(ALTFREQ PICK) Metrik @ Cafe Asia – Liquid drum ‘n’ bass is one of music’s most sonically pleasing contradictions – upbeat yet melodic, energized and chilled out in equal measure, and often more moving than words can express. Hospitality Records is one of AltFreq’s favorite DnB labesl, and the official label tour is heading straight for DC, led by liquid legend Metrik. His Liquicity 2013 year-end mix is one of the most-played items in my iTunes library for a reason, and if you can brave the snow and make it out to Cafe Asia tonight, I can promise he won’t disappoint.
