Global Underground 025: Toronto

Global Underground tied each release in its series to a city: a DJ act plays there, then builds a studio mix meant to bottle the night. Number 025 went to Deep Dish, the Washington DC duo of Dubfire and Sharam, fresh off a Grammy for remixing Dido. Their Toronto set is progressive house with actual songs in it, vocals and all, across two discs and more than two and a half hours, and it went to number one on Billboard's electronic albums chart. Few mix CDs from 2003 hold up this well.
