Based in Washington, D.C., they are well known for providing house or dance remixes of tracks of famous artists such as Madonna, Janet Jackson, Cher, Stevie Nicks and Gabrielle, and for its live DJ sets. Their collaborations and remixing abilities first came to attention with their seminal 1995 remix of De'Lacy's "Hideaway". Deep Dish's album Junk Science was released in 1998. The duo was nominated for a Grammy for their remix of Madonna's "Music", and won a Best Remixed Recording Grammy for their remix of Dido's "Thank You".[2] In 2006, the DJs disbanded and moved to solo careers. They regrouped in 2014, releasing a new single "Quincy".[3][4]

In August 2009, Sharam was featured on the Essential Mix and his mix was subsequently voted the best of 2009.[5]
