London-based electronic duo Red Mercury return with ‘People are to Love’, a tightly constructed yet expansive single that reinforces their position within the cinematic EDM space. Blending elements of techno, progressive house, and drum & bass, the track balances club-ready propulsion with a strong sense of atmosphere and narrative intent.
Built around modular synth textures and a driving low-end, ‘People are to Love’ unfolds with measured tension and restraint, gradually opening into a hypnotic, forward-moving groove. The production is polished and physical, designed for large systems without sacrificing detail or emotional depth.
The collaboration with Gargoyle Girlfriend adds a distinct dimension. Rachel McInerney’s ethereal vocals introduce a cyberpunk-tinged melancholy that complements Red Mercury’s widescreen sound design, elevating the track beyond functional dancefloor fare. Her delivery brings a human presence that anchors the track’s themes of movement, dislocation, and new beginnings.
Drawing subtle influence from artists such as BT, Boris Brejcha, and Sub Focus, Red Mercury avoid imitation by operating in the space between genres, allowing mood and momentum to guide the arrangement. The result is a track that works equally well in festival environments and more immersive listening settings.
With ‘People are to Love’, Red Mercury continue to refine a sound rooted in scale, emotion, and precision, offering a release that feels globally informed and confidently forward-looking.
