Metroline Limited podcast, episode 35, June 2012 another month another great mix this time from Paris based dj Mike Stern.

Mike Stern discovered house and techno music at the start of the 90 through Laurent Garnier shows on the French FM radio Maxximum. Intrigued by these new styles of music, he began to form his own personal musical tastes spending his spare time in record shops and rave parties. He began djing in 1994 and his love quickly grew for the underground techno sound which was coming out of England, Germany and US. In the late 90, bored by the techno sound, he discovered drum and bass/jungle and started to dabble in these genres.After a 6 year break from music, he went back to business. He refined his style and began to mix seamlessly between genres (techno, industrial techno, electro and UK Bass) in his sets. In 2011, his meeting with Tyler Smith aka Black Smith Craft allowed him to become resident of the B-Side show on Livesets.com and moderator of the Technotherapy group, a rising musical group on Soundcloud. At the same time, he makes some podcasts and some sets for other radio shows, and continues his musical quest.

Right when you thought we were gone forever here we are again! Metroline Podcast is still alive :) We only took a (well deserved) break because we were busy restyling both Metroline and Retrometro. Job done by the way, both labels have a new (great) look.

For our welcome back podcast we have a 3 decks techno mix by Patrick Bolton. Patrick is a bristol based producer and Dj and one of the founding members of Apologue recordings. Techno is forever evolving and so Patrick has tried to evolve with it, creating tracks which are based on the elements that have influenced him over the past decade and more, believing there is always room to develop further and push what can be done with electronic music

Hi creations contain experimental elements, without compromising on dancefloor appeal, and the same can be said for his Dj sets. After trying various set ups, and toying with new technology for a while, he has settled on a happy medium, combining traktor scratch and 3 turntables, which is what was used for this mix.

The small towns of Northern England raise a certain type of techno-head. When you grow up regularly spending three hours sitting on a coach just to hear Scott Brown hammer it out to a sea of beetroot-face gurners at Rezerection, it shows a lot of commitment... It develops a passion, not for posing in the gauche bars of Berlin, but for letting yourself go and dancing like no-one watching. And for Sunderland-born Sarah Mono, that will always be the true spirit of techno.

It was the late-90s Birmingham scene that really shaped Sarah's musical tastes. After hearing the likes of Regis, Paul Damage and, of course, the insuperable Surgeon, regularly destroy the dancefloor at House Of God, there was no turning back. And while her musical tastes have evolved, Sarah's passion and dedication to that raw, floor-focussed spirit has never changed.

Her DJ sets move from the dark, industrial and brooding through to the pounding and hypnotic, but wherever and whatever she plays, Sarah's selections are always guided by that true spirit techno - and her undying devotion to the dancefloor.

Sarah has been a close friend of the Metroline crew for years. When asked for a mix tape for the our podcast series she delivered this amazing 90 minutes techno set... we love it!

May 2011, Metroline Podcast Number 27...please welcome a fresh Metroline Limited signing: Bodj. The Greek producer will release a 5 tracker filled with tech house bombs on our imprint towards the end of the summer, here is a teaser of his mixing skills for now!

Bodj began to collect music at the age of 12 after being put on to rock and punk by friends who would kindly compile tapes for him.

By 15 he discovered a talent for the art of graffiti prompting him to begin collecting old school hip hop, disco and early electro. His passion for b boy art forms eventually led him one step further and by 2000 Bodj began to play hip hop through house to a soulful style for friends at small venues around and about...

Early 2005 Bodj took classes in sound engineering and electronic music production at the SAE institute of technology, the same period saw an explosion of the tech house scene in which he immersed himself fully. Influenced by his studies and a new breed of house and techno producers Bodj was driven to further develop his own skills and cement a style based around house and techno and their variable sub-genres.

Bodj has an impeccable mixing style and technique has made him one of the hottest Athenian djs for the time being, with appearances at respected Greek venues and festivals such as Entechno festival, European Music Day, Six Dogs, Loop just to name a few..
