With the arrival of his long-awaited debut disc GET WILD, in North America (Album is scheduled to launch worldwide this summer), revered electronic music trendsetter SHARAM makes his boldest studio statement yet. Counting superstar collaborations with everyone from Kid Cudi and Tommy Lee to Diddy and Daniel Bedingfield, SHARAM’s ability to draw such a vast talent pool is as impressive as his longstanding reputation for mesmerizing club crowds from Miami to Ibiza.

The 22 solely produced tracks on Get Wild span the full spectrum of dance music. Take the disc’s landmark “She Came Along,” which meshes elements of Patsy Cline’s legendary country song “Strange” with vocals by hip-hop sensation Kid Cudi, “This is really, really innovative. I haven’t heard anything like it: the Patsy Cline sample and how he blended it together and made it hip-hop too” says Kid Cudi. The end result is a masterpiece already being hailed as one of the most uniquely infectious genre bending songs of 2009 from Mixmag, Vibe magazine and slew of other publications to many of the upper echelon of producers including Kanye West.

If Get Wild’s visual imagery is extremely distinct, it’s a perfect match for SHARAM, who always aspires to evolve creatively and strengthen dance music’s reputation. “I don’t play the trendy game,” he insists. “I don’t care about what’s cool or hot today versus what was the thing to like yesterday. I look for quality. First and foremost I’m a music fan and not one genre. The people I’ve chosen to work with on this album all represent quality in their own right, and they’re all innovators in their own worlds. I wanted to align myself with people like that.”
