Ali Shirazinia is an electronic music producer and techno house DJ who has been operating under the moniker Dubfire since 1991. Known as one-half of the Grammy Award-winning progressive house outfit Deep Dish, Dubfire started off his solo career with a minimal approach to music before adding in the darker techno sounds and progressive house vocals found on his 2007 EP, I Feel Speed. As his sound continued to evolved into the late-2000s, he founded his own imprint, Science + Technology Digital Audio, and captured the attention of the international electronic music scene with a string of dance floor hits, including two of his best-known tracks, "Emissions" and "Spastik."
