Sharam unveils his sophomore LP, Retroactive, seven years after the release of his debut album Get Wild One half of the legendary dance duo Deep Dish, Sharam's new solo album continues to tell his story through a retrospective look at his influences, going back to the days when he first discovered his love for dance music in the underground club scene of Washington DC. Retroactive, a collection of tracks that Sharam has held back waiting to release as a cohesive concept, revisits his roots, moving from early 80's Giorgio Moroder-inspired disco to futuristic and dark clubby cuts with bass heavy sounds. Moroder himself features on the heavily synthesised 'Crazi Flute', and other standout tracks include the old-school opener 'Arpi'; 'Over You', which borrows from the thickly-vocoded productions of the late 70's; 'The Photograph', a 14-minute collaboration with Alex Neri; and 'Here Comes The Rain Again', a cover of the iconic 80's Eurythmics record, transformed into a dancefloor dubplate. "I never want my records to sound like anyone else's, and at the same time I never want two of my own tracks to sound the same," Sharam explains. "Every track is its own adventure, like an individual ride in a theme park. Each ride has to stand on its own, but come together as one cohesive unit in the context of the theme park. In this case the theme park is a warehouse, filled with hypnotic rides and emotional rollercoasters, and I've retroactively gone back to all those rides and influences".
