Shadows Of Death And Desire

Hospital Productions

***BACK IN STOCK!!!  Received a 7.8 rating from Pitchfork.  SILENT SERVANT returns with Shadows of Death and Desire. Now-legendary producer, DJ, and art director JUAN MENDEZ arguably reset techno at least twice. Once with his surreal and Europe-by-way-of-LA '80s apocalypse culture aesthetics for SANDWELL DISTRICT, and again as Silent Servant capturing the youth-driven mutation of crossover electronics and dark parties churning in the American underground, which followed directly in the wake of his game-changing modern classic, Negative Fascination (2012). Mendez has evolved to more aggressive and stripped-down acid punk electro dance attacks Shadows of Death and Desire. Mendez took his time to deliver a more raw—yet refined—brutalism on this, his second album. Shadows of Death and Desire sets the standard in electronic post-punk. Mixed and mastered by JOSH EUSTIS. Designed by Silent Editions. LP version includes a poster.

Negative Fascination

Hospital Productions

Negative Fascination is the first official full-length album from SILENT SERVANT. JUAN MENDEZ has achieved international acclaim as a DJ and is one of the founding producers of the infamous and highly-influential Sandwell District label. Long-time followers will feel the effects of a die cast over a decade of precision and dedication to underground minimalist electronic music. Mendez blends his previously-stated interpretations of early post-punk, filtered through the monolithic works of Basic Channel with his own progressively nihilistic vision of industrial music. He utilizes a relentless and uncompromising mastery of hard-as-nails sequencer techno combined with dystopian atmospherics filling the void. Negative Fascination bridges disparate factions on ideological grounds, regardless of sound in the age of mutation. Mastered and cut by MATT COLTON at Air Studios, London.
