Morgan Geist returns to his original house music inspiration.
Best known as one half of nu disco/deep house duo Metro Area, Morgan Geist's new moniker — Storm Queen — is about to have a bona-fide chart hit with the previously released 'Look Right Through'.

Scott, who shot to prominence for being filmed singing on the NYC subway, it was signed to Defected at the end of last year and the MK dub became an anthem in Ibiza and at many festivals over the summer just gone.
London producer Swindle draws on assorted jazz, hip-hop, funk and dubstep influences in his great new album 'Long Live The Jazz'.
“I know what you mean, like on ‘Forest Funk’. I played that guitar! I just do what feels right. I mean, I’ve grown up around great music, especially jazz and funk and of course drum & bass, garage and everything else. I just like to play around. I’ll play with any instrument that I can get my hands on. A little bit of madness. I like to try and get my head working crazy, to make crazy music.”
