nice price deal !!! paris based duo room 10 deliver a strong tech-house 4 tracker with the help of cadenzas alejandro vivanco. room 10s caracol ep represents a slight departure for metroline: away from the strong dub influence of their last few releases, to something more driving and club orientated. caracol (tambour version), which kicks of the ep, is a heavy slab of heavy, deceptively simple funk. the track builds gradually into a totally infectious groove, which breaks down into an atmospheric, cinematic soundscape that reminds you as much of blade runner and metropolis as it does of a john gaiser or false track

inspired by many of the industry’s pioneers, such as, ricardo villalobos, masomenos, marc antona, rhadoo, seuil, cabanne, petre inspirescu and danny tenaglia, to name but a few, counrad has been strongly influenced by deep and meaningful techno, since he began his plight in the industry. music has always been at the forefront, for this italian dj/producer , and the inwave and counrad series labels boss relishes the challenge of crafting techno that reveals itself gradually to the more discerning listener, fusing a multitude of grooves from contrasting musical styles, with a combination of sexy rhythms, subtle textures and emotive melodies. in this first release for metroline limited, counrad showcases the full spectrum of his versatile production skills. the title track underwater is a full on 15 minutes epic chunky minimal monster that just keeps on building. this amazing piece of work takes the listener on a journey that starts with hypnotic minimalism and finishes with some intricate trippy techno. on the flipside you can find the dark and percussive peak time tech-house grooves of particle collsisions and some uber-cool modern machine funk minimalism in the shape of the closing track synapse.

maurizio vitello returns to metroline with some seriously deep bass-driven techno. a devastating ep. the lead track is a driving, stripped down techno groove. full-bodied toms and a seriously fat bass keep the track rolling while filtered vocals and understated synths add the dynamics. heavy! looking good keeps that groove going with a bassline so heavy you will have to pick yourself up off the floor. a bubbling percussion break evolves throughout the track, building in complexity, but kept in check by some nice metronomic hats at the high end. on movers maurizio lets the drums do the talking. everything locks tightly around the solid kicks. the multi-layered break adds a sweet cubano vibe that you simply wont be able to shake off. let the bass drrrrooopppp! pleased? yes we are. this playful track is going set the summer floors on fire. vocal samples weave in and out of the mix, and sharp-as-a-needle 80s-tinged synths stab through the deep, heavy rhythm track to awesome effect.

summer has come early. the fog is literally lifting and willing the summer to come early with this excellent ep for metroline. lead track diggler’s job is a breezy house number with pimping keys and a beautiful bass bounce. there’s plenty of movement in the percussion and a light touch that just begs for summer to come. shout romance is a shade tougher with its up-front kicks and acid-tinged bassline. it has slow burn intensity that is nicely counterbalanced by smooth reverb-soaked vintage synths.the jackspot remix of shout romance really brings out the funk in those synths, underpinning that with down-the line percussion and skittering hats that give the track a real drive. rounding things up nicely is in the right mood. the track’s bassline is sticky, sweet treacle over which congas and vocal cuts are expertly sprinkled to create a tasty treat. it never gets sickly though… horns are deployed sparingly, and the track has the same cool as a cucumber minimalism that makes this ep pure pleasure on the eardrums

sehou provides a prime piece of forward-looking nostalgia for metrolines latest release - the cirkus ep. up and coming talented producer from the south of italy, sehou was the man behind the massive track -she makes me wanna dance- released on all inn limited thats been hammered by ricardo villalobos in pretty much all of his sets for the past year. the brutal bass groove of cirkus calls to mind classic era r&s, its choppy vocals and skittering percussion give the track a raw funk, while its smooth pads add a reassuring, warm flow. untitled to her is a relentless robert armani-style workout, with a hint of chi town bubble and funk. driving chords and simple drum patterns give the tune serious momentum, while plenty of breaks in the rhythm and machine gun buildups make sure you dont lose the groove. romanian producer cristi cons aka case sensitive. after dark interpretation is a gloriously meandering, fluid rework. its subterranean bass bumps and heavily filtered synths give the track a brilliantly disorientating feel, while its tense and tight arrangement bring a tense energy.

new yorks elon provides metroline with yet another very fine release. clap back is a real gem. the original mix has a beautiful spacious and airy mix that allows the echo-soaked toms and the swirling vox stabs to breathe, and they really draw you in. an insistent bass pulse provides a structure for the snappy post-garage percussion to build into a lurching, lunging rhythm. very original, and very infectious. ekkohaus remix is a focused, driving deep house groove, shaped around lush, rounded stabs and heavily-filtered synths. claps and snare emerge from the beautifully balanced mix to give the track a real disco kick. the third track on the ep zero gravity has a more back-to-basics feel. the bassline is dubby, but the percussion has a classic french touch feel that gives the track real movement. a rhodes-like synth line wraps itself round the track like a warm fuzzy blanket. maximum comfort for house heads.

ig room ibiza vibes abound on this killer ep from solead, the parisian duo who have provided metroline with some of the labels most outstanding releases. in musica, tumbling beats and a melange of cuban pianos, horns and flutes play over a very robust rhythms to create an atmospheric big room builder.
