Sandwell District

If anyone defined the sound of the new wave of industrial techno in the 2010s, it was definitely the Sandwell District project. Back then, still as a trio, the artists demonstrated that one could boldly experiment with shades of gray in music, yet not be afraid of melody and emotionality, creating in an almost gothic style, drawing heavily from the post-punk aesthetics of 1980s Britain. Unfortunately, in 2024, Silent Servant passed away under tragic circumstances, but Function and Regis decided to continue their work in tribute to their late friend. This year, they are releasing a new album, End Beginnings, their first in 14 years, and continue to perform on stages worldwide.
