About

A celebrated fixture in the world of left-field dance music since the late '90s, DJ and producer John Tejada proves that minimal techno can be warmly melodic rather than forbiddingly austere. His 10th album, <i>Signs Under Stress</i>, is built around typically slow-burning grooves, tracks that are more immersive than propulsive. The stripped-down beats recall everything from vintage electro (“Y O Why”) to classic Detroit techno (“Penumbra”) to rippling trance (“Endorphins”). And each track is packed with a near-psychedelic level of detail, as Tejada threads spine-tingling melodies and surprising synth-pop hooks around hypnotic, intricate rhythms.
