About John Tejada
Known for crafting a brand of subtle, musical techno, John Tejada's recorded output ranges across tempo and genre lines, from chilled out affairs with spacious arrangements to pulsating, densely layered, deeply energetic dance tracks, making him a true "producer's producer."

John was born in Vienna, Austria to parents who are both professional classical musicians (his mother an opera singer and father a conductor) and began his piano training at the age of 4. In 1982 John would move to Los Angeles where he took up drums and and by 12, fueled by a fascination with early hip-hop, he began DJing. His introduction to producing came around the age of 15 when he acquired his first looping delay and soon after came his first workstation, an Ensoniq EPS sampler. By 1991, while still in high school, John was already recording his first productions including making beats fr Ruthless Records. Around this time he met Arian Leviste and in 1994 they pressed up their own single that started a chain reaction of releases on European labels like A13, Multiplex, and Generations R&S. In the fall of 1996 he started his own label, Palette Recordings as an outlet to release his productions while still turing out material for Ferox, Sino, Mosaic, Immigrant, Plug Research, Pokerflat and 7th City.

In 1999, John met classical jazz guitarist Takeshi Nishimoto, which was the beginning of another musical frontier. The project I’m Not A Gun was born and signed soon after to Berlin-based City Centre Offices. This project would bring back John’s own training as a drummer while also trying his hand at the guitar. The project has enjoyed great reviews and success the world over and the duo has performed live in LA, Japan and Germany.

In the summer of 2004, John would - in one week - create the two songs that would catapult his techno career. The classic “Sweat On The Walls,” and “Mono On Mono” were released almost at the same time and together sold over 23,000 copies on vinyl. Dozens of singles and remixes followed along with full-length albums for Playhouse, Palette, Plug Research, deFocus, Moods and Grooves, Immigrant, A13 and most recently Kompakt, all adding up to one of Techno's most prolific, diverse, enduring and respected talents.
