Va - Metro Buskers Vol.1 (mlr004)
Netlabel: www.metrolinerecordings.com
Style: minimal, minimal tech
>Many of you will have asked, just who are the Metro Buskers?. Could it be they the ones standing in the Carling Corner of your local tube station singing Don’t Worry Be Happy or Stairway To Heaven?. Maybe in past times. Though in today’s technology-fuelled musical renaissance our Metro Buskers of the new generation are more likely to be seen with their laptops and midi-interfaces, playing glitches, beats and clicks instead…
In addition to being imagined future-generation street performers, Metro Buskers is the title of Metroline’s first label compilation. A collection of 9 tracks from 9 different artists, all trying to entertain their audience with their music using the wide-reaching internet as their pavement, street corner or tube pitch.
The idea for the compilation came about a few months ago when at Metroline HQ we though about releasing material from some of the artists we’ve been meeting at the various parties we’ve been playing in the last year or so…. hope you’ll enjoy!.
