Nomark Records is set to redefine musical boundaries with the upcoming release of “The Metropole Remixes,” a project that originated from a simple idea on their Nomark Discord channel. This venture began as an experiment to remix “Metropole,” an otherworldly love song from Amon Tobin’s “Stone Giants West Coast Love Stories” album. The response from the Discord community was overwhelmingly positive, leading to an extraordinary collection of remixes.
Release Schedule:
- Single: February 8, 2024
- Volume 1 Album: February 15, 2024
- Single: February 22, 2024
- Volume 2 Album: February 29, 2024
The initial proposal on Discord transformed into a creative explosion, attracting a diverse mix of artists – from seasoned professionals to budding newcomers and innovative experimenters. The project was initially for the joy of creation, embodying the true essence of “Art for Art’s sake.” However, the exceptional quality and diversity of the remixes made it evident that these creations deserved a broader audience.
Inspired by pioneering projects like The Ruts’ “Babylon’s Burning Reconstructed” and Front 242’s “Headhunter 2000,” which featured multiple remixes of a single song, Nomark boldly decided to release 19 unique remixes of “Metropole” across two albums.

This release is more than just an album; it’s a celebration of five years of Nomark’s journey in the music industry, showcasing an eclectic range of music that springs from the creative mind of Amon Tobin. “Stone Giants West Coast Love Stories,” released in 2021, was hailed as a revelation, with critics from Kerrang!, PROG, Trebuchet, and Electronic Sound magazine applauding its innovation and unique approach to love songs.
“The Metropole Remixes” is set to be another milestone for Nomark, introducing a new wave of talents and offering an alternative to mainstream sounds.
