Birthed in the playful amateur experimentalism of New York's 1970s no wave scene, Sonic Youth are potentially the definitive American rock band of the post-punk era. From the creative blossoming of EVOL, to their mammoth art rock masterpiece of "Day Dream Nation" to the surprising commercial victory of "Goo", the band continuously bucked convention, and remained in flux creatively up until their unofficial ceasing in 2011.

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.
