GU029
''Global Underground 029: Sharam, Dubai'' is a DJ mix album in the Global Underground series, compiled and mixed by Iranian-American DJ and producer Sharam Tayebi of the house music duo Deep Dish. As darlings of the GU faithful, Deep Dish could do no wrong, so Sharam’s solo return to the label was greeted with much joy. As an exercise in pointing out how his and Dubfire’s tastes differ – and what they each brought to the celebrated DD partnership – this double CD can be held up against Dubfire’s later GU031 for a fascinating insight. Sharam isn’t afraid of vocals and occasional pop sensibilities, but remains true to the underground spirit of the series with a flawless mix. His choice of the latest clubbing frontier - the fast rising Gulf city of Dubai - sits well with his own personal new era. Bold new music for the glitzy new metropolis.

Progressive House
Progressive house is a subgenre of house music. The progressive house style emerged in the early 1990s. It initially developed in the United Kingdom as a natural progression of American and European house music of the late 1980s.Gerard, Morgan; Sidnell, Jack. ''Popular Music and Society'' 24.3 (Fall 2000): 21–39. Etymology In the context of popular music the word "progressive" was first used widely in the 1970s to differentiate experimental forms of rock music from mainstream styles. Such music attempted to explore alternate approaches to rock music production. Some acts also attempted to elevate the aesthetic values of rock music by incorporating features associated with classical instrumental music. This led to a style of music called progressive rock, which has been described as "the most self-consciously arty branch of rock." In disco music, and later house music, a similar desire to separate more exploratory styles from standard approaches saw DJs and producers adop ...
