Metrafaze is a versatile DJ and music producer with a deep-rooted passion for sound that spans several genres, including Drum and Bass, Jungle, Hardcore, House, Trance, and Techno. With a journey that began at the age of 6 as a synthesizer enthusiast, Metrafaze transitioned into the world of DJing by 18, where he found his calling behind the decks. His dedication to the craft is evident, as his DJ mixes frequently rank high on Mixcloud charts, showcasing his ability to seamlessly blend tracks and create immersive musical experiences.
Metrafaze’s production prowess was highlighted when a Drum and Bass track he produced was featured on a number one selling mixed artist LP on Hardpoint Recordings. Currently, he collaborates closely with Hardpoint Recordings and Stone Cold Audio, two labels that have become essential parts of his evolving sound.
Inspired by the likes of DJ Xception and Martyn Nytram, Metrafaze’s approach to DJing is both meticulous and passionate. His sets are more than just collections of tracks; they are carefully curated journeys that consider every aspect of the music—from tonality and key to BPM and overall mood. Unlike some DJs who focus solely on dropping the latest hits, Metrafaze takes pride in understanding the DNA of each track, ensuring a seamless mix that resonates with listeners on a deeper level.
After a period of focusing on other pursuits, Metrafaze is now rediscovering his production skills and exploring new sounds, committed to releasing more EPs with Hardpoint Recordings and Stone Cold Audio. With an open mind towards collaboration and a desire to continually expand his knowledge, Metrafaze is looking to connect with new labels and artists who share his passion for pushing the boundaries of music.
With every set and production, Metrafaze aims to evoke emotion and leave a lasting impression on his audience. Whether it’s in the studio or on stage, he continues to create and innovate, driven by the simple desire to make music that gives people goosebumps.
