In 2010, Resident Advisor voted Miura the best electronic track of the entire 2000s. Hard to argue with that!

Originally released in 2001 on Environ Records, it’s one of the finest examples of Metro Area’s unique approach to electronic music, where disco, funk and house come together in perfect harmony.

That irresistible rubbery bassline, the delicate strings, the playful vocal snippets and a groove that somehow feels incredibly sophisticated and funky at the same time.

What’s fascinating about Miura is how every element has its own space. Nothing fights for attention, yet everything fits together beautifully.

@morgangeistnyc and @startreeny really knew how to make something special out of the simplest ingredients.

Only music. Carefully selected.

Revisiting these two classics from Environ Records. Still pass the vibe check 25 years later. Both tracks are on my 2003 mix “Playing Truant” on Sound Cloud, along with lots of other gems from the early 2000s. Link in Bio ✨

Well well well… this Friday we’re back with a very special guest alongside our monthly residents @markequark & @nikoicon … if you’ve listened to dance music over the last few decades you’d be hard pressed to have not come across the music from @startreeny of Metro Area.

Since he settled in New York City in the late 90s Darshan Jesrani has championed the spacey and soulful sound for which he is now known. His work, which largely revolves around the exploration and promotion of classic production techniques within contemporary dance music has earned him high praise and demonstrates creative potential beyond the narrow boundaries of the genre’s habits. Darshan’s solo outings under his own name on Chit Chat and Imogen Recordings continue his signature vibe, and his seminal Metro Area project (with partner Morgan Geist) has left an indelible mark upon the dance music landscape.

His Startree imprint, produced and distributed by Above Board, recently issued its 4th and 5th releases by new artist North Satellite, mixed by Jesrani himself. North Satellite’s “Core Discord” EP was recently selected for Bandcamp’s monthly “Best Electronic Music” feature. 2025 will see the release of remixes for North Satellite and Escort as well as new, original solo and collaborative music.

Over the past 18 years he has established himself as a touring DJ and musician, having played the likes of Sónar, Panorama Bar, Fabric, Dekmantel, Garden Festival, Rainbow Disco Club, Space and hundreds of others. As a party DJ he is known to freely mix his favorite dance music of the past four decades to joyous effect.
