Its less about money and more about him trying to fit in with the "underground" coolness of "minimal music."

OMG OMG A NEW MIX

That was a good read. Don't have anything against him - he's sort of a hit/miss with me. I've liked a few remixes and Rib Cage. He is very smart and I respect his honesty/integrity. Probably won't play his tracks though.

The impression I get is he got sick of the direction Deep Dish were going, however profitable it may be. If you look at what Sharam has done since they split, it was probably his influence.

However, I think Dubfire wanted to have his cake and eat it - he wanted to make more serious music, but he also wanted to make a fair amount of money from it, too.

what makes you think that? i mean regardless of which direction he went in, he would have been in demand as a dj by virtue of being half of deep dish. i just think that he was very prolific for a couple years because he had some ideas bouncing around in his head, as he said in the interview, and now he's taking it easy (or easier, anyway)

Give him flack but he has done more than any DJ here.

I don't hate the guy at all, I just think his music is boring.

Because it was such a change of direction from a deep house/progressive house career to suddenly make minimal white noise techno, which just happened to be the trendiest scene around when he did it. Believe me, I've seen Dubfire gigs advertised and he was packing them in. I doubt he'd get those slots if he were still making progressive house.

but if, as you said, sharam was the driving force behind deep dish's productions, who's to say that ali wasn't just going the way he wanted to go? i mean, it's awfully silly to make music you don't like just because you think it will draw in the cool kids/be profitable/get you laid/etc. ali seems like a genuine guy to me and i have absolutely nothing wrong with the direction he's taken since leaving deep dish

I only meant their last productions, the George Is On era.

His productions are for the most part functional, yet otherwise uninteresting.

based on your thinking, Sven Vath would be a trendhopper too? The freakin founder and pioneer of Cocoon? He has had alot more commercial career before cocoon than Deep Dish.
And if you guys even consider trivializing Sven than I literally have zero respect for your thoughts.
