun’ seems certain to deliver yet another smash for both Sharam and Yoshitoshi.
