LA techno stalwart John Tejada has been releasing quality techno and tech-house since the mid ’90s. Even with a diverse array of collaborations and off-genre experiments his productions prove reliably excellent, and his latest LP for Kompakt, “Parabolas,” is a flowing, rounded suite of delicately-treated sound, a few old-school nods brought into the near future, and dangerous hooks.

Tejada’s reliability extends to the decks, making him an in-demand DJ for those who recognize live talent beyond studio and a choice for Droid parties since the beginning. For this edition of D-Node he delivers a jacking mix of timeless techno and house dance tracks.

We contacted Jeff for a Q&A, and after the delays of moving into a basement, “jamming all day & drinking all night,” and apparently scoring some Rothko paintings (interesting), he delivered his responses.

From his earliest demos to his current position as a key figure in the global techno scene, Perc (aka Ali Wells) has taken the established forms of the music he loves and twisted them into something new and fresh. Building up successful relationships with scene-leading labels such as Drumcode, Ovum, Kompakt and CLR whilst unleashing a strong run of releases on his own Perc Trax label has seen Perc’s influence and support grow even further. With each release his sonic experimentation has taken another leap forward without losing sight of the dance floor. As a DJ and live act Perc has covered all of Europe plus multiple tours of USA, Canada, Mexico, South Africa and Japan. This year his rigorous tour continues in support of his latest full length entitled WICKER + STEEL which was released on his own imprint Perc Trax earlier this year.
