Detroit-bred Jimmy Edgar adds to his arsenal of crisp and infectious techno the new EP, Mercurio. Through multiple builds set up within each of the three tracks, the EP creates prime dance floor moments and gives new life to Mercurio‘s repetitious nature. With first track, “Ultraviolet,†Edgar constructs and restructures his rhythm with calculated precision, finally ringing in the track’s sweet spot with a resounding metallic reverberation. The title track “Mercurio†builds its energy with a drum machine mimicking the call of a marching snare, then strips down to a raw, no-nonsense club anthem. “Qlinda,†the final track, emerges steadily with upbeat buoyancy, then holds the brakes as the sampled vocals shout “feels good,†which Mercurio certainly does.
