Warm Underground Session

Warm Underground Session 17/10/20

Picking up the clandestine themes of his previous releases, Eddie Merced returns with three tracks of immersive, techno-informed deep house pitched to take the dancefloor far out and further in all at the same time. 

Merced’s sound draws on the lush synthesis pioneered in Detroit, while the tough urgency of his rhythm section speaks to his proximity to all things NYC, but he draws these influences into a spiritual, inquisitive end result which feels primed for warm ups, wind downs and woozy morning sessions alike. ‘Spies In Berlin’ sets the tone in that regard with its cascading arps, melancholic pads and haunting, off-key strings, while ‘Project MK-Ultra’ toys with subtle touches of swing and freaky yet elegantly deployed acid lines. ‘Spooks 101’ completes the set with heavy-lidded, gated synths pulsing out and opening up over brooding low end that urges full, eyes closed immersion. 

Delivering a clear-sighted, intentional approach which balances just a few elements and makes them shine, Eddie Merced’s sound is impeccable and engrossing across these three advanced pieces of synth-powered house music motivated by the mysteries which hide behind closed doors and the unknowable secrets of the great beyond.

Eddie Merced - Project MK - Ultra (Original Mix)

The latest instalment in Eddie Merceds masterclass of deep techno meditation arrives in the form of Like A Flower In The Rain, a three-track demonstration of his keen instinct for the most soul-stirring strains of machine music. Theres a core rhythmic pulse which drives the EPs title track, but its the soaring orchestration of the synth pads which truly shape out the narrative. The progression finds Merced exercising total control, pushing at emotional crescendos without losing the subtle, immersive edge which makes his music so compelling. Across 10 minutes of yearning, poignant techno were gifted a true sundown anthem a rolling epic with considerable depth. The fundamental groove of Ill Wait For You feels like a serene, heads down roller after the high-drama of the lead track, but as ever theres space for the story to unfold as upper-register strings add the peaks to this steady-trucking, mid tempo workout. Undress You completes the set with a whipcrack beat led by the unmistakable sound of a 909 clap. From the low throb of the one-note bass to the smouldering, swirling synth parts, though, this is another one way ticket into the deep end, where Merceds trademark style truly shines. In an era of chaotic eclecticism, Merceds focus on a sound feels refreshing, each new release edging his concept further out, inspiration undiluted, craft perfected.

Deep Tracks of the Year 2024

DEEP DOWN INSIDE

Eddie Merced is one of those artists whose sound speaks on a universal level. The Connecticut DJ and producer has honed a strain of techno and house that matches driving rhythms with richly melodic machine soul. As legendary French techno pioneer Laurent Garnier testified, “Eddie is one of the (too) rare producers these days that are keeping deep, soulful techno music alive.”

The key to the authenticity in Merced’s whole approach lies in the roots of the sound, tracking everything back to its source to understand where house and techno have come from in order to better take it forward. Merced’s life has been immersed in music since soaking up his dad’s love of freestyle and early 80s electro and heading off on his own voyage of exploration. From an affinity for soul, funk and disco through to the full spectrum of electronic music new and old, Merced’s appetite for sincere expression has been fuel for his own sharply-focused music. 

He established R4808n as a platform for his creative vision, framing the epic scope of his synth-rich production with the alluring intrigue of clandestine mysteries both of this earth and beyond. Elsewhere, Merced’s productions have been recognised and carried by scene-leading labels like Upon.You Records and Marco Bailey’s MB Elektronics, Yousef’s Circus Recordings and Brothers’ Vibe’s iconic New Jersey house imprint Mixx Records. His breakthrough release From Within, which also gives his Bloop London radio show its name, was carried by Gabcat back in 2016. 

As a DJ, Merced has played across the US, in the UK and mainland Europe, bringing a hi-octane energy to dancefloor settings, while his radio shows and studio mixes make space for slower, more introspective sounds that round out his musical identity. At all times, he keeps a handle on that vital deep techno, Detroit-inspired soul element that marks out his music. It’s a cohesive approach which has rightly drawn support from such respect luminaries as Colin Dale, Karotte, Ken Ishii and Claude Young Jr, while Carl Cox famously worked stems from Merced’s track ‘Tri-State Hustle’ during a hybrid live set at Ultra Music Festival 2022. 

True to techno’s origins as a fusion of technology and soul, Eddie Merced’s mission lies in the depth of his expression and the places he can take you - his is deeply rooted music heading into the future, reaching skywards as it hits you deep within.

Testimonials:

"Eddie is one of the (too) rare producers these days that are keeping deep soulful melodic Techno music alive. Been a big fan of his productions since day one!" - Laurent Garnier

“Eddie is a super talented DJ - producer who I noticed works really hard at his craft and at the moment is on an upward trajectory with some amazing production and captivating DJ sets under his belt. Definitely one to watch!” - Colin Dale
