Red Mercury drops new music video

Red Mercury is a duo featuring the talents of Steve Gregory and Isobel Crawford, who together have lit up the London music scene with their gripping electronic sound. With a musical vision that looks both backward and forward at once, that cut nostalgia with futuristic flair from their West London studio where they balance vintage synths with modular hardware. Melting progressive house, trance, breakbeat and drum and bass stylings into a powerful sonic cocktail, they’ve found a formula that’s made them one of the city’s most intriguing electronic acts, equally at home channeling rave energy as they are crafting immersive, cinematic soundscapes.

Red Mercury’s story began in 2020 with their debut single “Blinding Lights,” a release that firmly planted them on the map of must watch new acts on the rise with a penchant for blending analogue warmth with impactful sound design. Each track since has built on their engrossing musical world and by 2023, they’d found breakthrough success with “Firefly,” a single that topped drum and bass charts and picked up extensive radio support across Europe.

It was a moment that confirmed their ability to both experiment and strike a chord with listeners, tapping into the energy of electronic traditions while taking them into new spheres. Building on that momentum, the duo has continued going from strength to strength with each move, dropping more tracks including collaborations with the likes of King Jims and BRYAN THE MENSAH.

Now they bring us their latest release with their brand new single titled “I Still Remain,” a track which marks five years since they first landed on the music scene. Created in their Notting Hill studio and mastered by Matthew Gray Mastering in Brisbane, Australia, the single takes on influences from Sub Focus to Chase and Status, fusing the high-octane energy of drum and bass with sci-fi-inflected atmospheres.

Set up by the eerie swell of moody synth textures, the contrast between ominous tones and bright, airy synth elements forms an immersive scene as the smooth vocal leads ring out above. Launching with the charge of drum and bass rhythms, the rattle of crisp percussion propels the track with relentless forward-motion while stacks of various synth timbres casts an enveloping soundscape of wobbling, growling and silky sounds.

Layering stunning vocals over a framework of intricate beats and deep, futuristic textures, “I Still Remain” sees Red Mercury serve up another thrilling slice of infectious dance pop music. To celebrate this landmark release, they created a short film to accompany the track, incorporating virtual production and 3D visualisation to deliver an engaging visual experience that transports viewers through a riveting spectacle. Five years in, the duo continue to shine while chasing new horizons and their latest chapter suggests the journey has a lot more in store for Red Mercury and their incredible sonic output.
