Tech Talk: John Tejada on his studio set-up (Electronic Beats TV)

John Tejada is one of the most respected electronic music producers in the states. Born in Vienna, but living in California since he was a very young age, he has been exploring the hinterlands between techno and house for over two decades, releasing records on his own Palette Recordings, Poker Flat, 7th City and KOMPAKT. Tejada brings a sumptuous swing and texture to his work all of his very own – partly, perhaps, the result of his mixed use of hard- and software and instinct-driven approach. In this look at his studio set-up, shot in his space in LA, he tells Telekom Electronic Beats TV why it all comes down to putting the sound in the right place.

John Tejada's productions were my best masterclass on electronic music ! Huge fan of his style, that's the thing he has a very unique style, fresh, fun, full of soft and hard layers. He has definitely the vibe. Such a beautiful human being, loved this video!

Watching it and now want to re-listen all Tejada's bangers.
He is very talented and one of the most iconic producers for me.

I absolutely love and adore this man and his music. My routine is to get home after a long day at work, whack on my beats headphones and then plunging into the wonderfully and heavenly world of John Tejada. He must live long and prosper and never stop producing such gorgeous music 🎶

I have Tejada releases on 12 that I've collected since the late 90s. Can't really say that about many other producers. Longevity like this is rare.

04:24: Once I was taught this, it completely changed my mixes from something of an immense struggle to something far, far easier. This really is the key.

His last few albums on Kompakt have all been amazing.
