Red Mercury releases new music video

Hailing from London, Red Mercury is an electronic duo known for their ability to explore a range of different styles, crafting a sound that’s at once nostalgic and futuristic. With their shared passion for electronic music, the duo combines vintage synths and cutting-edge modular hardware in their West London studio to create a unique fusion of progressive house and trance, breakbeat and drum and bass music.

This original blend of driving analogue basslines and slick sound design results in spectacular electronic music moments that take listeners on immersive journeys. First sharing their sound with the world in 2020 via their debut single “Blinding Lights,” over the last few years they’ve shared a string of well-received tracks, each providing a new piece in the Red Mercury sonic puzzle and showcasing the diversity of their musical vision.

Last year’s single “Firefly” achieved extraordinary success, topping various drum and bass charts and securing extensive support on radio stations across Europe. Building on this momentum, the duo now presents their latest single, “Romeo Echo Delta,” which further showcases their innovative mix of drum and bass, progressive house and trance.

Fading in with the side-chain pulse of synth textures, intricate echoes of spacey tones zap and buzz as the energy rises towards the steady kick of the beat. With a gritty synth driven by the punch and snap of drums, pitched vocal samples add to the intensity before spoken word elements ride above rattling percussive shots, resulting in an energising dance cut peppered with atmospheric sonic touches and tied together by the crisp beat.

Developing with constant twists and turns, Red mercury presents and enveloping electronic music ride that’s sure to light up airwaves across the world and get listeners moving. Once again serving up another dose of their superb musical creativity, wrapped up in exquisite production, “Romeo Echo Delta” offers a gripping experience across five minutes of innovative electronic music.

The accompanying music video for the track further amplifies Red Mercury’s innovative approach to their artistic output. Utilising brand new technology employed in high-end TV productions like The Mandalorian, the video offers a visually enthralling sci-fi scene that perfectly pairs with the music.

Commenting on the video, the duo’s audio and visual producer Steve Gregory shares, “Virtual production is now accessible to the average person. We harnessed the power of Unreal Engine 5 and employed motion tracking via a Lidar scanner to create virtual sets that move with our physical camera. This method provides a more immersive experience without relying on traditional green screens. Additionally, we incorporated traditional 3D animation and AI tools like Midjourney and Runway to enrich the scenery with extra characters and backgrounds.”
