Waiting for the Get Down

I've been bumping into John Tejada's music since forever. The first time was maybe 20 years ago when I visited the local dj only record store in my hometown, I was buying IDM, illbient and weird beats cds, everybody else was tracking the latest club music, and Tejada had been suggested to me by the owner, something about his synth sounds was resonating with me, it felt like elegant stuff compared to other stuff they were blasting.

But now it's the time I finally and properly get into his music, and this collaboration with Reggie Watts out on Brainfeeder is the perfect jumping point for me.

The grooves are extremely cool, the bass synth deep and punchy, the songs catchy and soulful, this is extremely cool club music, like what they spin at a place downtown where they definitely wouldn't let me in.

Exceptional dancing music.
