Darshan Jesrani grew up in Poughkeepsie, New York, population 43,000. In this sleepy town, he started out breakdancing and (legend has it) hacking with an underground network of computer nerds. Next came music. 

As he told us at the 2003 Red Bull Music Academy, 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.
