Before we officially appeared into the open as 'Metroland', we both already toyed with the idea of doing a more synth-pop based band. We did an attempt by recording a four track demo with a female singer. Unfortunately it lasted no longer than the demo.

Still, we consider it very likely that the true Metroland spark was founded several years ago, when we saw the chance to play around with multi tracks from some bands on the famous Mute Records label. In those pre-Metroland days we had the nice opportunity to remix none less than Erasure, Moby, Komputer and Depeche Mode. 

With this Depeche Mode remix we did not go any further than our own extended version, rather than making another of those daunted club mixes. This version was never published or put out into the open but as mentioned, we do now consider this as a very early Metroland version, and thus it carries the label Metroland Extended

7 Years after doing the remix, we decided not to keep this longer in our vault! Music is simply something to enjoy, so do enjoy our extended mix of Depeche Mode – Martyr. 
A version once created by the two persons who are now behind Metroland.

The latest Marsheaux album "Inhale" holds a set of  truly fantastic songs and the already sold out  limited edition holds a bonus cd with remixes including a Metroland Re-Remix of "Can You Stop Me". 

What many of you don't know is that Metroland created no less than three different mixes. Here is a regular 80's style extended version

marsheaux - can you stop me (metroland extended)

With a strong and productive career in the electronic scene together, longtime Belgian friends and partners in synthetic crime, Passenger A and Passenger S decided to take on a new challenge and create another conceptual band project focusing on the daily routine of transportation and commuting to work. METROLAND was born.

Emerging from an uncontrollable burning passion for vintage keyboards, and acknowledging inspiration from acts in the likes of KOMPUTER, I START COUNTING or the unmatchable technological pioneers of KRAFTWERK, METROLAND carry us on an electronic journey animated by authentic warm sequences, melodic synthetic layers and robotic vocals, the whole project spiced up with analogue drum machines.

Whatever your usual commute may be, just close your eyes and let METROLAND guide your senses on a sound-driven ride through the buzzing traffic and overcrowded vehicles, giving an all new dimension to these anecdotal trivial details of your daily routine which become glorified once taken under the loop of this brilliant Belgian synthesizer-duo.

Follow the METROLAND subway line and get ready to be plunged into the sound of the Underground, be it from London to Moscow, from New York to Tokyo or from Paris to Brussels, it’s simply more fun to commute…
