DownTownSounds proudly presents:
Remake:Remodel Launch Night with
METRO AREA (3 HOUR SET)
Button Factory (formerly Temple Bar Music Centre), Curved St, Dublin 2.
Friday February 15th
Doors @ 11 - Admission €15
Between 1998 and 2001, Metro Area (aka Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani) won underground acclaim for their series of four self-titled EP’S which wove together their myriad influences –Detroit techno, Chicago house, italo-disco, early 80’s electro-boogie, Eno ambience and New Jersey warmth – into a compelling new musical whole. An eponymous album was culled from the EP’s in 2002, and they haven’t looked back since, smashing it around the globe with their unique remixes and DJ sets, as well as three more 12” chapters in the MA story.
They have also rocked the Bodytonic Tent at Electric Picnic, as well as smashing up the POD last March as part of the Bacardi B-Live series. Their rare sets together are a perfect blend of sexy deep house and techno as well as supercharged disco, electroboogie and italo. Their Environ label continues to showcase the very best in electronic disco, with Morgan Geist’s new project Baby Oliver supplying their ‘PrimeTime (Uptown Express)’ track for LCD Soundsystem’s recent ‘FabricLive’ mix CD. Geist has also released his fabled ‘Unclassics’ mix, a collection of European electro-funk and disco, which showcased a selection of his awesome collection of rare and obscure dancefloor bombs.
We couldn’t think of a better way to make our mark in our new venue than with these boys doing an extended set. They’ll heat you up and melt you down!!
