[LEEDS, UK] 30.4.05 TECHNIQUE w. JOHN TEJADA & ALEX SMOK

Dave Martin · Post by **Dave Martin** » Thu Apr 21, 2005 12:20 pm

We've been waiting so long for this, we are proud to finally be able to present Mr JOHN TEJADA. Undoubtedly one of, if not the, most talented producer in the world today. John's production output is phenomenal, but whether it's house, techno, drum n bass, electronica or even rock, he somehow manages to make every genre sound like it's his area of expertise. Recently his Palette releases and his Logic Memory Centre LP have been staple part of many a great DJs record box. He arrives in Leeds to promote the forthcoming third album with his long time partner Arian Leviste, 'Back For Basics'. Luckily for us John is also a seriously special DJ too, what a surprise eh!?

ALEX SMOKE is part of a generation of producers who are blurring the boundaries between minimal, techno and electronica. This music still may live on the dancefloor but it occupies so much more. Drawing from a myriad of influences including dub, electro, grime, latin and experimental pop, Alex Smoke has concocted a deeply emotive artist album that is mysterious, melancholic and inspiring. The quality of his output on Soma and the fantastic Vakant records as well as his remixes for the likes of Funk D'Void and Radio 4 have quickly established Smoke as an artist that the UK should be proud of. He's no slouch behind the decks either. Get down, to this!
