REVIEW: 15 Years of Metropolis // WHP17

The end of the Warehouse Project season is slowly coming but the last few weeks are full of some of the most anticipated events on the 2017 calendar.

For drum & bass fans, 25 Years of RAM and 15 Years of Metropolis have definitely been the ones to look out for.

The majority of the shows hosted at Store Street Warehouse focus mostly on techno/house music, so sometimes, us bass heads feel a little left out. However, the line up for Metropolis included some of the biggest names in the DnB scene and we were very excited to see what the night had in store.

Unlike RAM, the night didn’t focus solely around drum & bass but still featured some fantastic names like Chase & Status, My Nu Leng & Darkzy along side many other notorious DJ’s to mark the 15th birthday. Metropolis have spent the last 15 years pulling together some of the most iconic line ups and jaw dropping events in the electronic music industry and they did not disappoint with their work at Store Street this year.

As I arrived at Store Street (which seems to have become my second home), I was greeted by the thumping sound of Darkzy on the decks. Even though he’d actually broken his ankle prior to his performance for Metropolis, he still put on an impressive show and played banger after banger.

Of course, My Nu Leng did not disappoint. They have really made a name for themselves over 2017 and they are constantly creating a quintessential sound for the genre.

Slightly different to the heavy line up of room 1, Redlight play an hour & a half set in room 2. This room was a slight breather from the gargantuan stable, heavy weight bass of the main room.  I’d been waiting to see Hugh Pescod behind the decks for months now, after missing him at his sell out show at Antwerp Mansion… I was not disappointed. He played some of his own tunes as well as some I wasn’t familiar with, but his set worked flawlessly and it was nice to have more of a boogie than the throwing about that was happening in the other room.

Of course the most anticipated name of the night was Chase & Status. As they were one of the last to play, they had the task of keeping the crowd ‘alive’ for the last three hours along side Dimension & Friction. They did exactly that, just as everyone thought they were ready to leave, the duo took over the decks with some mad visuals and some great tunes.

We do not want Warehouse Project season to finish, but it’s sure to come to an end with a bang. Check out the events to come HERE.
