Review:
Mr. Tejada returns to Kompakt with a solid two-tracker and one which will undoubtedly be rinsed heavily this summer. The man is capable of creating some seriously enticing house grooves, never afraid of trying something new and incorporating more commercial tones together with strange, psychotic melodies. "Somewhere" lies between the vast terrain between house and electro, where its progressive drum patterns merge effortlessly with fuzzy electro basslines and flickering background melodies. "Elsewhere" meanwhile is a more lo-fi jam, where Tejada really shines through and shows us what he's good at: memorable house excursions packed with enough funk to have us all lost in a whirlpool of bouncy synths and gnarly percussion shots.

Review:
Like Petar Dundov, John Tejada is one of the few techno producers capable of making trancey music that never sounds cheesy. However, The Predicting Machine starts with a surprise, namely the pared back, acid-soaked minimalism of "Orbiter", before it launches into the irresistible melodies and lithe break beats of "A Familiar Mood" and the sugar-sweet hooks of "An Ounce of Perception". It's not all upbeat melodies though and both "Winter Skies" and the beatless "Radio Channel" are decidedly melancholic, in particular the gloomy textures on the latter track. Despite this, it is impossible to avoid his intuitive sense of melody and both "Glaringly Happy" and "When All Around is Madness" are classic Tejada tracks, albeit ones that pass through a filter that includes Plaid and 90s intelligent techno at its sweetest.

Review:
LA producer John Tejada has always been a consistent artist, but "Condition" is one of his most memorable releases in the past few years. Instead of focusing his efforts on intricate sound design, Tejada has decided this time to play solely to his greatest strength - his sense of melody. The title track is based on a purring melancholic bass that builds gently yet which contains a hint of menace, like "Snivilisation"-period Orbital in techno mode. However, it's "The Living Night" which really impresses: over a rolling yet more understated bass, its mournful, trancey hooks build and ebb in that effortless manner that only Tejada is capable of.

Review:
John Tejada is one of the undisputed kings of melodic techno and on this joint outing with Josh Humphrey, he shows why he enjoys this reputation. The title track sees him expertly mix a pulsing bassline and subtle, hissing percussion with a key-changing, trancey melody line. "Bifur Gates" manages the same balancing act, only on this occasion it's dreamy, deep chords and heavy, swinging drums that provide the expertly-weighted counterbalance. Only "Unanimous Arc" is more skewed in favour of earthy elements, with an insistent acid line niggling its way through the arrangement, but even here an eerie organ riff provides some respite.

Review:
Maxwell and Tejada make a welcome diversion on their latest Palette missive. Although "Where's The Cable?" will satisfy those who can't get enough of their detuned hooks, slinky, ice-cold minimal rhythms and bassy climaxes, the most rewarding results occur when they go down a less travelled path. "Whoops There It Is" is a killer warehouse groove, its gurgling acid sequence and grainy FX making it sound like the bastard offspring of Absurd Recordings and Moustache Techno. But the biggest surprise is on the title track, where the duo's floaty melodies weave their way in and out of a purring electro bass and shuffling 808s.
