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.

For the second release of the west french label exod. Theobald Ringer & Taho have associated their forces to propose a deep tech-house EP around 4 tracks with 2 originals and 2 remixs tracks.

A recent sonic memoir from a beautiful evening, playing a vinyl only (almost) set. Recorded under a snowy winter morning somewhere in the outskirts of Stockholm in December 2024.

This was by far one of the best Stockholm underground events that's happened the past 10 years. Massive props to the Stilio crew for their excellent effort.

Spasden - Tears may fall ( Feat. Frank Zozky Deep tech house version )

Deep Tech House that I dig has been a sound constructed from the Directness of Techno, the Melodic Nature of House and the Warmth of Deep House. Here's my deep dive into tech-house featuring tracks by Terry Lee Brown jr., one of my favorite dth producers and quite a few tracks from the (plastic city) label who have been an underground deep/tech fortress since the 1990s. While not all the tracks here are strictly deep tech house, the others act as supporting actors to strengthen the deep vibe even further and blur lines between Genres. The track "Devotion" by Memet (feat Katerine) which inspired the title  is a true underground dance classic and will be marked in the timeline along with other Tracks of Interest. Enjoy!

Right Spirit - Take a break - Deep tech-house mix

Enoprod-Om(unsigned)

"exod." prend son ancrage dans la volonté de créer un label de musique électronique qui diffuse une musique éclectique (ambient, breakbeat, house, techno...) sans se limiter dans le genre electronique, ayant pour but de faire voyager ses auditeurs.

We don't accept any demos right now, you'll be contact if we want to work with you.

Years ago I realized that the recording studio was becoming a musical instrument. I even lectured about it, proclaiming that "by turning sound into malleable material, studios invite you to construct new worlds of sounds as painters construct worlds of form and color." I was thrilled at how people were using studios to make music that otherwise simply could not exist. Studios opened up possibilities. But now I'm struck by the insidious, computer-driven tendency to take things out of the domain of muscular activity and put them into the domain of mental activity. This transfer is not paying off. Sure, muscles are unreliable, but they represent several million years of accumulated finesse. Musicians enjoy drawing on that finesse (and audiences respond to its exercise), so when muscular activity is rendered useless, the creative process is frustrated. No wonder artists who can afford the best of anything keep buying "retro" electronics and instruments, and revert to retro media.

The trouble begins with a design philosophy that equates "more options" with "greater freedom." Designers struggle endlessly with a problem that is almost nonexistent for users: "How do we pack the maximum number of options into the minimum space and price?" In my experience, the instruments and tools that endure (because they are loved by their users) have limited options.

Software options proliferate extremely easily, too easily in fact, because too many options create tools that can't ever be used intuitively. Intuitive actions confine the detail work to a dedicated part of the brain, leaving the rest of one's mind free to respond with attention and sensitivity to the changing texture of the moment. With tools, we crave intimacy. This appetite for emotional resonance explains why users – when given a choice – prefer deep rapport over endless options. You can't have a relationship with a device whose limits are unknown to you, because without limits it keeps becoming something else. Brian Eno 1999.





I was 18 years old when i start doing music i play and write music for many years most of them are lost , time to change and make more music i  study at SAE Institut Stuttgart , im on my way to release.

[Arturia Keystep PRO] has arrived in the e-lemental.Music Studio... it was the last new unit in Vancouver and came at a hefty price for a MIDI Controller but I recon with the amount of Gear accumulated here, especially the semi-modulars, the Keystep Pro will be very useful tool indeed. Pictured here with the Beatstep Pro, one Sync Cable between them offers me control of 5 Melodic Sequencers and 2 Drums, or 6 Melodic and 1 Drum. This setup got me on fire and the Roland TR-8S is the perfect drum machine companion to these.

NXT RECORDING -- LIVE with no playlist so completely spontaneous ALL selected from my Vinyl/Vinyl Sourced Collection of Quality Tracks mixed with ROLAND TR-8S Drum Machine Beast with its 128 excellent drum kits and 128 Patterns. This is to celebrate the TIGHT SYNC between the TR-8S and Traktor using MIDI Clock and moving one step closer towards completely LIVE UNSCRIPTED Mixes with the Drum Machine Wonder.... I will call these types of mixes FRESH and with adding live drum patterns it becomes a LIVE PA MIX.

Music Label run by a long-time DJ LEM, living on the West Coast diving deep into Music Production, especially the Live Performance kind. I've been featured on Glen Hooker's Radio Show! Please look for it in the Repost Section - a fantastic Episode. 

Latest (echospace) Detroit Vinyls from CV313 have arrived, blue vinyl pictured is SAILINGSTARS and is absolutely sublime. The cherry vinyl is in my repost section if you want to check it out, it's CV313 plays Mike Huckaby. They will both be featured on the next Sessions. NXT Dated Lem Sessions at 120BPM - right between the couch and the dancefloor. a mix of styles that sound good at that tempo. this will likely be the first of mixes that include the Roland TR-8S sync'd to Traktor for some Live PA magic.

New Photos of the e-lemental.Music Studio will be posted soon at http://e-lemental.org after I finish the Behringer Rack - Neutron+K2+Proton and the stand for it

2025 will mark the first Track Releases (not just DJ mixes) on e-lemental.Music label. Look for a First Single, then First EP leading to First Album. I am open to other Artists joining the label at some point, but not until those three things are realized.

Dated DJ Mixes, featuring more spontaneous Mixes including some Fully Live Ones with Live PA elements that include a lot of Brand New Tracks! 

The numbered DJ Mixes, my ultra-prepped, concept-based Mixes that I have been doing since Traktor 1.0 came out in the early 2000s. The lined-up mixes for this year are (numbers subject to change):
#50 - Platipus Records -- A Progressive Dream
#51-53 - Berlin's Triple Threat -- Basic Channel / Chain Reaction / Rhythm & Sound
#54 - Twisted FaeryTales IV - Title to be determined - downtempo/ambient
#55 - Taken, Too - based on Jeff Mills' Something in the Sky UFO Label releases - a proper sequel to a live Mix 'Taken' that is posted here
#56 - Studio 1 Releases contrasted with modern Minimalism - TRIPLE DECK MIX

*** I am DJ LEM and this is the Home of e-lemental.Music releases, a Music Label based in Richmond, BC, Canada and is releasing [DJ] Mixes, Singles, EPs, Albums and Live PAs as well as Videos and VJing -- the VJ Projector is now in the Studio. Please see Label Website for more and Mixcloud for archived mixes.

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 istreem 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

The cohesive array of depth charged devices that Anthony Linell has produced is formidable. From his opening statements as Abdulla Rashim on his early label of the same name, right through to his recent work that puts his aliases aside, there is a robust and rigorous intent that compounds the elemental strategies of techno's models to apprehend his singular vision.

Presiding over Stockholm's Northern Electronics label with Varg (Jonas Rönnberg), Linell dispenses with mechanisms of attention on all fronts. Marked by an indefatigable self-reliance, the label presents exactly what it means to display, and no more. Carving an idiosyncratic platform for his music is as great of a warning as there could be that Linell's leveraging little toward the benefit of the audience. By his measure, the familiarity and comfort of contemporary techno is stripped back to its rushing heart, the senses left tailgating the strobe in a fit of intuition over decision. The greater this is exposed the colder it gets, and its in these extremes that Linell's caustic rhythmic precision hits. Live, it comes off as a galvanizing strike from the outside; analysing the room as a DJ, it's a case of being pursued through the dark.

Just as the brevity of Linell's output in the eyes of techno is exalted as it is brought into focus, the background to this blurs as you start to decipher his other projects. Lundin Oil skirts the fringes of noise and experimental music, and in collaboration with Varg as Ulwhednar, this is perhaps even more pronounced.

Purposively ricocheting between the techno world and experimental electronic music, Linell forges a distinct passage that gathers the aesthetically uncompromising motifs and missions from across this spectrum. It's this combination and resolve that's brought Linell to the world's attention, however little that attention has been solicited.
