(le) poisson rouge

Darshan Jesrani's recording project "Metro Area" (together with partner Morgan Geist) on the Environ label has left an indelible mark on the dance music landscape. Their 2002 debut album elicited superlative responses from The New York Times to The Onion, from web-logs to the Wire, and remains one of the most influential dance albums of the past decade. Metro Area won a place among Rolling Stone's "Top 50 Albums of 2002", BBC/Radio 1's "Dance Album of the Year" and a "Best New Artist" prize at the 2003 DanceStar/American Dance Awards.
