His tunes and reworkings have been heard across the world on John Digweed's Bedrock Breaks imprint and Deep Dish's Yoshitoshi label, but Canadian DJ Sultan is most known for his legal mash of the latter DJ duo's sweet vocal club banger "Flashdance" and Dire Straits' unforgettable '80s pop hit, "Money For Nothing." Definitely riding on Deep Dish's sellable vibe of Middle Eastern mystery, Sultan represents a next-wave of dance DJs ready to take over when his predecessors finally retreat from the club.
From the desert heat of his country of origin to the winter rigours of Canada, Sultan has travelled a road quite out of the ordinary. In the past few years Sultan has established himself as one of the most innovative and respectable djs and producers in the electronic dance scene.
Sultan has had releases on various labels including Deep Dish’s Yoshitoshi label and John Digweed's Bedrock Breaks Label, as well as several compilations appearances including “Global Underground 25: Toronto” mixed by Deep Dish, Tiesto’s “In Search of Sunrise 4”, Dave Seaman’s “Renaissance Masters”, Deep Dish’s “George Is On” which features “Deep Dish vs Dire Straits – Flashing for Money”(Sultan Club/Radio Mix), hailed as being the worlds first ever legally cleared mash up/remix garnering praise from the electronic dance scene as well as rock legends Dire Straits. And most recently “Global Underground 29: Dubai” mixed By Sharam which features three tracks including Sultan & Ned Shepard’s latest release “Connected” and the upcoming highly anticipated single “Together We Rise” on Shinichi Records.
In September of 2006 Sultan joined world class Dj agency, Bullitt Bookings. Having toured cities across the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa over the past two years, Sultan has made his mark as one of the most exciting and technically sound performers in the DJ scene today.
In early 2007, Sultan began working closely with good friend Nadia Ali (Former singer of IIO). The two, alongside Ned Shepard, spent the month of January co-writing and co-producing songs for Nadia Ali’s forthcoming solo Album to be released later this year. Recently both Sultan and Ned Shepard have joined Nadia on tour with Sultan playing guitars and Ned playing keyboards for her Live Show.
Keep an eye out for Sultan’s new Monthly Radio show “Connected Live” on DI.fm and his forthcoming compilation on Yoshitoshi “Yoshitoshi: Montreal” due out September 2007.
