Metroline Episode 45 is finally here. Our guest DJ for our latest Podcast chapter is Spanish producer Bolumar who has released a 4 tracker on the label, his release called Hypnotic Trip EP was out on May 5th and include a remix by Alessio Mereu. Originating from the beautiful and historic Spanish stronghold of Valencia, Jose Bolumar Molina alias Bolumar, has prominently emerged from the city increasingly vibrant underground music scene as one of its most cherished musicians. Complimentary to his natural Spanish elegance and charismatic demeanor, Bolumar brings a very unique and infectious sound; something which truly sets him apart from the rest, the combination of which has ignited his ascension to becoming one of Valencia most promising underground tacticians. Influenced by the likes of Fuse front man Enzo Siragusa, Tsuba boss Kevin Griffiths, and one of Frankfurt hottest exports Vera, to name but a few, Bolumar follows through with a music style very much suited to that of his native city unassuming vibe; minimalistic, deep and techy. With his career commencing during his impressionable teenage years, Bolumar initially established himself through playing experimental gigs at small-time venues and parties in his hometown. It was through playing such gigs that he developed a real attitude for DJing and a raw passion for electronic music. Gaining early recognition for injecting his infectious melodies and creativity into consistently unforgettable sets, this consecutively led Bolumar to gain a well-deserved residency at one of Valencia most revered underground venues, Miniclub. It was here where Bolumar took-hold of the weekly Thursday night event Klinik Music Club, captivating his clubbers and creating a real lasting impression with his intelligently fused selection of deep, dubby house and minimal tech sounds. Having firmly established his capabilities behind the turntables, in 2010 Bolumar attentions turned towards production; three years on those efforts have started turning heads well beyond his local realms, with Bolumar music creating a real buzz amongst his industry peers, both across Spain and Europe.

For our first podcast of 2014 we are very glad to be featuring the artist that is also behind Metroline his first 12 inch release of the new year: Romanian producer Plusculaar. Plusculaar was interested in music from an early age and was looking for a reflection of himself in it. He comes from Romania and although is very young (born in 1987) represents his own but long sought style. He has found it in the end because he knew that he wants to bind his future with djing and music. He was gigging in clubs in Bucharest with such musicians as Paco osuna, Skoozbot, Mihai Popoviciu, Dachshund, Florian Meindl, Andre Crom, Xpansul. After some major success in Amsterdam and Romania ( f. ex. dj contest organization) he also found himself as a producer. He produced for Esemtrax, Roots and Wings music, Resopal Shallware and many more labels. Plusculaar says about himself: I can see I am on my way to gig in top clubs and produce music. But you can hear it from djs and producers from all over the world. Anyway, my way does not stop here. I can feel that I just started and I am ready for this ride! That is the difference!. Hope you will enjoy his podcast mix and the single release High Line EP, out on vinyl on January 27th with an Ada Kaleh remix. Till the next one…

Oscar is soon to release a super cool EP on our label called Okapi EP which will include remixes by Doubtingthomas and Fanfarrosa. Release date will be June 10th 2013, until then you van enjoy this mix! Oscar Rocha is a prime example of an artist working within the shifting spaces, faces and cultures of the underground electronic music scene. His eclectic mix of high-energy yet beautiful melodies create funky, dance-inspiring environments to move anybody. From a young age, Rocha immersed himself in music; he gained experience playing in Indie and Punk Rock bands and it was during this time that he further developed his interest and exploration into the realms of composition and experimental instrumentation. Rocha curiosity with new sounds and possibilities allowed him to explore the diverse avenues of electronic music and he has not looked back since. Rocha is not one to be categorized, although mainly influenced by house, experimental music and techno, his sets go a lot of different places. Without abandoning his roots, his productions are reflections of what happens on the dancefloor; the subtle moments of the the calm before the storm or the intense climax of a beat dropping only to dive into more melodic, drone status. His constantly evolving sounds are a stunning result of his keen interest in music, new and old, as well as the growing collaborations he continues to foster. To experience a night of Oscar Rocha on the decks is like having an intimate one-on-one conversation with the artist and his knowledge about up and coming music. He pays particular attention to the quality of sound, but even more than that, the experience. Oscar Rocha sets are not about ego or genre style, but about having an all-around good time.

Metroline Limited musical roots are in techno, that's a fact. Octad and Phiorio, the label bosses met around 10 years or so ago (maybe a bit more actually) and that's because of techno. Octad had been already spinning techno records for quite a few years when Phiorio got into buying records at the end of the 90's. Once he moved to London he started spinning tunes at warehouse rave parties and for a few years he was a regular figure behind the decks of various London techno sound-systems. The music he played at the time was a mixture of Detroit and European funky and minimalistic techno, this mix represents the music Phiorio was playing around the year 2002. That was a time when most dj's still played vinyl, the best London techno shops were Eukatech and Small Fish and techno was played/produced with a much faster bpm :) Enjoy! Tracklist: 1.

Almost the end of the summer... it always goes so quickly... for us in the UK sometimes it does not happen at all... in order to cheer us all up we have got a brand new mix in our podcast series: episode 36 by Antonio J Pires. Tr1pkn1ck is Antonio J Pires, a Portuguese electronic music composer who grew up listening to a collection of world music played by his parents, with Latin,African and European influences.In his teenage years he discovered electronic music mainly in the form of acid house, a tape delivered by a friend made him reach the conclusion that this was the sound he was looking for, with the 303 and the 4-4 beats hypnotising him.He began collecting those black circular things that just happen to produce a sound when they encounter a turntable and begun saying stuff like "I'm a DJ", where he started to perfect his skills and continues to do so today. But the heart was always in producing music and a few years later, with a little setup it all started, producing music in various different styles, exploring a range of different ways of making sounds and recording techniques.In 2002 Antonio moved to the UK, where he had new opportunities to explore and learn, working with other producers in London who had travelled from all over the world to sample the electronic scene.Today he is working in co-operation with various labels including , producing and exploring various different styles from Experimental to techno, house and beyond.

Metroline Limited podcast, episode 35, June 2012 another month another great mix this time from Paris based dj Mike Stern. Mike Stern discovered house and techno music at the start of the 90 through Laurent Garnier shows on the French FM radio Maxximum. Intrigued by these new styles of music, he began to form his own personal musical tastes spending his spare time in record shops and rave parties. He began djing in 1994 and his love quickly grew for the underground techno sound which was coming out of England, Germany and US. In the late 90, bored by the techno sound, he discovered drum and bass/jungle and started to dabble in these genres.After a 6 year break from music, he went back to business. He refined his style and began to mix seamlessly between genres (techno, industrial techno, electro and UK Bass) in his sets. In 2011, his meeting with Tyler Smith aka Black Smith Craft allowed him to become resident of the B-Side show on Livesets.com and moderator of the Technotherapy group, a rising musical group on Soundcloud.

The small towns of Northern England raise a certain type of techno-head. When you grow up regularly spending three hours sitting on a coach just to hear Scott Brown hammer it out to a sea of beetroot-face gurners at Rezerection, it shows a lot of commitment... It develops a passion, not for posing in the gauche bars of Berlin, but for letting yourself go and dancing like no-one watching. And for Sunderland-born Sarah Mono, that will always be the true spirit of techno. It was the late-90s Birmingham scene that really shaped Sarah's musical tastes. After hearing the likes of Regis, Paul Damage and, of course, the insuperable Surgeon, regularly destroy the dancefloor at House Of God, there was no turning back. And while her musical tastes have evolved, Sarah's passion and dedication to that raw, floor-focussed spirit has never changed. Her DJ sets move from the dark, industrial and brooding through to the pounding and hypnotic, but wherever and whatever she plays, Sarah's selections are always guided by that true spirit techno - and her undying devotion to the dancefloor.

Hello and welcome back to Metroline Podcast. We took a month off, we know, but we are back with a vengeance with our 25th episode featuring one of Metroline Limited most inventive and forward thinking artists: Aurelien Riviere aka Doubtingthomas. London based Aurelien (DoubtingThomas) first started his musical journey in 1998 after a childhood obsession with drums and their rythmatic allure. Producing down tempo and electronic sounds led to a rapid progression into live recordings and soundscaping which lured him away from France and into London in 2000. Here he studied Sound Engineering at the acclaimed SAE and continued his ever growing passion for composition always in the look for rare music with a twist. Years of record collecting, playing and collaborating around Europe have seen him find his own original and defined sound, influences of which we undoubtedly see stream their way throughout his production and live sets today. We also see him working for the established Juno Records as well producing for commercial advertising. His down tempo, minimal house and quirky techno always look for the patterns and structure of the inner sound. Sequences within the sound, reaction of the mind and body as well as the interaction of images across the music....these are the ideas behind Aurelien's music. Doubtingthomas has delivered something really special for our monthly episode: a beautiful mix of his unreleased downtempo songs. It's an hour long mix full of lush atmospherics, tripped out beats and moody soundscapes...we are sure you'll enjoy it as much as we do! Till the next one...peace ML

As promised...here's September's Metroline Podcast double treatment! For our chapter 20 we are proud to have Hamid from the Half Baked crew. Hamid will soon release his debut EP on Metroline Limited too...keep your eyes peeled! DJ and producer Hamid was instantly immersed in music, growing up in the quiet south east of France. Brought up as by far the youngest of 5, his early years were full of musical inspiration from all genres and era's. In 2006 he moved to London. The city, its playground of rhythm and creative diversity were literally music to his ears; pulling him deeper in love with sound more than ever before Hamid began securing his place on the city’s house and techno scene. Playing over the years that followed at numerous venues and parties, most notably Tbar, Public Life and various underground events. Hamid’s current residency at London’s hottest Sunday party Half Baked, continues to see Hamid play amongst some of London and Europe’s most respected artists. Hamid met and began collaborating with a collective of people that continue to inspire him today. Collaborations with DoubtingThomas, who we see remix on Hamid ’s upcoming ‘Mentalo Disco’ EP on Metroline With so many elements that have been essential in his growth as a DJ, and more recently, a producer, it's unsurprising that we see such a sense of maturity in his work at such a young age. Hamid 's sound varies eclectically, from his DJ sets to solo productions, collaborations and live work. Latin and tribal ambiences are entwined with down tempo jazz and seductive vocals. Percussion and brass sit alongside deep and heavy rhythmic bass, always focusing on a strong and dominant platform of techno and deep house. It's erotic and dark, sensual and classical, encompassing so many genres and styles in one, a minefield of experimentation that works and forces our minds and bodies into his world. Hamid is part of the Half Baked collective as resident and in-house sound engineer as well as London based project Maison Close. Housing a diverse group of talent, Maison Close’s artists include Greg Brockmann, Robin Ordell, DoubtingThomas, Rainer, Mark Chambers and Hamid himself. 2010 see’s Hamid ’s ‘Mentalo Disco’ EP release on Metroline Limited. A solid and groovy EP with three killer tracks and a remix from fellow Metroline artist DoubtingThomas. Encompassing Hamid’s signature of progressive drum beats and deep house with irresistible groove.
