about

The widescreen scope of Eddie Merced’s take on deep techno continues to expand as the Connecticut-based producer returns with another three-strong projection past the edge of the horizon. With prior releases on his R4808n label, Merced has laid out a thematic thread tying the warm, mysterious pulse of his productions to the half-hidden secrets of government agencies and the possibilities entering the airspace above our heads.

It’s a rich pool of inspiration which carries through to ‘Starfighter’ - a moody but energising track which comes on like the last of the day’s light fading into the indigo hues of the night sky, viewed from a high altitude. The dogfight mix is also peppered with the frantic chatter of pilots engaged in a dogfight - snatches of radio taken out of context but given a new life in the undulating synth tapestry of Merced’s studio craft. For those who want to focus on the production, the ‘Dubfight Mix’ strips the comms away to let the ebb and flow of the arps and pads do the talking.

‘Magneto Propulsion’ completes the picture with a modulating, psychedelic house trip draped in broad strokes of synth strings and driven by the oscillating insistence of the bassline. As ever, it’s the hint towards the unknown which Merced expresses so perfectly, conjuring the seductive wonder of what lies just beyond the ‘truths’ as they are told to us.
