Joy is it. Yes writing about music is dancing about architecture. But one of the things music can be at its best is joy. Selection of tracks here that, for me at least, bring joy, build, reflect, surround it, explode and envelope it, sustain it. Etc. A few favourites basically. Love, Space by Leila heard on a channel 4 documentary in the 90s and still love it. Tracks funky high life and Haidara (a lioness) are about as good as music gets. Perfect tracks from Talk Talk, alice coltrane, nina simone. Colin Mcphee's transcription of indonesian gamalan played by him and Ben Britten. Stars of the lid's happiest number, and other banging tunes. Monocarpic is a once flowering plant, and Monocarpics is a music project between brothers across borders going back 20 years. However dark the night, there will always be a dawn.

Silent Servant Presents: Optimistic Decay

With Silent Servant

Silent Servant is the primary pseudonym of California electronic artist Juan Mendez, who produces techno with a heavy post-punk/industrial influence. He first began releasing material as Silent Servant during the mid-2000s, when he was a key member of the influential techno collective Sandwell District. Following numerous well-received underground singles, he made a major impact on the techno world with Negative Fascination, his acclaimed 2012 full-length debut. Following Mendez's co-founding of the Jealous God label in 2013, as well as several singles and collaborations with the likes of Marcel Dettmann and Phase Fatale, Silent Servant released his second album, the more overtly EBM-influenced Shadows of Death and Desire, in 2018. 2023 sees Mendez continuing to Play the US and Europe, New releases On L.I.E.S., Tresor and maintaining his sixth year of the Optimistic Decay radio show on NTS.
