Penetrate Deeper (Re-release, Various Artists)
Bureaucracy is one of Washington's greatest exports.  Deep Dish is another, two young men who cut through the red tape and mediocrity of the underground with the sharpest of knives.  Before Deep Dish became world-wide dance music sensations, before the main stream recognition that has garnered them a Grammy Award and more, and even before they gave birth to their world renowned record label Yoshitoshi, Deep Dish were working hard to stake their claim in the world of dance music.Penetrate Deeper represents the early days of Deep Dish and the then fledgling Deep Dish Records.  The now classic compilation features the first four original Deep Dish Records releases ("A Feeling", "The Moment of Truth", "Relativity", and "Lonely Winter") along side the pivotal Quench and Special remix of Naomi Daniel's "Feel the Fire," produced for their long-time mate, Detroit's Carl Craig.Two additional compositions complete the picture – the lush, orchestrated Elastic Reality, and "The Dream" by Prana – the apex of Deep Dish's career at that point.After listening to these works, it becomes clear that, even at that early stage in their career, Dubfire and Sharam had tapped into a chemistry and bond that is greater than the sum of its parts.
