Metrik & Grafix - Parallel VIP

Two Hospital Records titans collide! Metrik & Grafix join forces for a highly anticipated collaboration after the success of their hugely popular track ‘Parallel’, released on Metrik’s third studio album ‘Ex Machina’. The pair got to work in Devon Analogue Studios combining their production precision and unmatchable energy to deliver an exhilarating drum & bass powerhouse anthem. With over 23 years combined of supplying huge dancefloor classics like ‘Tension’, ‘Fatso’, ‘Radiance’ and more, you can be sure that the alliance of Metrik & Grafix elevate their sound into unchartered sonic territory.
Otherworldly synth riffs carve out a pathway for Metrik’s own vocals to trailblaze through, whilst crisp snare hits and electrifying atmospheres crescendo into an invigorating state of Overdrive. Resonant bass wobbles and thunderous drum hits are the clear product of Metrik & Grafix’s creative collaboration. The duo’s rock and hip-hop influences become ever more apparent in the breakdown as halftime breaks and nostalgia-fuelled guitars, played in by Grafix, step into the forefront. Drum & bass doesn’t get more weighty than this.
The widely-acclaimed debut collaboration from Metrik & Grafix, ‘Parallel’ gets the VIP treatment on the B-side as the drum & bass behemoths revisit the future classic. The pair have crafted an ever-more immersive introduction teasing the original melodies, before exploding into pure 174BPM energy.
The coming together of Metrik & Grafix is a prospect that has sent shockwaves throughout the drum & bass community. The pair hosted their solo livestream series throughout lockdown, with Metrik’s nominated for the 2021 AIM Awards ‘Best Live [Streamed] Act’. Plus Metrik & Grafix are no stranger to having their selections blasted out on the airwaves with combined support from radio tastemakers like Annie Mac, Danny Howard, MistaJam, Rene LaVice and Charlie Tee and dance music icons such as Andy C, Sub Focus, DJ Marky and Wilkinson, this exciting new duo project has stepped the game up in the world of dancefloor drum & bass. ‘Overdrive’ & ‘Parallel (VIP)’ will be available on an extremely limited vinyl run which will be available exclusively on The Hospital Shop.

Fall into parallel? More like falling into a state of bingeing all of Metrik's and Grafix's newest bops

[@TheMuchti]

I think the intro of this song is single handedly the best intro to any song ever created.

[@AximiliEsgarrouth1]

Your dedication paid out, huh?

[@TimSter15]

have you listened to anything progressive? The build up is top tier for dnb... but it has nothing on progressive trance or techno for example

[@TimSter15]

Equal to the original - just a different spin! Really enjoyable! If anything this is probably better, because of that excellent buildup!

[@CeyhunGurbanMusic]

These guys are the future of DnB

@World of Fear Yeah i know but still DnB

[@donatasc2276]

For me I felt like dejavu… something very close to Pendulum style :)

[@MrGeforcerFX]

The whole ex machina album is very pendulum like.

[@IMattayy]

I got the same feeling from this definitely sounds like something pendulum could have made and that's a good thing big fan of the old pendulum stuff

[@teodordimitrov1804]

Yes

[@im_that_guy]

A VIP of my favourite 2020 DNB track? Don't mind if I do

[@Sypaka]

What does "VIP" even mean in that context? Seen it, but it always feels like the first draft of a song.

[@im_that_guy]

@@Sypaka variation in production. Technically, it's the second-final draft.

[@Sypaka]

@@im_that_guy Like a "Self-Remix" in a way?

[@im_that_guy]

@@Sypaka yes sir. They've access to the original song files, which allows them to change the production in ways others doing a remix couldn't.

[@upperclassbassline3652]

I think these two would definitely pull off working together as 1 Artist, similar to Calyx & Teebee. But better!! And still do Gigs Solo also.

[@TheT-800]

Ima be put into the hospital by music like this

[@TormentDubz]

Booooo

[@kiitzer]

Holy shit, and I thought the original was amazing and I've been missing out. this, this is INCREDIBLE. That build up tho 😍😍😍

Is there a difference between them?) Except for the intro at 2:35

[@CrimsonRose18]

Longest intro in the entire world.

[@mrmatthewshun]

I really love Metrik, but this was such a disappointment. Basically no variation in the first 2 minutes and then the same drop as the original. Meh :(

[@itsmeagain966]

A VIP doesn't have to be a complete makeover of a track. It's often times just small tweaks for DJ sets and the reason most don't get released is people complain that they didn't change enough. This one has a killer intro so just be grateful they actually released it!

[@mrmatthewshun]

@@itsmeagain966 For me it's too repetitive to be "killer"
