Cutloose is a house party held on the third Friday of each month at The Roadhouse. Our next party is July 17th Read more »
The brainchild of veteran producers Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani, Metro Area was born out of the pair’s somewhat dichotomous love for both the old moods of R&B, disco and boogie and the more cutting-edge sound of innovative house and techno. Metro Area brings back the soulful experimentation of the early club classics – mixing live and electronic instruments. Simultaneously, the mood and minimalism of more recent dance music forms creep into the mix: Detroit’s cold futurism, Chicago’s abstract track-modes, and the warmth of New York and New Jersey’s deep house.
After over a year of late-night sessions in New Jersey and Manhattan – Metro Area burst onto the scene in 1999 with their self-titled debut 12″ featuring the cult smash “Atmosphrique.” With an angular bassline underpinned by a grungy 4/4 disco beat and the most distinctive claps this side of 1977, “Atmosphrique” sounds futuristic and retro at the same time, and spawned myriad heated debates concerning the record’s production date. Then came the simply amazing ‘Caught Up’ which left both DJs and dancers wanting more.
Currently staying busy with continued touring, solo remixes from Morgan and Darshan, new studios in Brooklyn, solo and side projects and the imminent release of a new Metro Area album and their new Fabric mix CD the music world can rest assured that Metro Area will continue to rock theories of time and space at Spektrum.
