Sprechen 021 comes from a man, a legend and an absolute top guy who’s writings most definitely taught a generation ‘how to DJ properly’…yes we are talking about Bill Brewster!

4 chopped up, cut & pasted edits make up the ‘Frottage Cheese’ EP which contains a bit of something to light up anybodys dance floor.

Carpet Warehouse is straight up Balearic yacht rock vibes which hark back to THOSE Lowlife boat parties in the glory days of Electric Elephant in Croatia.

Love Hard has some serious Herbie Flowers style bass action going with plenty of cosmic-esque swirls & whooshes…file under ‘funky chuggy disco’.

SOS is straight up sunshine low slung goodness with full on jazz noodle keys before dropping into a warp factor camp disco drop…this one will defo catch them off guard!

Wide Awake Club closes the party off with not a Timmy Mallet or Tommy Boyd in sight! Photo house/italo weirdness crossover with one foot in the boogie wonderland…ACE!

Bill Brewster - Wide Awake Club

Created and recorded by hordes of sweaty musicians, a handful of talented producers plus a bunch of skilled studio engineers. Edited and adjusted by some Berlin based Belgian (A2 and B1 with the help of a Swede) for maximum disco dancing delight.  "Fuifnummers" is Dutch for "party starters" and that's exactly what you get. This one comes with added intros for double copy beat juggling fun!

For their inaugural flight, Magic Bird coaxes left-of-centre master, Golden Fleece, into sacrificing two glittering, intergalactic originals for the label's first outing, alongside a road-tested Balearic bomb of an edit to close it out.

Having made dynamic, trip-inducing dance music for a number of years on the likes of Eskimo, Redux and Mixed Blood Cuts, Golden Fleece kicks off his Magic Bird journey with, 'Keep Doin' It'. Marrying bongo led drum loops with a subby rolling bassline and cosmic echoes, this infectious opener is a killer slab of synthesised goodness.

Picking up the pace, 'Schapelle's Boogie' bathes listeners in space-age sweeps and reverberating guitar struts, all tied together by a hypnotic bass arp and slick percussion. Chuggy dancefloor salutations from Golden's parallel universe.

Closing out the EP Golden Fleece unleashes a certified slammer of an edit in the form of 'I Love U2'. A psychedelic early '90s trip, with one of the best lead basslines you're ever likely to hear, reworked and retweaked into a DJ friendly Balearic whirlwind.

Darshan Jesrani is a Brooklyn-based recording artist and DJ most known for his promotion of disco and other classic influences within contemporary dance music.
 
Darshan Jesrani’s recording project “Metro Area” (together with partner Morgan Geist) has left an indelible mark on the dance music landscape. Known for its forward-looking, freestyle recombination of influences, Metro Area’s work revolves around experiments with classic production styles and the songwriting focus of disco, new-wave/synth-pop and R&B. Metro Area has injected much needed doses of funk, sensuality, mood and space back into the loop-based and seldom-subtle world of underground dance.

Their 2002 debut album elicited superlative responses from The New York Times to The Onion, from web-logs to the Wire. Metro Area won a place among Rolling Stone’s “Top 50 Albums of 2002”, a rock and rap-dominated list for which most club/dance projects are not even considered. Further accolades include BBC/Radio 1’s “Dance Album of the Year” and a “Best New Artist” prize at the 2003 DanceStar/American Dance Awards.

In 2007, Darshan caught the collective ear with his co-writing, production and remix work (alongside Ewan Pearson and Klas “Sasse” Lindblad) on “It’s All True”, the debut single from beloved UK singer Tracey Thorn’s (Everything but the Girl) solo album “Out of the Woods” (Virgin). This release made waves in broader arenas and was touted as a fresh and uplifting update of the Funhouse-style, vocal-led, New York City synth-pop sound of the early/mid-80s.

Darshan’s extended “Parks Dept. Dub” remix of “Starlight”, an underground hit by celebrated and hungry New York disco upstarts Escort (July 2006) landed on the year-end top-10 lists of many DJs known for their selections and taste.

Metro Area 7, the latest in a series of 12” EPs, was relelased November 2007 to superlative praise. Metro Area’s mix CD for Fabric (late 2008) was considered by Pitchfork to be both of one of the best modern disco mixes and one of the best in the series. In 2010 Resident Advisor named Metro Area’s “Miura” number 1 in their top 100 singles of the past decade, and their Metro Area album at number 2 in their top 100 albums of the past decade.

Having completed the first phase of his studio, which operates out of a commercial loft in Brooklyn, Darshan is preparing a battery of material for release on his new Startree imprint, produced and distributed exclusively by Word and Sound.

Startree’s first release “All-Night People” by Funn City was released at the end of 2013 and was included in Spin’s Top 50 dance singles of the year.

The label’s second offering, “Disco Engine” by Cylinder, has just been released to early superlative praise from music writers and fellow producers alike, and is out right now.

Darshan’s unique remixes for Permanent Vacation, Rekids, Escort and Mock & Toof, among others, have stood on their own as playable pieces of music, irrespective of the original works.

Darshan performs worldwide both as a solo DJ, and as a DJ and live PA together with Morgan Geist as Metro Area.
