TITLE: Get Wild
LABEL: EQ Recordings
ARTIST: Sharam
RELEASED: 11th December 2009

One of only a handful of electronic music producers that can move effortlessly between the nocturnal world of underground dance floors all the way to the crossover radio hits. Always unpredictable, SHARAM (known to many as one half of Grammy Award-winning DJ superduo Deep Dish) will never conform to anything other than his own high standards, so one can only help but to wonder what he’ll come up with next. On December 11, EQ RECORDINGS / STOMP will release GET WILD, his long- awaited debut studio album on which he sticks to his mantra that there should be no divisions within dance music. SHARAM's body of work features new material from different landscapes in dance music including collaborations with Daniel Bedingfield, P. Diddy, Tommy Lee and Kid Cudi.

Featuring his hits ‘P.A.T.T.’ and ‘She Came Along’ (featuring Kid Cudi), the album includes collaborations with Chuck D, P Diddy, Tommy Lee, Anousheh Khalili and Nic Fancuilli.

Following a decade long career as one half of Deep Dish, the most successful US dance duo ever, Sharam has become a global solo star. His childhood in Iran couldn’t have been more different.

Brought up without access to western culture before the revolution, Sharam was 10 years old when he first discovered western music following a clandestine showing of some US music
videos that, along with a Betamax recorder, a family member had smuggled into the country. Through these he learned about artists such as Michael Jackson, Boney M, and Queen, and first watched the movie film ‘Flashdance’.

America and Americana became his obsessions, and in a true ‘underground’ setting he would also watch spaghetti westerns whenever he had the opportunity. It was only a matter of time after his arrival in America that he would find his true calling – a producer and DJ with a knack for making the hookiest songs using his childhood influences. The latest of these is ‘Get Wild’; a homage of sorts to his heroes Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone.

Now based in Washington DC, Sharam’s profile rivals fellow dance stars such as David Guetta, Deadmau5, and Tiesto, though repeated chart and daytime radio success has never eclipsed his reputation for putting out anthemic underground dance bombs. For every hit like ‘P.A.T.T (Party All The Time)’, he’s released Beatport faves such as ‘Texi’, ‘Kill (Techno)’, and ‘Get Wild’, all heavily supported by the likes of Angello, Ingrosso, Luciano, Cox, to Morrilo, Guetta, and Tiesto. Few have been able to rattle both of sides of the musical fence
with such precision.

‘Get Wild’ consists of 20 songs spread over two CDs, entitled ‘WildDish’ and ‘SideDish’. Included are the current single, ‘She Came Along’, tipped to become one of the biggest dance hits of the year (She Came Along video clip has racked up close to 700,000 plays in 4 weeks on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs7SvZduz60 while also having featured on Kanye West blog), and his UK Top 10 hit ‘P.A.T.T.’ (featuring a new vocal by P Diddy) - the original spent 15 weeks in the UK Top 30 and achieved A-list rotation at every
major UK radio station.

Elsewhere the tracks include gems like ‘Get Wild’ (Essential Miami WMC Tune of 2008), the techno-infused summer anthem ‘Texi’, its darker sibling stormer ‘Crazi’, ‘Sweat’ with Tommy
Lee’s amazing piano wizardry, long-time Deep Dish collaborator Morel on ‘I Love The Way You’re Breaking My Heart’ and Anousheh Khalili - from Deep Dish’s hit singles ‘Say Hello’ and ‘Flashdance’ - who appears on ‘Don’t Say A Word’ and ‘Be The Change’
