Metrist is an outlet for Joseph Higgins' idiosyncratic, constantly evolving dancefloor tailored endeavours. The London based artist’s intensity and sense of humour can be heard through his approach to alien-like sound design and mangled beatwork in his jaunty oddball shaped work. Through his collaborations with labels such as Where To Now?, Timedance and his newly founded label SOSOSO, Metrist's work has been described by Hardwax as a “Dare-to-be-different true techno explorer”. As a DJ, Metrist's sets - which have graced a number of stages, from the renowned Berlin Atonal to Freerotation Festival - combine his broken-beat UK influences with bounced, askew techno.
