Well Metro Area is that warm, but tends to be slower in tempo than Morgan's solo work, longer cuts, really "arranged" proper, the long sides of the 12"s have really long, varied percussion intros so they're great in the mix. The basslines are thick as your grandmothers turkey gravy. More live instrumentation and definitely a nod to electronic disco, but not in a cheesey way, in the electronic deep house groove way. Darshan is all about the NY classics and dance music history, so that sound comes through, but it's a really warm, funky combination that sounds like homage to the past, but not unabashedly retro -- there's futuristic and atmospheric sounds that make it still it's own kind of sound that has real techno/future elements. There's also some live violin strings (Ana) and on some tracks a pinch of funky guitar or trumpet (!)... but just a little (just the right amount IMHO).
