Public Transit Recordings presents....

MetroPass

A 12 inch vinyl 4 track EP follow up to the widely popular CD compilation Code 416 which featured local electronic urban music producers. After selling over 600 code 416 CDs in the city we set our sights on a bigger international audience. Presenting our talents on a DJ friendly format we are capturing a prime moment to introduce ourselves internationally. With this release we wish to expose our unique sounds and talents through internet presence, college radio support, reviews, advertising and record release events.

Four new tracks from artists featured on the code 416 CD compilation

presents a diverse yet connected sound. The wax bounces from Moonstarr's beat infested bossa nova tribute to the Scarborough RT to Audix's electro hip hop polyrhythms. While the next track Last Stop features Rosina's soothing voice backed by Murr's dope transitional beats. The EP is topped off by the innovative scratching and tight jungle programming of Genetic, as he plays Hookey.

The wax has an underlying theme of public transportation as it relates to the situation that exists for transit riders in our community. Being the only city in North America that receives no funding from the government, our transit system is degrading due to the onslaught and promotion of automobile use. We intend to promote the use of Public Transit and encourage the idea that community is better than individual transportation. So far we have been successful by presenting ourselves through a collective sound and look forward to telling our stories to a broader audience.
