"Miami home to an ocean of thugs, pawn shops, strip clubs and lowered cars that make the ground shake. A place so hot it can make your head fry, and just when you thought you had the Metatronix sound all figured out -- in steps Diamond Ice. The eerie bass-heavy soundscape he provides is that of a Miami Vice episode handed over to Timbaland, Magic Mike, and Supersoul. His funk is simple yet futuristic and straight to the point. Though new to the world, Diamond Ice goes way back into the Miami urban underground music scene. Ice having lived for 2 years at the infamous 90.9 FM THA BOMB, one of the pioneering pirate radio stations in Miami, is where he met and became friends with Miami Bass legends such as, Ghetto Style DJs, Uncle Al and Jam Pony Express and that's also where he first met Supersoul. These instrumentals are an ode to bass, the monster stereo systems and the cars that push them. Ice serves tracks designed for cruising, profiling and testing your sound system. Born and raised in the ghettos of Miami Dade County, this is truly experimental ghetto music, no tight long sleeve turtle necks, lap tops and Martinis. More like wife-beaters, $50 second hand drum machines and quarts of left over, back-washed Old English from the night before. Diamond Ice is the real thing like the diamond in his tooth."

"Plugs connect. Connections in culture, music and spirituality being the focus of this Plug Tunes project. Following the success of Plug Tunes Vol.1, Miami's Metatronix delivers it's first full length compilation CD. The source is not simply what is seen on the surface; the vibe runs much deeper. Metatronix draws from a well of spirituality which spans the globe. Reaching far beyond the urban streets of Miami and the Rastafari movement of Jamaica, making links on other side of the world with African roots and the ancient Vedic culture of India. It's all grounded back to Miami, where Supersoul and crew weave and mix using threads of plugs, wires, cables, and modern-day machinery to give birth to a vibe. One might compare this vibe to that of Augustos Pablo (an influential Jamaican instrumental producer from the late 70's). Head-nod hip hop beats, cosmic moods, and eerie atmospheres are recorded and mixed with a heavy dub influence. What others in the past have tried to duplicate only to come up short, comes with ease for the cast of Plug Tunes, who's base is straight from that endless source. Featuring exclusive tracks and remixes by: Supersoul, Fat Jon, Push Button Objects, DJ Vadim, Jake Mandell, Calamalka AKA Mike Pre-Amp, Digital K, Strategy, Eternal Golden Void."
