As a member of the Sandwell District collective and artistic director of the label, he collaborated on works that were responsible for a global focal shift in the genre, as their label adapted and challenged the minimalist techno paradigm, drawing influences from other sources such as dub, post-punk, and even classical minimalism.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative flex w-full flex-col lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)] agent-turn\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"38a831a9-f0f3-4f63-8d1c-6b4734d24552\" class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start gap-3 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-5 overflow-x-auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert dark\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBut Mendez's relationship with music goes back far beyond these seminal releases. With \"In Memoriam,\" Silent Servant's latest production on Tresor Records, Mendez writes a deeply personal memoir of a 30+ year career dedicated to exploring and absorbing the darker side of music; a carefully crafted elegy to past people, places, and times and the lasting effect they have on the present.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcross the four tracks, Mendez pays homage to early Detroit techno and electro, the Belgian EBM movement and the new wave music that followed, the monumental dub techno sound of Berlin, and the harder, more abrasive sound of the UK at the turn of the last millennium; exploring and referencing the genres that informed his later work. Each track name gives a hint to the period of time he is revisiting and recontextualizing as the EP repurposes the styles that exerted influence on him.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis EP represents a pure distillation of Mendez's memoirs while also cementing his place in the current and future sound of 21st-century techno; aware of where we came from but focused on where we are headed.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Tenampa Record Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43968291438755,"sku":"","price":380.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/1239\/2867\/files\/a3753488439_10.jpg?v=1706660916","url":"https:\/\/tenampa.mx\/en\/products\/silent-servant-in-memoriam-tresor","provider":"Tenampa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
