John Tejada Bio


Normally associated with his peers in Techno from Detroit, Europe and
elsewhere in the US and the world, John Tejada has embraced electronic music
as a personal frontier, expanding on his formidable resume as a Techno
recording artist as producer and remixer, DJ, and label owner. 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 steep in Classical music, growing up in
family of performing artists--his mother a soprano singer and his father a
conductor which then 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 on to those successes, he established his own
imprint, Palette, in Los Angeles, in 1996, and has enjoyed 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 Pokerflat, Plug Research,
Seventh City, Playhouse and others, often in collaboration since 1991 with
Arian Leviste, and alongside these numerous singles, has also produced
albums for Playhouse, Palette, Plug Research, deFocus, Moods and Grooves,
Immigrant and A13.
