Three years and thousands of miles after Orient Dub Express, Metastaz is back with Encounters, his fifth forecoming album, released on the 10/29/2012.
In this brand new sound odyssey, this inspired storyteller wrote each chapter of this brilliant opus like a single story, each with its own world. Between shadow and light, Metastaz’s imaginary is full of super heroes and fantasy creatures, whose stories are written on mystics riddims andall cleverly combined with basses.Miscelleaneous’s incisive flow, Yarah Bravo’s blasting gentleness, Sir Jean’s inimitable voice… : Encounters was made of prolific talents, inspired and surprising interactions…
And also remixed icons, such as The Roots and Sinead O’Connor. It is at the crossroads of diffuent electronic influences, insufflated by an insatiable curiosity and a real talent for cinematic atmospheres. This album is also a tribute to those who has been supporting him up, far and near, more and more numerous.
Those who supported the Ulule Campaign by giving a few euros to finance the production of this album.Metastaz’s spirit is always boiling with ethnics beats, broking up fronteers between musical genres…
Encounters is a blasting chronic of today’s world music!

"Orient Dub Express" is a carefully thought-out album. In every step: from the creation to the production. Of course, the album is based on a sound electro-dub. For people who know the older production of Metastaz, we feel his own sound. But not all. This express pull us at top speed to some other horizons at the image of the track "Snakes". On his music, Metastaz had added some other influences with success. On this electro-dub which is for him so familiar we can find some zest of hip-hop, feelings trip-hop such as thunderous rock. Mixing saturated guitars with rap flow. And of course, using all the old good receipts to create a perfect dub-electro. With this album, Metastaz boost wonderfully well the style.
