Woe Nelly! Spring is in full swing and the Year of the Horse is looking damn fine for Tutu Tuesday. Mike Khoury filled our hearts last month and now we are careening in a slightly different direction with a live set from Mexico's Metrika.
No less heartfelt, métrika's style incorporates sophisticated vocal sampling to produce a sound that feels more song than track. In a subculture where many DJs are grappling to be the first to play the next micro-hit, Metrika steps out on his own-fearlessly provoking the crowd to euphoric heights with his layering rhythms. In other words, he is a bad ass.
Tonight we are going to reach a little further into our pockets of taste and emerge with a refreshing gaze into the myriad of possibilities we call dance music.
