Re: (313) Metro Area Live- Detroit - January 24

2002-12-26 Thread Rob Theakston
Just to clarify:

1. Yes, Metro Area is playing in Detroit
2. They are NOT doing a live set. Anyone who has told you otherwise is 
misinformed
3. You should go. Because me and Gillespie will be holding it down that night 
as well.


And to paraphrase the immortal words of Frank Zappa, I'd like to wish you all a 
very figgy bungus and a happy new year.

I've read quotes in the past from Dixon, one of Jazzanova's Sonar Kollektiv
crew, that he really just wants to be Metro Area... (or words to that
effect).

Check some of his recent remixes for proof of that - the Wahoo mix of
Jazzanova's "That Night" (on Dixon's latest mix CD Off Limits 3), and his
contribution to the Fauna Flash remix album are both excellent productions.

please- to set the record straight it's the _skin_flute. the kelley polar
quartet is rocking the strings.

and refuting claims of a laptop live set- yes, it is run by a laptop. but MA
certainly isn't sitting down! the choice has to be made between
portability/convenience or not doing shows at all. it's really studio-based
musicwho is going to pay for the show plus transport and upkeep of live
musicians? we're a bunch of animals!

2002-05-01 Thread Matthew MacQueen
> Ok, got some Morgan Geist records, so I imagine it will be a very warm
> sound than...

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).

Peace,
Matt MacQueen

Their live set at that 7th City afterparty (Serenghetti Ballroom on
Woodward, classic) was just spectacular, deep as hell. That Dan system
rented so loud, but it was CLEAN with seemingly bottomless low end.  Morgan
and Darshan working the dials lock tight and people really got down,
tripping through most of the Metro Area favorites.  One of the deepeset and
best executed live PAs of deep house/techno I've ever heard live, pure funk.
Where else are they playing in Europe?   I can't recommend them enough.

Erm, how Metro Area sounds like? Well they sound like Metro Area, they sound
like nobody else, they are way ahead of us, maybe the best description is
from Otto in an effort to describe the sound of Morgan Geist (one half of
Metro Area, the other half is Darshan), Morgan makes Morgan Funk so i asume
that Metro Area makes Metro Funk?. They are from New York btw.
