New York production team Metro Area talk to Marcus Barnes about the effect their first album had on their lives, as well as reflecting on their history and discussing the future ahead of their first live show in over a decade.

Phenom
Metro Area brings back the soulful experimentation of the early club classics, mixing live and electronic instruments. Simultaneously, the mood and minimalism of more recent dance music forms creep into the mix: Detroit's cold futurism, Chicago's abstract track-modes, and the warmth of New York and New Jersey's deep house.
