widely recognized both here and abroad as a producer of techno,
john tejada transcends the easy limitations of genre and style.
with dozens of singles, remixes, some film and tv work and
contributions to sample cds to his credit, this recent expansion
has born a slew of tracks deeply informed by his uncompromised
aesthetic--honed over years of diligent production--which finds
its roots in detroit techno but references a far broader range of
music, both in and outside of electronic music. his musically
formative years were steeped in classical music, growing up in
family of performing artists--his mother a soprano singer and his
father a conductor. gradually, his interests widened to include
hip hop, djing and finally, electronic music.
known for crafting a brand of subtle, musical techno, his recorded
output ranges across tempo and genre lines, from chilled out
affairs with spacious arrangements to pulsating, densely layered,
deeply energetic tracks that work magnificently in the hands of
djs as well as on the home stereo. earlier on, his music found
release on labels such as a13, multiplex and generation r&s.
following those successes, he established his own imprint,
palette, in los angeles, in 1996, and has enjoyed five years of
steady growth and recognition. the label has served as an
exclusive outlet for his own prodigious output but has recently
begun to expand its roster. he has also continued to record for
other labels such as plug research, seventh city, defocus, and
ferox, often in collaboration with artists such as arian leviste
and titonton duvante. alongside these numerous singles, he has
also produced five albums; two for a13, and one each for defocus,
palette and plug research.
