Metrik biography

British electronic music producer Tom Mundell, better known by his stage name Metrik, first appeared in 2007, however rose to recognition in 2010 with his debut EP “The Departure”.

Hailing from London, England, Mundell began making music in 2007, debuting with the track “Your World” released on Intrinsic Records. Following the release, the producer formed a relationship with the Liverpool-based drum and bass label Viper Recordings who would release all of his music until 2013. In 2008 Metrik issued the singles “Moving On / Stranger” and “Technicolour / Zero Gravity”, and a year later the singles “Sunset / Forward Approach” and “Time To Change”, which despite proving popular in some circles failed to raise the profile of the young musician.

The following year however, with the release of the EP “The Departure” Mundell enjoyed his greatest success to date. Led by the recognisable single “T-1000”, the record hosts contributions from techno producers Christian Smith and John Selway as well as the Welsh electronic artist Jan Burton. 2010 also marked the the start of Mundell’s remixing career, notably crafting remixes of Funkstar Deluxe’s “Do You Feel” and Skepta vs. N-Dubz’s “So Alive”.

In 2011 the producer issued his sophomore EP “Between Worlds” featuring the singles “T-2000” and “I See You”, the latter of which with vocalist Kathy Brown. The free-download EP “Flightwave” followed in 2012, spawning the single “Engine Room” and “Freefall / Drift”, which marked Mundell’s final releases on Viper Recordings. In November 2012, the producer signed with independent drum and bass heavy weight Hospital Records, who issued his fourth, self-titled EP in 2013. The musician subsequently collaborated with Camo & Krooked on the track “Aurora”, before returning to the studio to record his debut full-length album.

Ahead of his highly-anticipated debut, Metrik issued the single “Want My Love” featuring Elisabeth Troy. It was Mundell’s first charting single, peaking at No. 61 on the UK Single Chart and No. 31 on the UK Dance Chart. The full-length “Universal Language” was released in September 2014, peaking at No. 13 on the UK Dance Chart and spawning the subsequent hit “Human Again” with vocals from Jan Burton.

Live reviews

Metrik, a.k.a Tom Mundell is London based DJ/Producer who has been making huge waves since his debut in 2008 and his live show matches the stature of his psychedelic drum & bass. He continues to impress crowds across the UK and Europe with his huge dance floor fillers which are a mixture of original tracks and remixes for some of the most prolific artists including Subfocus and Ellie Goulding. Tom confesses to having a varied music taste ranging from progressive rock such as Pink Floyd & Incubus to the classic fathers of electro The Prodigy and contemporaries such as Eric Prydz. This mixture of influences is reflected in his sound and therefore his electro style is really varied which for a live show means the audience are currently being surprised by huge melodies and hooks that you may not find from Metrik's peers.
This variation keeps crowds engaged, excited and hanging on each of Mundell's movements as he mixes and drops with complete fluidity to create hysteria in the baiting audiences. Recently performing a killer set at Global Gathering, he'll be returning to the UK for a night at the O2 Academy in Brixton before heading to Manchester, Birmingham and Bournemouth to name a few later in the year to take part in the legendary Hospitality nights with High Contrast and Camo & Krooked. Assured to be a fantastic show for any fans of electro and dub step, get your tickets soon.
