5.0 out of 5 stars
The future of House music, March 22, 2000
This review is from: Yoshiesque (Audio CD)
If you've never heard anything by Deep Dish before you really must buy this. If you have you've probably already got it. It's sheer quality all the way through, deep driving basslines, thumping beats but never getting too hard and always keeping a continous groove throughout. This is how house music is meant to sound, tough but funky and it's what Deep Dish do best. The mixing is faultless, the tunes are all classy but what really makes it a winner is the way Deep Dish structure it. It really is a "set" rather than a selection of tracks chucked together like some mix compilations and the more you listen to it the more it grows on you. To really appreciate it you have to listen to each CD in its entirity. I've had this since last summer when I bought it in Ibiza after seing Deep Dish play at Pacha, and I can honestly say it's the best CD I own. Everyone I've played it to has gone out and bought it and I've yet to find someone who's heard it and hasn't thought it's amazing. If you like quality house music this really is as good as it gets.

Adrenalin, poured over ice, January 19, 2001
This review is from: Yoshiesque (Audio CD)
I go for music that makes you feel like you're about to win a race, underground club tracks that make you burst with energy. The thing with Deep Dish's track selection and re-mixing is that it is so painfully cool. When you listen to this you just know they are in absolute control of what they are doing. The bass and rhythm is so very, very deep that you just want more, and it just keeps coming. Deep Dish take deep house, fast trance, cool techno and hard ambient and pour it into a nuclear device. The tracks are varied, aggressive, uplifting, broody, confident, hysterical, but through it all is that bass: it just keeps coming at you. At any point there could be detonation, but then you remember who is in the control room: Deep Dish know when to lower the the uranium rods and when to raise them. In Yoshiesque, Deep Dish deliver bursts of race adrenalin over and over again, yet the beat keeps you going and you never get tired. You could sprint a marathon and barely feel out of breath, the rhythm is that deep. This also means something else: that this is a brilliant underground floor compilation, but you don't have to dance to it. At 4 a.m. this is the Duracell battery you can use to add another two hours to your afterparty. This album is perennial. It will be recognised as the best of its kind for a long time to come. Buy it.

A new Benchmark for mix CDs., October 7, 1999
By A Customer
OK you're reading this so you're a fan of dance music. If you have any experience of DJ mixed compilation CDs, then you've probably picked up a duff title or two in your time. Not so with Dubfire and Sharam's latest offering. These guys are held in high esteem in the UK and Ireland for their ability to fill dancefloors while sticking to their own instantly recognisable brand of down and dirty house. When you hear tracks as diverse as Brother Brown's 'Under the Water' and Basco's Music With a Feel', you'll understand why. Both CD's are exceptionally well mixed and build from a nice slow tempo to the sort of tunes you'd like to be dancing to at home after a long night sweating it out on the dancefloor of your favourite house club. If this mix doesn't end up on best of '99 lists wherever it's heard, then I'll eat my keyboard. Deep by name, deep by nature. Don't think, just buy.
