Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani forged an alliance in the late '90s that has resulted in some of the most colorful, deep-feeling, melodic, and simplistic-yet-full-sounding dance music of the time that will no doubt translate decades ahead. Avoiding any strict sense of stylistic pigeonhole, Metro Area's releases pay tribute to the bygone glory days of '70s and '80s boogie, old-school R&B, disco, and house; all the while keeping this timeless melting pot fresh with a modern edge that has skillfully avoided any trends that have coincided with the duo's existence. Their unique blend of the synthetic and the organic, with equal passion for both early Detroit techno and Harlem-birthed underground disco (in addition to enthusiasm for Hindi soundtracks and jazz), has cultivated a small but fervent following that spans more than one generation of dance music fans and DJs.
