Merkur 5 (Vinyl Only) Shingo Suwa

After the previous four compilation releases, Merkur’s founder Shingo Suwa now announces his own EP. As first track ‘Never leave me / original mix’ is a smooth house track, which combines synthetic riffs and chords with a solid bass line. ‘HM Dub’ is a remix by House Mannequin, This remix contains some of the vintage Chicago style beat, including filtered pads with dubbed samples. It is an incessant groove of a mellow and simple dub edit. Side B ‘Inhaled deeply / original’ is a profound production by Shingo, created with a deep and raw groove. Wild rhythms assist the techno flavor here as well. ‘Sei Katsu Acid mix’ was created by the mysterious newcomer ‘Sei Katsu from Miyazaki’. This remix is a repetitive trip through hypnotic, sweeping synthesized lines and tricky drumming. It’s kind of a DJ tool that is functional on the dance floor. The label and his crew were able to create some sound and functional tracks, The vinyl has a quite modern underground atmosphere that is received well on the floor. The record has two original tracks made by Shingo. Additionally, it includes a remix for each track. Merkur releases on vinyl only. Limited to 300 copies.
