Armada Music partners with Deep Dish to bring dance hits back to streaming and download services

Armada Music has formed a partnership with electronic music duo Deep Dish, Music Week can reveal. 

The agreement will see the independent dance giant managing a portion of Deep Dish’s catalogue, namely their 2005 album George Is On. As a result, the album will be back on DSPs and download portals worldwide (from Friday, July 19) for the first time in several years.

US duo Deep Dish, consisting of Ali "Dubfire" Shirazinia and Sharam Tayebi, have been active in electronic music since the early 1990s. The pair won a Grammy for their remix of Dido’s Thank You.

This strategic collaboration between Armada Music and Deep Dish will aim to reintroduce George Is On to a new generation of listeners. The album includes tracks such as Flashdance, which peaked at No.3 in the UK, and Say Hello, which reached No.1 on the US dance chart.

Leading the charge in reintroducing Deep Dish’s music to the world is Jason Ellis, global senior A&R director at Armada Music, who was formerly Deep Dish’s A&R and maintains a deep connection with the duo. 

“This album has a special place in our hearts and in electronic music history”

"We are ecstatic to partner with Deep Dish and bring George Is On back to digital platforms," said Maykel Piron, CEO of Armada Music Group. "This album has a special place in our hearts and in electronic music history. There’s no better person than Jason to usher in this moment for Deep Dish, and we’re thrilled to make George Is On accessible to both long-time fans and new listeners."

“We’re so excited to reunite with Jason and team up with our longtime friends at Armada Music to finally get our defining album back on digital platforms,” said Ali "Dubfire" Shirazinia and Sharam Tayebi of Deep Dish in a statement. “George Is On is such a core part of the Deep Dish DNA, and we hope it sparks nostalgia for longtime fans while also reaching new listeners."

The reissue of George Is On sees the original 14-track album supplemented with nine extended bonus tracks, five of which were previously available only on vinyl. 

Alongside that will be newly packaged EPs of the album’s four singles – Flashdance, Say Hello, Dreams (feat. Stevie Nicks) and Sacramento – including all the original versions and remixes from the likes of David Guetta, Axwell and Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso.

Sharam Celebrates 15th Anniversary Of ‘Get Wild’ On His Yoshitoshi Label With Huge Remix Ahead Of New Album

It’s very much a time for milestones at Yoshitoshi and label boss, Sharam. Following on from his recent 25th anniversary update of Eddie Amador’s seminal ‘House Music’, the renowned DJ and producer now turns full auteur to provide a remix of his own ‘Get Wild’ as it too marks a birthday; albeit in this case, a slightly younger 15!

‘Get Wild’ was the lead single from Sharam’s first solo album of the same name that went on to global success that went beyond his expectations. “I‘ve got a lot to thank ‘Get Wild’ for,” he explains, “I went into the studio with the intention of just doing one track, but as a lead single it lead me down a creative rabbit hole and before I knew it a whole concept album was born off the back of it. This ‘1.5 remix’ is my contemporary way of saying a big, musical thank you.”

So, ignoring any self-imposed pressure, although keen to ensure the update did the original justice, Sharam returned to his mixing desk inspired with the very best intentions and the result is there for all to hear. He once again pulls off a magic balancing-act, integrating Mario Vazquez’ memorable vocal with a little bit of everything from tech to techno with roaring reese drops that’s become synonymous with his productions. “The original was huge when it came out and was played by all types of DJs, so I wanted to build on that with something equally universal to reintroduce the record to a new generation of music enthusiasts. It’s quite raw and gritty. That’s where my head is at right now”

Re-presenting ‘Get Wild’ now makes for a fitting, perfectly-timed circle. What was Sharam’s first solo single and album post Deep Dish also marks the lead into the exciting announcement of his next LP, with the first single set to drop this Spring. Stay tuned…
