Known for impressing crowds across the UK, Europe and across the world with his peaktime dancefloor tunes featuring big hooks and catchy melodies, Metrik has certainly captured the imagination of many fans already and will undoubtedly continue to do so in the coming months and years. With diverse tastes ranging from Eric Prydz to Incubus, Pink Floyd to The Prodigy, Metrik’s love of music doesn’t stop there. An avid fan of 80s synth music, film music as well as dance music across the board, his influences span house, techno, trance, rock, soul and classical.
Metrik’s first big break was in 2008, when he debuted with Your World (Instrinsic) which became an overnight liquid funk anthem although it wasn’t until the next release that he was catapulted into the spotlight when his track “Technicolour” gained Radio One support from Annie Mac and Zane Lowe and was also used as a sound bed for Barack Obama’s victory speech on Radio One! Following this came a slew of singles and EPs with notable releases including the sci-fi inspired “Between Worlds EP” (Viper, 2011) and most recently the smash hit “Freefall” (Viper, 2012) as well as remixes of Prydz, John B, Camo & Krooked, Ayah Marar, Rockwell, DJ Fresh, Dirtyphonics and many more.
With his recent signing to Hospital, we are all very excited about the future for Metrik. Stay tuned.

Metrik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the day I open my eyes
What you need matches what you breathe
And stop at nothing
It's the only way
Block the way
The name's Mr. Reign
Yeah, we like to turn up
We live tonight like there's no tomorrow
We get back respect like it's something you borrow
Point to the moon like we were
Oh my god
I'm about to lose my mind in here
Can't hold back 'cause you all know how we're
Let's fight
Turn up
Let's fight
Let's go
Turn up
Let's fight
Let's go...

But until it dies and that light fades
As long as the system is up and running, and its control signal is detectable
And the day I open my eyes
And from the moment I start my hack
What you need matches what you breathe
You must have a clear goal and focus on it like it's essential for living
And stop at nothing
And don't let any obstacle stand in your way
It's the only way
Hacking is the only way to reach your goal
Block the way
Overcome any security barriers that come between you and your objective
The name's Mr. Reign
Identifying himself as the mastermind behind the hack
So you already know what I'm gonna say
Implying that he has done this before and knows what he is doing
Yeah, we like to turn up
We enjoy ramping up the intensity and aggressiveness of the hack
We live tonight like there's no tomorrow
We are committing to this hack as if it is our last chance to succeed
We get back respect like it's something you borrow
We are taking back what we feel rightfully belongs to us
Point to the moon like we were
Aiming for a seemingly unattainable target
Oh my god
Expressing excitement, intensity, and eagerness
I'm about to lose my mind in here
Feeling an overwhelming surge of adrenaline and passion for the hack
Can't hold back 'cause you all know how we're
Unable to restrain the desire to push forward aggressively and without caution
Let's fight
Encouraging the team to be combative and relentless in the hack
Turn up
Elevate and amplify the aggression and intensity of the hack
Let's go
Let's begin the hack and reach our goal
