David Guetta & Nicky Romero – Metropolis (Original Mix)
Nicky Romero is having an unbelievable year and today marks the release of his second collaboration with David Guetta, “Metropolis.” We’ve already seen these two create magic with “Wild One Two,” and this debut release on Guetta’s new JackBack Recordings could be even bigger. The song starts with heavy, gritty synths that help the track rise and fall, while a steady bassline is omnipresent in the background. Folks have pointed out similarities to Axwell’s edit of Michael Calfan’s ”Resurrection,” but we’ll leave that decision to your own ears. Regardless, it definitely worked at Ultra, it worked at Cosmic Opera, and it’ll work through your computer speakers should you choose to pick it up on Beatport.

Hell’s Bells + Resurrection = Cool story, bro.
and i’d say a little bit of Pendulum – The Island (steve angello, an21 & max vangeli remix). guess guetta and romero had to sample those three tracks to create this banger.
I’m going to have to agree. This is just Resurrection Island to Hells Bells? This isn’t original at all.
I thought guetta already had a label: F*** Me I’m Famous, no?
yeah but the intro/outro is totally nasty. and the chord prog followed by bass and piano adds something nice to the main section as well. i don’t have a problem with anyone who is good at taking ideas/themes and making them better.
Regardless of when it was produced (it’s probably been kicking around for a while) after “Resurrection” they should of just let it be. Ugh.
When I heard this at Ultra I thought it was just an old song I heard long time ago… definitely not original sounding, but it sounds good.
Next to me. This one is forgettable and doesn’t make me want to buy. Not in my crate.
