Metro Area (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qb2zd6VRmg#lq-lq2-hq)
A bio of Metro Area, taken from their myspace site ( http://www.myspace.com/metroarea (http://www.myspace.com/metroarea) )
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. Most of all, it left both DJs and dancers wanting more.
However, the runaway success of Metro Area's MA 4 EP (released November 2001) surpassed all expectation, not least the duo's own. The feature track "Miura", a sinister, spare and pulsating antidote to the melancholic sweetness of their previous release, captured the imagination of a broad cross-section of DJs, dancers and listeners from almost every genre. Ubiquitously charted and still played with reverence today, "Miura" fueled sales of over 16,000 copies of the EP to date. It should be noted here that in keeping with Metro Area's low-profile tradition, not a single promo was mailed out to stimulate sales: the frenzy was created purely by word-of-mouth.
Exactly a year after Metro Area 4, Metro Area's self-titled debut album finally emerged. Comprised of the strongest tracks from their 12" series plus 4 new tracks, the CD/LP elicited superlative responses from The New York Times to The Onion, from Web-logs to The Wire. Metro Area won a place among Rolling Stone's "Top 50 Albums of the 2002," a rock-and rap-dominated area most of today's dance music falls short of. Other accolades included BBC/Radio 1's "Dance Album of the Year" and the "Best New Artist" prize at the 2003 DanceStar/American Dance Awards.
June 2004's MA5 and June 2005's MA6 EPs are already being touted as an extension of their sparkling tradition of redefining, refining and re-shaping their influences. The duo's remix of Hugh Masekela's "Mama" for Verve Remixed 2 was hailed as an elegant and innovative treatment of a classic recording, proving that Metro Area is more of an ethic than a production style and prompting Verve to release it and the original as its own 12" single.
Besides their work in the studio, Metro Area have toured extensively, both together as a live PA and DJ team and separately as DJs, playing their distinct and individualistic style to crowds from Norway to South Africa. 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, the music world can rest assured that Metro Area will continue to rock theories of time and space.

so the promotion is kinda misleading don't u think? haha.
nope, cuz like I've said b'fore.. this is Darshan's set AS Metro Area, which is a diff' set than Mr. Darshan's own solo set. It is also one of their agency's policy for US to promote it as Metro Area. So no "miss-leading" intended dude.. don't rub it off the wrong way K ? :)
Quote from: trippyyy on 24/07/09, 15:37
yaaahhh.... :( :( :(
same thing as in Jkt, only Darshan could come. Period. But it's not as bad as it might sounds tho.. Even if its only Darshan J. Metro Area is a guaranteed bliss .. just come and prove it yourself K? cheer up! ;)
haha ngga ko boss baru mau gw edit..tetep full support ko..emang iyaya jkt jg darshan aja?cuma suruh dia main yg lamaaaaa dong biar puaaaaaaaas boss :D :D :D
hehehheh.. lama kok.. lebih lama lagi gw cariin kontrakan dia.. hahahah..

@danzig : run down kamis malam di pure; adit&ega-gerhan-dea-darshan-ademus

hey ppl, thanks for the feedback, i do not want to make any promises just yet, but we will do our best to direct "aeroplane" towards indo, air traffic control are you ready!?!?
btw trippyyy i cant believe u got rejected from blowfish!! thats really lame, i bet darshan himself was casual. that stupid fish shud realize that if they bring djs like metro area or cut copy, the crowd that will actually care to come for the event does not give two shits about formal dress code, we just express our own style, similar to the way the djs express their own style in their music. let that fish keep blowing its bubbles of bullshit, just keep it casual and keep it real!!!

out of ONE box perhaps, but goes straight into another.. a box full of BS that is.. lol
we're the one that really out of the box with some cool crowds at that time *bgs* bikin acara seruuu lg dong EO bdg!!!!!tp tetep support lah gw sama EO yg di jakarta ;)
hi ppl, i have some bad news and a bit of good news too. ill start wit the bad news, aeroplane was booked by another EO or club in jakarta, (probably the fish itself), and they do not plan on bringing them to bandung. we offered the agent for a thursday date in bandung but she said its not possible. so for the bit of good news, at least they will still be coming to jakarta on dec 11, 2009. we will look into the other requested djs!
I rather listen to the 'planes on an fucked up mp3 player than there.. what's the use?

Well I hope it's better this way as now I can see Aeroplane in Jakarta and the substitute for Aeroplane in Bandung, as opposed to only Aeroplane in Bandung ;)
