Los Angeles-based dj Juan Mendez started making techno records in the late
1990s, but assumed the identity of Silent Servant only in the mid-2000s
for a string of singles and EPs:
The Silent Morning (2006),
Violencia (2008),
The Blood Of Our King (2008),
Negative Fascinations (2009),
El Mar (2010),
Hypnosis In The Modern Age (2011).
Meanwhile, Silent Servant also formed
Tropic of Cancer with Camella Lobo, debuting with an update of the
new wave and industrial music of the late 1970s, The Dull Age (2009);
and collaborated with the ruthless experiments of British dj Karl O'Connor (aka Regis) under the moniker Sandwell District, a collective documented on
Feed-Forward (2010).
Silent Servant's first album,
Negative Fascination (Hospital Productions, 2012),
focused on a gothic form of minimal techno from the
sensual pulsations of The Invocation Of Lust to the
evil psychosis of The Strange Attractor, from the industrial orgy of
Temptation & Desire to the
gloomy rapid-fire dub-tinged Utopian Disaster (almost a tribute to Basic Channel filtered through the aesthetic of Giorgio Moroder).
