SILENT SERVANT UNVEILS NEW TRACK “DAMAGE“

SHADOWS OF DEATH AND DESIRE OUT

DECEMBER 7 ON HOSPITAL PRODUCTIONS

NYC RELEASE SHOW DECEMBER 8 AT THE KNOCKDOWN CENTER

Silent Servant unveils the second single “Damage” from his new album, Shadows of Death and Desire out

December 7th on Hospital Productions. 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–with his “Jealous God” imprint that captured 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.

On Shadows of Death and Desire, Mendez‘s sound has evolved — more aggressive, more stripped-down acid punk electro dance attacks. While many would stall after the success of a now contemporary cult classic, Mendez took his time to deliver a more raw–yet refined–brutalism in his second album.

Also a student of cinematic deconstruction, the album looks inward from the exterior of LA’s untold stories in the netherworlds on the edge of the city–a rapid crash course in confidence games and subsequent letdowns. Having survived a five-year whirlwind of global travel and nighttime explorations into “f*ing shit up,” Mendez reflects on his techno epics, saying, “What happens with failure? Disillusionment. I know it’s in a good place – I want to touch it, but I don’t want to live there. This is the not the person you are – don’t be this person. Stop.”

Shadows of Death and Desire sets the standard in electronic post-punk. Expertly mixed and mastered by Josh Eustis. Designed by Silent Editions.
