Darshan Jesrani

Darshan Jesrani grew up in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., population 43,000. In this town, known in Native American as the Reed Covered Lodge by the Little Water Place, he started out breakdancing and (legend has it) hacking with an underground hackers network. Next came music - Darshan explored techno frontiers, before starting to dig up records that Shep Pettibone had dropped on Kiss FM back in the day. Via the net he crossed paths with Morgan Geist, and they established a unique sound that put the name Metro Area firmly on the map.
