Sextile / Panther Modern - Acid House, Drum n Bass, Techno, Punk from LA, CALI.

Duo from Los Angeles, California, composed of guitarist/vocalist Brady Keehn and drummer/vocalist Melissa Scaduto.

Since its inception in 2015, Sextile have gained a devout following thanks to the seductive energy of their live shows and non-stop touring. The '3' EP (released in 2018) follows up their 2017 album 'Albeit Living' and early 2018's "Current Affair" single released on Felte Records.

After numerous lineup changes, the now two-piece comprised of Brady Keehn and Melissa Scaduto have shifted toward a minimalist approach that’s as heavy hitting as ever. Now favoring synths over guitars, they haven't thrown out the strings completely. '3' was recorded in Los Angeles at their home and practice space using a KORG MS-10, a sequencer, a Fender Stratocaster, a LinnDrum, and various percussion instruments.

January 2019. The band announce Sextile is on a definite hiatus. Both bandmembers will continue to create music but as individual artists.

2022: release of new single: Modern Weekend/Contortion



PANTHER MODERN

EBM solo project of Sextile vocalist Brady Keehn. Soundscaping a fogged-out fatalistic-future…. this is Panther Modern and this is ‘Los Angeles 2020’. This is where it was always heading…the neon brightens, the beats get bigger, the bodies move… from the fluorescent husk of Sextile… Panther Modern has something to say. This is a future-past, where Neuromancer aesthetic meets synthetic EBM pleasure… Panther Modern handles every facet of Keehn’s latest techno-vision, and finds the ever-evolving Keehn combining the audio/visual components buried deep within his programming into one cohesive project. Panther Modern is an exciting new audio/visual project by Brady Keehn (of recently defunct LA outfit Sextile). His self-released debut EP, aptly titled ‘Los Angeles 2020’, is out now. The 4-track EP was written, recorded and produced by Brady Keehn and mastered by Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher, Merchandise, Niños Du Brasil).

Push
by Sextile




Since emerging in 2015, Sextile have been a party-provoking force on the LA underground, capable of kicking up a riot with the raw-edged squall of a synth or the sharp-elbowed jerk of a guitar.

Sextile are now ready to rage with a serotonin-boosting new album, a new group dynamic, faster BPMs, and an even wilder new direction. Recorded in Yucca Valley, Push bounces and bops at the fringes of hardcore dance music, with the hallmarks of drum & bass, gabber and trance illuminating the record like glow sticks at a ‘90s Fantazia rave.

“Contortion” introduces the album with shadowy vocals from Keehn and a ‘00s-ready twist of dirty electro bass, setting the tone for the dance-punk rave-up that unfolds across 11 attention-grabbing tracks. There’s plenty of historic teen angst and biting social commentary written into the album’s vivid tales and misadventures. Balancing storytelling with face-melting synths that turn the tune into an acid trance character study, “No Fun” is penned from the perspective of a teenager trying to flee their town.

A punk spirit underscores the album. The clue’s in the name with “Crassy Mel,” which partly serves as a high-energy dedication to ‘70s anarcho-punk legends Crass. The track’s head banging heft, vocal yelping, and Prodigy-shaped breakbeats accentuate the album’s over whelming sense of fun. Plus, the dreamy ambient wash at the end of the song is the ultimate palate-cleanser.

Push was inspired by the kind of pleasure-seeking music fans whose social calendar comprises both the punk show and the rave. Josh Wink, Iggy Pop, Goldie, and early XL Recording shave all been name checked as influences onPush, and the dance floor remains a constant presence. Repping their place of origin, “New York” brings these musical touchstones off the page, guiding the album like an acid-soaked lodestar with its grinning nod to “Higher State ofConsciousness” and a whirly gig of music-box synths. There are still nods and “hellos” to the caustic post-punk of Sextile’s earlier work. Sextile haven’t relinquished their punk credentials, they’ve just given them a smiley-faced revamp.
