- The shadows are longest at dawn… The year is 2007. We have danced to the end of the night, transfixed by the alchemy of darkness, flesh and sweat, in rhythmic pulsation. We have stepped outside into a thousand, pixilated, chemical dawns.The shadows are longest at dawn… The year is 2007. We have danced to the end of the night, transfixed by the alchemy of darkness, flesh and sweat, in rhythmic pulsation. We have stepped outside into a thousand, pixilated, chemical dawns. Lifted up our hands to try and rip through the mottled curtain of the sky. This is the soundtrack to the twilight zone of the earliest hours of the morning. The surreal moment when reality falls away like a trapdoor under your feet, and all the world is a David Lynch hallucination come to life. This is MendoSantos - Servullo Mendez (vocals), Oliveira dos Santos (beats) and Tomas Svensson (sound) – spellbinding you with a unique combination of danceable, tactile beats and a teasing, intimate voice that reminds you of everything you’ve ever forgotten. Enter the soundscape of their underworld - the shared vision that brought them together out of Berlin club-life, coiled like two threads of the same rope - retro decadence cross-bred with a glam so perfect the vinyl veneer of it is cracking open, revealing an infinite black hole beyond. With legendary gigs at the Cannes Nui Art Festival 2007, at open air festivals across Germany and in Berlin at Maria, Golden Gate and Wilde Renate, MendoSantos have proven that they can take the party to its turning point, to a place where either the sun can rise and blot out the memory of a dream, or we can fall into a world where the night, the beat can go on forever… (rose tizane merrill)
