Biography:
Tom Mundell aka Metrik has already come a long way as one of the new names to look out for in drum & bass and for someone still relatively young, his mostly self-taught knowledge, enthusiasm and drive know no bounds.
In 2006, Tom’s debut release appeared on boundary pushing drum & bass label Collective. His remix of Jesper Dahlback's globally acclaimed techno track, 'Murder Was The Bass' won many plaudits both from within the drum & bass and techno communities. This led to a remix for French electronica band Undergang later that year as well as other remixes, such as his re-work of Grace's ‘Not Over Yet’ which received immediate support from some of the scene’s biggest names setting Tom on his road to success.
By 2007 he had released the anthemic soulful refrain of 'Your World' on Intrinsic Recordings which was picked up by everybody from Bad Company to Pendulum and Fresh to London Elektricity. The release took the market by storm and held at number one spot on the Beatport download charts for several months. It was to become arguably one of the biggest tracks of the year. With admirers across the whole drum & bass spectrum and having been contacted by Futurebound, Metrik became an esteemed member of the Viper Recordings family.
In 2008 Metrik released his first single on Viper – the epic ‘Moving On’ / ‘Stranger’ which was to become his second single to reach number one in the download charts. The end of that year saw Metrik unleash the huge ‘Technicolour’ which received major radio support from the likes of Zane Lowe, Hugh Stephens, Annie Mac and Colin Murray as well as all of the heavyweight drum & bass DJs. This culminated in BBC Radio 1's poignant use of the track as a sound bed on their coverage of Barrack Obama's victory speech on Colin Murray's show to breathtaking effect.
2009 got off to a great start after he collaborated with Austrailian rising stars, Shock One and Phetsta to produce the enormous ‘True Believer’ on Viper Recordings. This instant classic quickly gathered serious momentum and became a staple choice in many A-lister’s DJ sets worldwide. Simultaneously, ‘Your World’ propelled to the number one chart position at Beatport for the second time. Metrik’s summer smash, ‘Anthem’ has created some devastating reactions in the clubs over the Summer, picking up support from High Contrast, The Utah Saints and the Brookes Brothers. More recently Metrik's tracks 'Forward Approach' and 'Sunset' have featured on one of the biggest drum & bass albums of the year, Acts Of Mad Men, titled as Zane Lowe's album of the week.
Metrik’s rise behind the decks has seen him travel further afield, headlining parties across the UK, holding down a residency in Brighton, Djing at Renegade Hardware and Hospital Records events and playing at venues across Europe with a Viper tour planned for later in the year. With a string of new releases lined up and with his first solo EP in the works, Metrik's name will soon become indelibly etched across the face of contemporary electronic music.

Here Is A Poem That I Wrote And I Want 2 Share With U...
Tell Me If U Like It And Have A Nice Day....
SECRET WORLD
Alone in the dark Where u are? I can't feel u I can't hear u
Why? We are on Different places At the same time I want to be With u In the same place At the same time
Alone in the dark I hear my name From far away A beautiful voice From a beautiful Lady Step by step I’m getting closer 2 cold 4 been real
High Wycombe Buckinghamshire The front door is open She let me in She’s in front of me Now we are In the same place At the same time
Grab my hand Let’s find home Maybe is up in the sky A golden compass reflect the sun Maybe we r in the right way Grab my hand Kiss my heart Take me into another world Far away from this chaos Take me into a beautiful world A secret World Where always is sunrise Two full moons A beautiful World That nature design Just for u and me
Glad i randomly stopped by, i see some new bits. Sounding great mate! Anthem has always been a big tune for me but now it's on a whole new level! Big big big sir!
