Traces of trance's trippy trails can be found on Deep Dish's mix CD Yoshiesque, albeit slowed down to a more manageable BPM. The Washington, D.C.-based duo Ali "Dubfire" Shirazinia and Sharam Yayebi display their distinctive sound (an odd amalgamation of trance, techno, and poppy house that is truly weird) on this two-disc set, featuring tracks from artists as diverse as Underworld (Rob Rives and Francois Kevorkian mix), Lo Fidelity Allstars, and N'Dea Davenport. Hints of the duo's early collaborations with epic house producer BT, a.k.a. Brian Transeau, are many--tracks extend themselves, stretching out their symphonic limbs over bumpy bass lines and pleasant, willowy vocals. But the key to Deep Dish is their overriding funky feel--something that is often sterilized out of typical trance or mainstream house. --Tricia Romano
