Revenge From The Penthouse

Flickering, the holodeck screen displayed the decrypted data… Schematics for an illegal type of field generator… Waves of Full Metal Frequencies could override any anti-music technology… A tetrad fusion core is required… Scour the edges of the planet to find it… “These guys from Zeta Reticuli are no joke”… “You’d have to be insane to pilot this thing”…


Following his debut solo EP as Dilly Bombastik, Dragoș Ilici returns to Tonomat with his first release under his own name — Mercy EP, a four-track trip that captures the evolving depth and character of his sound.On the A-side, “Rammer” kicks things off with a raw, percussive Detroit-inspired techno workout, anchored by a heavy sub and hypnotic drive. It’s followed by the title track “Mercy” — a lo-fi, emotive exploration textured with warmth and grit, drawing influence from Cristian Vogel and Cari Lekebusch.Flipping over to the B-side, “Chaga” dives into deeper territory — a meditative blend of trance-laced techno, nodding to the sonic signatures of Dustin Zahn and Mike Parker, and weaving in fragments of Tchaikovsky’s Hymn of the Cherubim for a haunting, timeless effect.Closing the EP, fellow Romanian producer ardb (Bogdan Ardeleanu) reworks “Chaga” into a stripped-back, rolling techno/trance tool — expansive, breaky, and primed for late-night floors with its stretched-out breakdown and sense of spatial vastness.An EP crafted for introspective moments and peak-time pulses alike — Mercy marks a bold step forward for Dragoș Ilici.A1, A2, B1 written & produced by Dragoș Ilici between 2022 and 2023.A1, A2, B1 mixed by Dragoș Ilici & Cristian Munteanu.B2 remix and additional production by Bogdan Ardeleanu.Mastered by Justin Drake at The Bakehouse Studio.Distributed by One Eye Witness.
