Amplify Series 001: Silent Servant

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard the Los Angeles-based DJ and producer @silentservant (Sandwell District, Jealous God, Hospital Productions) for the first episode of their Amplify Series. Juan Mendez has been composing for a decade an obscure and powerful techno under the name of Silent Servant. Cradled as a teenager by post-punk, the Californian has retained the taste for dark and tense atmospheres, which can be found in his polished and violent productions. Released at the end of 2018, on the prestigious Hospital Productions label, “Shadows Of Death And Desire” is his second album. It continues the path carved out by “Negative Fascination”, published in 2011, which is a true electro-noise manifesto of fascinating darkness. Hyperactive man of multiple projects (Tropic Of Cancer, label Cytrax, art director), he draws his inspiration from the DIY 70s’ post punk and wave obscurities and later on, electronic warehouse parties in DTLA. Nobody can escape the ravages of Silent Servant. 1. Octagon // @BasicChannelofficial 2. Gruve // Planetary Assault Systems (@luke-slater) 3. Axis // Basic Channel 4.
