A well-aged album we have been listening to for years now and won’t get tired of. Wether you are in the mood for some warm-up or fighting your hangover, this one serves well.

Juan Mendez’s techno origins stretch back to the late 90s, when he put up cutting edge minimal labels like Cytrax and Delay, along with Steve Tang and Kit Clayton. His Silent Servant moniker finally came up in 2006 when joining the acclaimed Sandwell District collective, making a mark with his dark and simmering sound aesthetics. His consistent and focussed output, whether as collaborator, solo producer, label head or graphic artist, has earned him genuine credentials from various scenes; whether techno and industrial, goth, punk or wave. Silent Servant’s own productions are brutally honest and resolute, with a deeply pensive core and forward-thinking orientation. Mendez also collaborates with UR’s Santiago Salazar, running the Historia y Violencia label, and set up the Jealous God imprint with James Ruskin and Regis, on which he recently dropped an intense EBM joint with Marcel Dettmann. Listen to it below.

I am constantly sharing music with my friends. This way I’m able to listen to music outside my bubble, which is a priceless gift. This LP was given to me by my friend Karim and is without any doubt a very important one to ambient music. Global Communication is Mark Pritchard and Tom Middleton together and the album is from 1994. I first listened to it while working on my bachelor thesis. Usually I can’t listen to music when I’m actually trying to read or write because it simply distracts me. So I tried ambient music, thinking naively that the subtle soundscapes wouldn’t distract me. Well, after the first or second song from „76:14“ I found myself staring at the screen, spacing out on Global Communication.

It’s one of my favorite albums that I listen to all the time, on the train, during bed, especially i like to listen to while I cook and also my favorite to listen to a Friday after work before the weekend begins or a Sunday as the weekend ends. I think it’d be great to listen to before a party too  🙂 A beautiful feeling expressed through out like almost being tucked into bed or walking and with your friends arms around eachother’s necks.

Mitar Subotic Suba is one of the pioneers of Yugoslavian electronic music, producer of a few legendary new wave albums from the 80s and under his pseudonym Suba the man who made Brazilian music popular all over the world back in the 90s. It is because of people like him that Belgrade and Yugoslavia had such a rich music scene back in the 80s. It was the time when I was a kid and everything that was happening in my home city had a huge influence on my music taste and general course of life. If I haven’t been exposed to all that in my early childhood, my whole musical being could have gone in a terribly bad direction as it has happened to many people around me in the war-colored 90s.

Suba also had a project named “Rex Ilusivii” which means “king of illusions”. It’s something we would these days call “ambient music”. His work under this alias have been reissued and rediscovered and brought to international audience by my dear friend Vladimir Ivkovic who runs Offen Music label. “In The Mooncage” was the label’s first release and I’ve been opening my sets with different songs from this one since I got the record. What really touches me deeply about this record is the use of Serbian folk lullabies and chants. There’s something intriguing and genuinely dark about Serbian mythology (vampire is originally a Serbian word) and this record truly works with this sentiment. When I hear it, I can feel the spirits of my ancestors in my whole body and at the same time it awakens the memory of my growing up surrounded with electronica in the 80s. This record is emotionally very important to me and I hope whoever manages to come to Blitz early and hear it on their mighty soundsystem will be able to dive deep in the night.
