159 BPM Review: With a reputation as one of the city's most versatile club DJs, Nigelthreetimes, the enigmatic architect of New York's electronic music universe, has unleashed 'Metropolis N' upon the world, a sonic journey that transcends time and space. In 'Metropolis N,' Nigelthreetimes distills a vast array of influences into a symphony of rolling 160bpm breaks. The album's opening salvo, 'Tsq Meltdown' and 'Early Morning From 103rd Street,' showcases their mastery of the craft, with the latter featuring double bass work reminiscent of jungle classics. As the album unfolds, tracks like 'ROAD2RAILS' and 'Phantom Shores' embark on a sonic odyssey into uncharted territory, where oscillated square waves, dubbed-out vocal FX, and 8-bit melodies collide. Yet, amidst this audacious experimentation, an underlying sense of optimism pervades the project. The journey culminates in the mesmerizing 'International Pirate Space Station,' where Nigelthreetimes weaves together the diverse influences of the album into a five-minute symphony. Muted rhodes chords, squarewave basslines, alien melodies, and meticulously crafted breakbeats converge in a breathtaking crescendo. This is a landmark opus that elevates Nigelthreetimes as a torchbearer of the timeless sound of Jungle & D&B.
