Sandwell District

​Sandwell District are a seminal techno collective and record label that emerged in the early 2000s, renowned for reshaping the landscape of underground electronic music. Founded in 2002 by British producers Karl O'Connor (Regis) and Peter Sutton (Female), the project evolved into a transatlantic collaboration in the mid-2000s with the addition of David Sumner (Function) from New York and Juan Mendez (Silent Servant) from Los Angeles. Their innovative approach blended the stark minimalism of Birmingham techno with influences from post-punk and industrial music, creating a distinctive sound that challenged the conventions of the genre. Initially operating as a record label, Sandwell District became known for its anonymous releases and collective ethos, deliberately eschewing the celebrity DJ culture prevalent at the time. This approach culminated in their acclaimed 2010 album Feed-Forward, which showcased their commitment to artistic integrity and sonic experimentation. Despite disbanding in 2011, Sandwell District's influence persisted, with members continuing to perform and release music individually. In 2025, the collective reunited to release End Beginnings, their first original record in 15 years. The album marked a departure from their earlier precision-focused style, embracing a more relaxed and exploratory sound. It also served as a tribute to the late Juan Mendez, who passed away in January 2024 and whose contributions as Silent Servant were integral to the group's identity.
