Rebound: A weekly party at Water Taxi Beach in Long Island City

this week

Metro Area (Environ Records)

with

Bruce Tantum

and your semi-regular beach bunnies

Justin Carter and DJ Probus (Nublu)

Metro Area preceeded the current nu-disco movement by four years. The duo, made up of Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani, was born out of a dichotomous love for old moods of R&B and boogie and cutting-edge house and techno. Since their enormously popular, self-titled, breakout record in 2002, Metro Area have continued to tour and produce, splicing their warm, techy mirrorball-music with influences ranging from Detroit future house to European acid jazz.

Bruce Tantum has been a staple of downtown NYC music scene for a long-time. His minimalist-pop band Moot was a regular fixture at such long-defunct legendary venues as the Mudd Club, Danceteria and the Peppermint Lounge. He’s also played his blend of odd-ball disco and high-quality house at about every club, lounge and scuzzed-out basement and warehouse in New York.

Probus and Justin Carter, residents from Nublu start off the evening with sounds from punk funk to techno.
