Silent Servant’s annual appearances at Kremwerk’s dank bunker always brings a potent dose of dark, stark techno, a commodity essential to any music aficionado's diet—at least in my twisted view. The LA DJ/producer and former Sandwell District member is one of the most dependable champions for this kind of club music that simultaneously reflects a sense of looming catastrophe and provides the catharsis to cope with it. Seattle DJs Kristen Dalen and Yamanaka should set the tone well with their own savvy selections in the banging, psychedelic techno realm. by Dave Segal
